Depression...Please help?

Question

I am a sophomore in HS and for the past year or so I have started to get really depressed and sad. I am pretty quite and shy, which I have been all my life. My old best friend is now a football star who gets all the chicks and doesn't even acknowledge me if i pass him in the hall or anything. When I am around my parents it just makes more depressed for some reason. They argue a lot and they try to say things to make me happy but it just makes me feel like a bigger loser if my parents are the last resort to make me happy. My biggest role model is my grandad and he always seems to cheer me up. I know he doesn't have many years left and I don't know what I will do when he passes on. I also look up to my sister and her boyfriend who were very popular in high school but are going off to college which means I will be stuck in this house with my parents. I do have some friends but it is just not the same as it used to be in Elem. & Middle School. I feel like I will end up being an anti-social 35-year old with no friends or girlfriend and whose family has cut ties with. It feels like I have a lot of pressure to be popular & everything, I also think that I care too much about what other people think of me. I wish I could just go back and start my life over. I know that if I keep being depressed and thinking like this then I will go nowhere. But I just can't get my brain to stop. I don't know if I am going crazy or what but I don't know who I am anymore. I just want to be happy like used to be. If you have any suggestions please reply.

You need to talk it out with someone you can trust. Make some new friends. Have faith in God. If you believe everything can work out for best the it is possible.  

Answer 3

You should tell your granddad or your parents what you just typed. Seriously. I'm 25 now and was very depressed and anxious in high school and really wish I had asked for help at that time and worked it out at a young age before it got worse. It's nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about.

Just worry about now.  High School does not really have an impact socially as to where you will be when you get out of high school.  If you think you truly have depression then see a doctor.
