Illness,Depression or Simply Loss of Emotions...
16yrs old , turning 17 on september 20...am a boy...recently, I been hating my life, I wake up every morning with that feeling inside like I don't want to wake everything is s*it , everybody s*cks like the whole world n' life is useless, I hate school and am DISGUSTED from waking up so much early just to attend it, my mom wakes me up 6am and I barely sleep at night because of this, I don't know if I lost my emotions , but I think I didn't lose them , because I still can feel one thing "hopelessness or sadness" that one feeling inside you which gets you sickened and want to rip somebody's head off or kill everyone or even never want to wake up!
My question is ummm ... Is this just a teenage stage of my life that I'm passing through or is it depression that I'm having?
PS because of this I sometimes lose my faith and cuss my religion and hate everyone even my own self and girlfriend but I don't show it , but I feel ALL of this inside me! Like HELP ! Help me know what I'm in!

At one time this was considered a phase teenagers went through. It was back when your parents and grandparents before them felt as you do that their parents would say; "oh it's just a phase he/she will grow out of."
Today doctors know different and even have a name for how you are feeling. It is called "teenage depression." It is brought on by a number of different stressors teenagers are under that in a manner of speaking sometimes overwhelm a person. This is what clinical depression is all about. You are not crazy or suffering from some mental illness.
The problem is actually medical but because it is a problem created by a lack of one or two hormones not being secreted into your brain in enough quantity,to help you maintain a proper balance; you get depressed.
Because the chemicals or hormones are secreted into the brain; the best doctor to treat you medically is a Board Certified psychiatrist. They know much more about what medications work best then do you family doctor. Medication and a talk therapist usually help you clear the depression as the therapist will help you identify the stressors and deal with them more appropriately
Most people suffer some form of depression all the time but have enough of these hormones to keep themselves in balance. This is an easy look at the problem.
Diagnoses of clinical depression is simple and painless. Make an appointment with your family doctor. You are old enough that you do not need parental permission to do so. Tell the doctor how you feel and asked to be screened for depression. The doctor will ask you a number of questions. From these questions the doctor can determine just how depressed you may be. The doctor may also want to do a physical and blood tests just to rule out any organic causes. Let the doctor do so.
Do not be embarrassed by the label. Most all of us suffer some form of clinical depression at some point in our lives and most go undiagnosed an untreated.
As I said at one point before doctor knew better what you may be suffering was called a phase. We know know it is not and the doctors can help you. So make an appointment to see you family doctor. That's the first step.
