I think im depressed and not sure what to do!?

Question

ok well, ive taken some of those online like "screening" for depression things, and all of them tell me to seek help. and ive noticed that ive been feeling this way since 5th grade,(im a sophomore this year) and in 4th grade i was really smart in school and 5th grade is when my report card got completly loaded with C's and that is when i started to have a different outlook on life, and since then i have thoughts of suicide normally at least a couple times a day and i can never believe that i have friends, even though i know i do, and i can never believe that anyone likes me, i told my friend last week and she said that she never expected me to be a depressed person so im guessing ive done a good job at hiding it, so i want to know what i can do besides see shrinks and tell my parents (i dont want to tell them) about it, like should i talk with friends and stuff, or just keep it bottled up and plus i know imnever going to have the balls to off myself but i cant get rid of the thoughts

Answer 1

Go to a doctor. Tell your parents

You sound depressed. A doctor will help you and prescribe a depression drug or seeing a counsellor could help as well

Answer 2

hun, no one on here can help you even 2 % as much as a doctor and your parents could, I seriously think you should talk to your school counselor first, tell him/her about all the stuff you feel ask her if she can call your parents and talk to them not you, then schedule a doctors apointment, talk to your doc, tell him everything, seriously, depressoin is an illness not just a feeling, you really need to seek help and support on this, it could get worse without treatment

Answer 3

Here, I'll save you 2 hours a week and your parents $2400 a month.

Get up every morning 30 minutes before the sun rises and run towards the east until it is up, then turn around and run home.  Don't drink carbonated beverages, go to bed so that you can sleep for 8 hrs before getting up.

You will no longer feel depressed.  You will feel tired at first, but later, that goes away.   You will eventually find new energy, and new ideas that will allow you to make your mark on the world!

Answer 4

go see school consul

Answer 5

You need to talk to someone you trust. Bottom line!

Answer 6

Talk to a friend that you trust, also I would advice you to tell your family too, they can help you. You should see a real theraphyst and he would be able to say if you really are depressed, and if you are he can help you get over it.

Answer 7

Answer 8

well,

first u have to have a reason y ur depreased.

Answer 9

you need to let your parents know. The reason you cannot think of a reason for your depression is because there is not an external reason...it is a chemical imbalance.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression my senior year of HS. If I think back, I can trace it back to 7th or 8th grade. Just because you do not sit there sobbing all the time does not mean you are not depressed. I was very happy on the outside, but I could not get enough sleep, EVER. There were times that I could sleep all evening, all nite and still fall asleep in like 2 or 3 of my classes. I got medicated and it was a lot easier to cope with life. I have been on and off meds for 15 years now. I am currently on meds for the 3rd time. I had a rough summer last summer and an even rougher fall. By February or march even my own mother told me that I was cranky and overreacting to little things. I got medicated and within a week or so I was feeling much better. I have not really gotten uncontrollably upset at my family in months

Answer 11

i was depressed in my 9th grade year and i lost alot of my friends because of it, i didn't tell anybody i wanted to kill myself but my friend noticed and she would help me see the upper side of things and eventually got though it, talk to someone, e-mail me if anything

=D

Answer 12

u should fine ways to express ur emotions.let out ur feelings somehow.be creative,thats on ur part.it would logically be healthy for u to see a therapist.what helped me was to really connect with friends.theyre ur friends so they trust u, its just on u to trust them.i will tell u do NOT bottle it up.its soo unhealthy and u will become so untouch with reality and in ur own world.you'll just go on as you have been these past years.if u ever wanna talk lemme know
