Does this mean im depressed?!


Question: Does this mean im depressed.?
Im stuck in the past. Everything has changed in the past year, but last year was the best year EVER it was so much fun everything made sense.
I know that there will always be good times blahblahblah, but I miss those days so much. I get sad whenever I think of them.

I also feel like everything is fake, like theres no way it could be real. Like its all just a dream...
not exactly like derealization, but when I posted a question on it, people said it was a symptom of anxiety.

So whats up with me.?

Answers:
First, ignore the person who told you take Lexapro - it is not safe. The only reason people say it is safe is because it is non-narcotic- which means it does not have a direct effect on your central nervous system - it is not addictive - and it makes you feel like crap - people who take it look like zombies.

Do NOT take: Lexapro, paxil, welbutrin- or anyone other SSRI (selective serotonin re uptake inhibitor)- it leads to more suicides and adverse side-effects than all the narcotic anxiety medications combined.

You seem to have some form of disassociation - I've never heard anything like it. If I had more information such as your age, history with medications, relationship history, etc - I could give you a much better answer.

Avoid medication at all costs - and refuse any of the medications listed above - DO NOT take SSRI's. Some medications you may want to consider are valium, xanex, adavant - as these will relieve your anxiety without disrupting the chemical balance in your brain - with regard to serotonin and dopamine levels. Be careful narcotic medications are habit-forming - so you need to really watch yourself - try not taking it every day - have it there - but only use it as a last resort.

I had a similar problem when I was growing up - and I was prescribed 5mgs of valium twice per day. Did I take them everyday - no - because I knew I would become dependent on the medication - I only used when the symptoms were not tolerable - usually 3-4 times per week - and usually only half the prescribed dosage. Overtime I no longer needed the medication - and I did not develop an addiction - and I didn't destroy the chemical imbalance of my brain by taking SSRI's which are basically handed out like candy in doctor's offices.

Your doctor will offer non-narcotic medications that could alter your brain chemistry forever - its your job to ask for a narcotic - he will try prescribing you lexapro or paxil first - because they are paid by drug companies to overprescribe these horrible medications. Although the good medications have addictive potential - your brain won't be permenently altered - and you won't have any addictions - if you can control the amount of times you medicate yourself.

Or don't medicate and cope with life - that is by far the best way - but with all these pills being thrown at us - it is hard not to take the easy way out. Just please no SSRI's and no serotonin inhibitors - they are incredibly dangerous and overprescribed. Health Question & Answer

Im guessing you just got into highschool
I totally understand what you're going through!
I'm doing the exact same thing. Going through the past, hoe great it was last year, and then i hit highschool.....
it's fun, really, but I feel out of place. Everything's so different now, and I just cant relate. Blow jobs, making out, boyfriends, bad parties, getting high, getting drunk, I feel very out there. It does feel like a dream, because it amazes me what people my age are doing now. The worst part is, all of my friends are doing it too, so there's peer pressure involved.
It's okay. This feeling will eventually pass. Just try to move along, give some of your old friends a call, do things that you used to do and mix it with the new.
You're not depressed, just a bit confused.Health Question & Answer

i can totally relate to your problem. last year was the best for me and my boyfriend. now he doesn't want to date till later. i agree with him. we both have a lot of things we need to work on. but to this day we still are in love with each other. it is really hard. but you have to move on with your life. don't live in the past. you can miss so many things in life. enjoy the things you have now. cause you don't get another chance. live in the moment. don't regret anything!Health Question & Answer

Yeah thats pretty much how I've been feeling for the past year too. It doesn't sound like anxiety to me, but I cant really say cause I'm only 15. But I do have anxiety and thats when you get panic attacks and stuff.

I think you have adjustment disorder. Look at it on wikipedia. I also have that too (with possible depression). It seems to me that you have it.
