PLEASE answer. I really want to know what's wrong with me?

Question

I'm 15 and for a while I've been feeling low. I'm very angry and sad all the time and I kinda feel like I don't care about anything or anyone, and I'm lonely but I don't care. I just want to throw everything out the window. And I'm always tired but anxious. I also feel guilty, but I don't even know why.

What's up with me and what can I do about this? Is this just normal teenage stuff? It's been going on for a while... though I do know some possible underlying causes in my life.

Do you think I have depression or something? I have noticed changes in the things I like, and I don't really feel like hanging out with or talking to friends lately.

Answer 1

You might be depressed.  Talk to an adult you can trust about it.  Maybe they can get you some help.

Answer 2

What you are going through is the definition of depression.  Depression can take on all kinds of forms, but being a 15 year old teenager, you are also going through a lot of changes also.  I would tell you to go to a doctor and see if the prescriptions he gives to you can help a little.  If there is no change after at least three weeks of taking the medication, you may want to consult a psychologist.  Depression can just be a phase or it may be a chemical imbalance.  It is a serious issue that needs to be dealt with by professionals.  Just don't give up!!!!!!  A lot of people throughout the world suffer from this so just know you are not alone.

Answer 3

Sounds like you are down in the dumps. If it is true depression, it would have to go on for a few weeks straight.

Have you tried anything to feel better ?

Excersise,reading, dancing, playing with a pet, going to the movies or watching funny movies at home ?

As a teen we all go through phases where we just want to be alone and not deal with anything, heck even us adults feel that way too from time to time.

So see if you can pull yourself out of it with distractions and positive thinking, and if you can't then you may need to talk to an adult or see your doctor.

Best wishes :)

Answer 4

Everything that you just wrote can be said to a person that can listen to you. I suggest you do just that.  

Answer 5

you are depressed which is one phase teenagers can go through. you need to vent and one way is by doing something that make you feel good like sports or art or games. stuff like that try it and see how it goes, maybe getting a job, volunteer or paid might help. yoga or meditation  can calm you and feel at peace.

never EVER turn to drugs or alcohol that never works it makes life a whole lot harder for you

Answer 6

Ya know how almost every adult would say they hated being teens? Welcome to growing up. As teens were always known as moody and lil punks and whatnot. The reason behind this is because our bodies are being flooded with hormones and other stuff as we grow older and such. It'll get better, maybe not today or tomorrow but it would will get better. It always does. Keep your head up!  

Answer 7

I think your feelings are normal (just not very pleasant!). You do sound depressed, and I would advise consulting with a mental health professional who can help you manage your depression with psychotherapy and/or medication.

Answer 9

Its called being a teenager. Suck it up and make yourself have a better outlook on life.  

Answer 10

Well, part of it probably is normal teenage stuff. There is no denying the teenage years are awkward, sometimes painful, and a pain to go through! Some of the things you say make me think you do have depression, but I'm not a doctor or counselor, so I can't give you a diagnosis.

I would say get lots of exercise. exercise releases endorphins, the "feel good" chemicals in the brain. Sometimes that's all it takes for some people to get through mild depression. Even if you just go for a walk for half an hour a day, it can help. That also gives you some time alone just to think. i find that helps me when i'm going through hard times, to just walk and think and be able to figure things out.

Good luck, I hope you figure it out.

Answer 11

i feel the same way.. sorry can't help u there

Answer 12

Don't worry I'm thinking it's probably just hormones. I've read some books on this and this is common with teenager especially if they have they're period at the time this is happening. You just may have some horrible-mones (idk my dad made it up hahah) going on.

If it persists consult your doctor, if you have sudden changing moods it may be bipolar.

hope this helps

Answer 13

Katie,

You are a normal 15 yr old going through the emotional turmoil that is being a teenager. From about 13 to 21 you will be a ball of nerves, emotions, up and down feelings, and questions.

Get involved in your community, get a job, talk to your parents or a counselor.  Get out and help a neighbor with thier yard, or go for a bike ride. Any or all of the above can help you to keep you from dwelling on and wallowing in negative emotions and feelings.

You will probably grow out of it, but if you do feel suicidal please talk to someone, even if you would never actually go through with killing your self, it is not healthy to keep that kind of stuff bottled up. It can lead to cutting and severe depression. I was there once too. It took me a long time to really change my negative thinking. And figure out how to manage my depression.  I am 42 now, and sometimes I still have some bad days. I have some bad scars where I used to cut myself.  

You can feel better, just dont give up.

=)

Answer 14

maby something is bothering you talk to your parents or a guidance canceler and write down your feelings in a diary and hug a Teddy bear or stuffed animal that you like and if your really mad punch your pillow but do not hurt anyone!!!!

Answer 15

It does sound like depression. At 15 you are going through a lot of changes, which is probably making your depression even worse.

You really need to talk to someone that you trust. Whatever underlying causes in your life that you think may be causing this, have to be faced and dealt with, and put behind you.

Life is too short to be miserable. You just have to get past all of this and enjoy your life.

Best Wishes To You

Answer 16

every teenager goes through this im 16 and i'm going through this, you feel so alone and not wanted its not a nice feeling. you just can't give up. no matter how bad things are now they will make you stronger as a person and things will get better. the thing is you need to still go out with your friends if you lose them it will get worse.

go out with your friends every weekend for a day, also you do need to talk to people, if you don't your just making it more harder on yourself. if you do need to talk about your problems, please do e-mail me i'll help if i can.

you feel guilty because you've let this happen to yourself its understandable teenage years are so hard, body changes, peer pressure and also for girls the pressure to look amazing (basically be fake people). you've just got to take it. your an amazing person, just listen to your music and try and do something you like everyday and hopefully things will get better for you.

also this is common for people that find it hard to fit in, this could be anything from being the only one in a group who hasn't kissed a boy or had a boyfriend even be the only one who likes a different style of music to the rest of the people you go with.

there is so many people that are feeling what you are feeling now. just believe in yourself and respect yourself and you'll slowly get more happy. if you have the time and money maybe a dog would help. I know i spend hours with my dog when i feel down he always makes me happy and also dogs don't stab you in the back.

you need to find something you love, (this could be a dog or a person, family maybe) do something for them what makes them feel happy then when you see them smile you'll feel a bit better :)

the small things make a huge difference :)

Good Luck

ever need to talk, just e-mail me :)
