I'm a sophomore in high school, and this summer, i moved half-way across the country on a very short notice.
Since i moved, it seems to be getting harder and harder to get through the day, and every day just seems pointless.
I'm a dancer, and I've always loved to dance, and it has always helped me cheer up when I'm in a bad mood. But lately, it just seems like one more task I have to do, and it's not fun anymore. I've considered quitting before, but I've stuck with it, because I know that I will probably regret quitting in the long run.
I've gotten a lot of bad news and rejection since I moved and it only seems to worsen my situation.
Of course, it also doesn't help that I go to a school that is completely different than what I'm used to. I have the opportunity to make a lot of new friends there, because there are lots of people who know me, but I tend to shy away, and not have any interest in them. Every one at my school seems completely fake to me, and not someone I want to make friends with.
I've taken multiple online quizzes on depression, and all of them have said that I have symptoms of clinical depression. I know that those aren't completely reliable, but I just want to figure out as much as I can.
I've just been completely hopeless and uninterested since we moved here, 7 months ago, and nothing seems to be getting better. if anything, it's just gotten harder and harder.
Does this sound like clinical depression?
Please help
P.S: I've never been like this before. I've always had lots of friends, and I've always had an interest in the extra curricular things I do.
im a sophomore in high school also and i have been diagnosed and medicated for depression. I can also relate to a lot of the feelngs that you have been having. I do think that what you are discribing sounds a lot like depression. But my best advice to you is to go to ur doctor, just like the family doctor, and tell him or her what you are feeling. the doctor can have your parents leave you alone if you want to talk in private. if your doctor is concerned they might either choose to medicate you or reffer you to either a psychiatrist who can talk to you and find the right medication or to a nurse practitioner who can do almost the same thing.

Depression, or just a typical teenager?
