I am 15 years old.
Here are the symptoms of Teen Depression that I think I have:
-Apathy
-Complaints of pain such as headaches, back pain and fatigue
-Difficulty concentrating
-Difficulty making decisions
-Guilt
-Memory loss
-Sadness, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness
-Withdrawal from friends/family
-Anger
-I am EASILY bored
-Loneliness
-Loss of interest in hobbies and activities, no passion for anything
-Loss of imagination, creativity
-Incapability of expressing emotions
-Decreased energy
-Restlessness, sometimes difficulty sleeping
-I don't get excited about things anymore
-Social problems, such as talking to people at my youth group and keeping a conversation with then. also applys with my friends.
-Empty feeling
-Jealousy
It's easy for me to act happy when I'm with my friends, but there's always that sadness, or that I AM happy, but it doesn't last long.
I'm home-schooled, so I only get to see my friends 2 days a week, sometimes more. I get extremely bored at home, and feel tired all the time. I end up just not even trying to do anything, and going on the computer or watching TV.
I also have become very self conscious of how I look, because I HATE being skinny.
I'm sorry this is long, but if you have experienced/experience something like this or know anything about depression PLEASE ANSWER, I can't take feeling like this anymore.
Thank-you.
Yeah that sounds like deppression I had it for the past 3 years and just recently got over it. But also if you dont exercise enough you can feel drained and restless. you should really get it checked out and dont wait to long like i did to the point of contemplating suicide.
So here's my opinion:
Everything you said sounds like the normal teenage years. In my opinion, society expects people to be always happy and everything, and they call you depressed and stick you on medication when you're not. I'm 15 and have a lot of the symptoms of teen depression, but I'm not depressed. I'm just a teenager.
However, if it's getting to the point where you're having suicidal thoughts, you should talk to someone. you really don't want to go on medication if you can avoid it. you don't see a lot of 50-year-olds who've been on medication all their life and are still alive.
I'd say, myself, to make sure you're getting enough sleep (8+ hours) and eating well. Get outside and go for a bike ride or a walk. Listen to music, take a nap. Don't sit around and wallow in your own self pity.
You are in charge of yourself.
Oh goodness. I feel for you...I too went through the same thing at your age. I hated myself and others at your age. please look at yourself in the mirror and say ten times every single day I AM BEAUTIFUL< I LOVE MYSELF...and for me that worked. Remember you are beautiful and these times will pass. GOOD LUCK IN ALL YOU DO and remember you are not alone!
Could just be teen depression but don't just say hey its normal because you can feel a lot better once you start talking to someone like a school counselor.Tip when you go to the counselor and tell them whats wrong its okay to cry because when I tell people I feel like crying and I just keep it in but its not good so I need to talk to someone about that.
I remember there were times before where I had been happy and then suddenly I would get this feeling of depression. But that was a long time a go. Now I have to deal with anxiety and a small place of depression. I can only imagine how you feel especially with being home schooled. I think you should talk to your parents about your feelings. Good luck.
you may be overwhelmed with stress and the hormones are raging at your age.
you sound depressed. i am hoping you can talk to your mum and see a doc for diagnosis and treatment.
Could I have depression? PLEASE HELP?

In this case, "a long time" should be translated as "zutto"
I waited for a long time. = watashi ha ZUTTO matte ita.
Hope that helps you (o^-^o)
When your heart no longer feels compelled to wait for *whatever* it's waiting for ... it's been a damned long time.
