Am i depressed or just sad ?

Question

i feel sad most of the time and i argue with my sister more than what i used to.

i have fallen out with my two best friends.

i have had thoughts about death and what would happen if i died.

during the day i just stay in my room and hardly come out of it.

i dont want to eat anymore.

sometimes i feel so sad i feel ill.

i feel like crying a lot of the time but its almost like i cant cry.

there is nothing in my life which should make me feel like this.

my parents got divorced last year, i knew it was going to happen because they hardly ever spoke to each other.

i should be happy now but im not. and i dont know why. there is no reason for this.

i also feel guilty and that everything is my fault.

what is wrong with me?

Answer 1

You are depressed and it is probably as a direct result of your parents divorce. I would suggest going to your GP and speaking to him/her about it. I suspect that you are still living with your mother - have you tried talking to her about how you feel?

Have a look through the links below for help with dealing with depression. Remember it's not the end of the world.

Answer 2

There is one disease called hypochondria. I think you are suffering from that disease.

The persons suffering from hypochondria always have a fear that they have some kind of serious illness. Whereas in actual practice there will not be anything wrong with them. It is a kind of self made  that too ready  made. There is apparently nothing wrong with them.

They do not have proper aim. They do not have proper enthusiasm. They do not have proper goal. They do not have a vision. They do not have proper direction. They do not channelize their potential strength towards  any purposeful work. There is nobody to motivate them. They do not know how to increase their character and develop their personality. Above all such people may not be having proper time schedule for Time Management. Most of their time may be squandered by wishful thinking or brooding over things which are worthless.

God has given us enough based on our merit. What we deserve we get. God knows what to give and when to give. We do not enjoy with whatever God has given us already. We go on dreaming about things which we do not possess.

Answer 3

yep, depression in deed.

Answer 4

I can't tell but i suffered from a depression before. I think there are different kinds of depression(Not sure of it). But i suffered from a Chronic Depression. I only knew that i was depress when i read an article in readers digest. I can only advice you to seek and be informed of depression.

It's a very difficult situation to handle but you must never lose hope. You never know what your looking for maybe tomorrow , today or maybe just a  second away. Anyway i hope you can resolve this situation. Remember never lose hope.  

Answer 5

From my medical and personal point of view hun, it sounds like you have a mild depression. Because of the things that have been happening that are bad in your life you have been in a constant state of sadness. This can alter the chemicals in the brain which moderate and control our 'feelings'. The main is, that you are allowing everything to get on top of you. I have been there when i was younger, everyone has. Also, this issue of guilt, this is sub-consciously the whole problem. This is what is bothering you all the time, Honey, when parents split it is never the kids fault, sometimes things happen and they have to leave each other. Feeling so sad all the time will make you feel ill, it can cause many symptoms including - Headache, tummy ache, aches and pains, been sick, anxiety and panic attacks. The best advice i can give is to buy yourself a diary, a personal one that only you know about and write in it all the things you like about yourself, and what you are really good at in life. And every time you feel sad, look at it and reming yourself why you are such a good person. Life is a learning curve, and sometimes it feels like everything bad happens at once, but you have to keep a smile and keep going. Everything bad, teaches us a good lesson. As for the feelings of death, dont ever think like that. We are all put here for a reason, work towards a career where you think you would make a difference, and work towards helping people in life. Also, think of ways you can make it upto your best friends. . . and when parents split up, it isnt always bad, mine have done too and i still see them seperately and i love them both. Take care hun, email me if you need anything else xx

Best put your coat on and get out in the fresh air, Take a look at the the birds and the bees and everything nice. You maybe should call and see your doc as well cos they'll be able to help. Get in touch with your best friends and tell them how you're feeling. If they are best friends then they will help as well.

Good luck

Answer 7

You've got a dose of depression.  Get to the doctors and get some help.  Sometimes depression can be a sign that you have a medical problem - ie, thyroid.  Go and get it sorted out now and you should soon be feeling a bit better.

Answer 8

You have signs of depression.

And you need help. You need to see somebody. This doesn't mean you are to confront your mother or father because I know you probably won't want to. It may be best to see a school counsellor who you can talk to.

It's a shame you've lost your friends because sometimes thats who you are going to need the most in this sort of situation and losing them is only making it worse.

Answer 9

sounds like depression a trip to your doctor would be a good idea.you dont say how old you are and even if you were expecting your parents to divorce, it is still a life changing experience for you.

Answer 10

Sounds like you are depressed. But I am no doctor, you should see someone, your local GP should be able to help, or pass you on to someone who can. Depression is just a word they use for always being sad. Everyone is sad sometimes, but usually not all the time.

Your parents divorce is not your fault, it never is!!!

You really should speak to a professional.

Also worth considering is that Gluten Intolerance can sometimes cause depression, and so can lack of sleep, though, depression can sometimes cause lack of sleep too.

Good Luck!! Be brave, talk to your parents or someone about it!!!
