Am I depressed???? I need to know.

Question

Am I? I feel uninterested in everything. I put on an act for everyone so they'll think that I'm not. Some days when something really good happens I'll feel happy but mostly not. I have been sleeping a lot and recently its been not enough sleep. All I want to do is laze around but my friends always want to do something and to keep my cover I need to do it. At first I didn't eat a lot now I just want to have junk food whenever I'm hungry and that happens a lot. I don't cry cause I never really cried when I wasn't going through this. Everything seems pointless. Sometimes its hard to breathe and my heart hurts a lot. Like real physical pain. I have thought about cutting myself but I don't have anything to cover it up with and I admit that I'm scared to do it. I have never really liked knifes. And don't lecture me on anything...I will get help cause my parents won't let me go away to school if I am. (I am going to a "boarding" school for high school) Am I depressed? I really want to know.

Answer 3

Your symptoms sound like those of depression. I was similar at college and it just kept eating away at me all the time unless I was concentrating on other things.

I'm fine now, though I DID talk to people. Good luck.

Answer 4

It sounds like you're a little depressed.  The worst part of depression is the feeling of everything being pointless.  If you're feeling that very strongly, you should go see your doctor.  Even just your normal Primary Care Physician will be able to ask you certain questions and determine if you need to see a counselor, be on medication, or both.

Answer 5
