I think i might be be mentally depressed....?

Question

I am a young teenager and i think that i am depressed. I already go to a therapist but they dont help at all. I have read alot of articles and i fit most of the symptoms and i am very worried. I have notice a loss of my appitiete, i never fell like eating when ym mother makes me food and always say i will eat it later but i never do. About a month ago i was tired all the time and now it takes me at least 2 hours to fall asleep. I have had thought of eanding my life and hurting myself but i never have the "guts" to do it. Also i have cried and been more aggrivated lately. And not wanting to socialize with alot of people. I do not know what i should do. I dont know what to say to my mom because i know that she will just think i am going through a fase or im just overtired or something but i know its something more then that. What should i do?

Answer 1

Well, you can't be physically depressed...

On a less sarcastic note, since you're already seeing a shrink, maybe you could ask your parents if you could get a better one.  And as for your sister, why don't you tell her to f*ck off?

Answer 2

That's not cool.  The less you eat the worse you will feel, that I know...But it's hard to eat when you're so upset.  A lot of people are going through this at the same time as you...i don't know if that helps.  All that helps me is when I do nice things for other people.  Put a smile on their face.  "Assist those who are weak...there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving" -  Acts 20:35

Answer 3

Your parents separation will have something to do with it, as does your abusive sister, however your therapist should have already sorted this out for you unless they are useless... then see another therapist and get the proper treatment.
