You are not depressed. Sometimes people are just low. For instance, there are days when I am like this too. You just need to be positive. Have you read The Secret by Rhonda Bryne? It really helps you getting a perspective about such things.
And don't worry everything will get back on track!:)
You can't lose your friends They'll always come back as all of them are always worried about thier friends i.e. you!:)
Just relax. And don't try to be so isolated. Take up something that will occupy you. Like my friend has started painting tee's as a distraction!

Dear Deppression,
Lately, i've seen a lot of people talk about this issue. Deppression is a big deal, but i don't beleive you have it. It's actually caused in the brain. Yes, it is a medical condition. Listen to this peice of advice: live now. See, you won't ever get this life back, so do outside the box things, branch out and put a lot of effort into your appearance and the way you do things, this will make you feel better about your life, find a favorite song, if you can, go clubbing with your friends. go shopping! get a new haircut! just try to live your life now while you can!!!

Hi, I'm probably old enough to be your grandfather. While none of us can actually diagnose a problem; I'm hoping that the wisdom of my age and the fact that I battle depression myself will be helpful.
I can tell you that you have listed several of the symptoms of depressions. The biggest one of course is the thought of hurting yourself.
The most common form of depression is what I call chemical depression. It is when one of two enzymes in the brain fail to secrete enough to ward of depression, hence the term chemical depression. The lack of one or both of these chemicals and other stressors bring on depression.
The good news is it is easily treatable and is the most common form of depression. The first thing you need to do is see your family doctor and be screened for depression. You can also be screened by your High School Guidance Office if you are still in school. Preferably and it is easier to get your family doctor to screen you. You family doctor will also want to perform a full physical just to rule out any other reasons for why you feel this way.
If after screening it is found you are suffering from depression your doctor should refer you to a psychiatrist. No you're not crazy. Since these enzymes react in the brain a psychiatrist is the best,medical, doctor to treat this condition. You will also be referred to a therapist for talk therapy. This is to help you find out what the other stressors are that might be causing this problem and help you deal with them.
You should make an appointment with your doctor ASAP, stress to the appointment person that this is an emergency situation.
If before you can see your doctor you feel as if you are going to hurt yourself call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
If you are over 13 you do not need parental permission to see a doctor; though I would urge you to tell you parents how you are feeling and let them help you.

actually depression is one of the most mis-diagnosed mental disorder. No one on here can tell you if you are or not.
You could easily just be in a slump. I can understand on the friends part, me and my best friend are no longer talking and I have been veryy upset bc of it. The best thing for me was to find new friends. It might be hard but its really the only way.
No longer talking to your ex can be a good or bad thing. If the relationship wasn't healthy then its most deff. a good thing to no longer be talking.
But if you feel it was a good thing then its going to take some time to get used to "not talking to him." the best way to not think about him is to be busy with friends. Take up a hobby, start working out your anger.
honestly, if you have even thoughts about hurting yourself, you need to seek help. from a teacher, family member, someone. I know we all can't afford to go to a doctor once a week for a life time, so someone you trust can be just as good. Just talking to someone will make you feel sooo much better!!
best of luck<3
