a fight within
So i'm a 17 year old girl. nothing special. but since july ish i've been having this feeling of being alone. i can't talk to my best friend about it because he's always like "i'm here for you" even though he goes to college and i'm still in high school, and he really doesn't understand what i mean. i mean alone, like, i feel like i don't belong anywhere. i'm single so i don't have a bf to talk to, my ex best friend and i are in a fight because we're not always on the same page, and she's so touchy about everything i say. i feel like all my friends are moving on with their lives, while i'm still stuck here not knowing what to do with myself. i want something new in life but i can't seem to find it. i haven't been to a doctor because i don't have one and i know i might have anxiety. my mom had depression so i don't know if that's rubbed off on me or not, but i keep getting this recurring feeling of being disconnected from the world. i've tried doing things to stay away from people, like read and go to the library during school, but nothing feels right anymore. am i mental or is there an explanation for this??

Sweetheart,
I'm not sure why everyone jumps on the depression wagon all the time, when I was 17 it was not the first word spoken. You know what they called it? They called it sole searching, finding oneself. We all have the need to look inside of ourselves, but you know why it's depression these day's? The drug companies don't have a pill to sell you for sole searching, when they do, they'll go back to calling it that.
You are 17, you are suppose to be doing this, spending time alone with your thoughts is a good thing, don't let them convince you otherwise. We are not meant to be happy all the time, so don't fall into that. We are meant to feel all the feeling we have and we are meant to learn to cope with them. Should this get to a debilitating stage, where you can not function, you probably have let it go too far. So if it gets to the point where you feel it is getting in the way of you living your life, seek help then. But until then, do what you want to do, you want to be alone, be alone, for some reason your mind wants this, find out why. Please consider reading my column, you'd be surprised how often this question is asked in one way or another. There are other things there that may help you too.
be well good miss

Mental illness doesn't need to be hereditary and seldom is. It can affect anyone and I'm proof enough of that. The feelings you describe especially of feeling alone and disconnected from the world need immediate attention.
Document them in a journal and go in detail about how they make you feel. Talk to your mother immediately about them and use what you have written down to back it up and take to the emergency room to show the psychiatrist there.
I feel you need to be accessed at an emergency room as the thoughts you are having aren't normal and can be dangerous. You may be depressed but it could be more. If these thoughts and moods fluctuate it could be a symptom of bipolar disorder.
This is definitely an emergency situation where you tell your parents and go to a hospital. The doctor will then make an assessment and treat your illness. Usually it will be with medication. Don't be scared thy only keep you 72 hours if they think you can get hurt or be a threat to your own self. That's not an issue.
But yes do look into this as it's about your mental health. There's enough presented here to take it very seriously and seek help. It's not about a lack of a BF or good friends though it factors in but about your dark thinking and thoughts. It ain't normal.
