Do you have any information on depression/am I depressed?!
Question: Do you have any information on depression/am I depressed.?
I've felt down and blue for like 3 weeks now and I can't sleep, I wont eat anything, so when I force myself to, I vomit it back up later, nothings fun anymore, I can't seattle myself down to concentrate on reading or anything, one minute I'll be so happy and bouncy off the walls and the next so sad and mad at the world. I've tried talking to my friends but they don't understand, one of them is like i know how you feel, you'll get over it, and the other one who is really close to me is blaming herself for my feelings but we've worked some things out. I can't talk to my boyfriend, I love him and all but it's so hard to talk to him at times. I can't talk to my mom, that's a very bad thing i know, but I feel so different from her. I can't talk to a counselor at school, shes like so mean to me, I don't understand why. I know its not a good thing to be 12 years old and depressed like, but its killing me, I'm finding the urge to waste my life or hurt myself, but I know I couldn't. Thanks for reading and trying to help the helpless.Health Question & Answer

I think it's called puberty. I guess I felt the same way for years and finally (at the age of 24) I found an outsource that calmed my nerves and gave me reason. I started playing music. I found that you can express your feelings through an instrument that heals better than any counselor ever has.Health Question & Answer

It definitely sounds like ur depressed. i know ur probably not gonna want to do this, but therapy really helps. Relying on pills and anti-depressants is unreliable. tell ur parents u want to see a therapist and that should help a lot.Health Question & Answer
Well you are definitely not helpless dear. It sounds like you may have bi polar disorder, you say that you have a serious high, meaning you are very hyper, can't calm down, have a hard time concentrating, and then you have serious lows, feeling of self doubt, feeling like no one cares, crying. These are just some of the symptoms of Bipolar disorder, it is not uncommon for adolescents to suffer from it. I know you don't feel as if you can talk to your mother, but you need to let her know that you would like to go and see a councilor, tell her you are feeling really down and you just don't feel right. I know how it is, I started having panic attacks at the age of 7, so I had to talk with my mom, it was hard but she understood, and yours will too. I really hope this helps hun, and really talk to your mom you don't have to tell her everything just enough to let her know you need to talk with someone. I am 23 now and if I wouldn't have talked with my mom I would probably still be having problems. Good luck hun.Health Question & Answer
what ever you do, do not start taking pills! Do not go to a psychiatrist! A therapist might be helpful for you but there is a big difference between these two. Talking to someone might help, but at 12 years old you are way too young to start taking drugs. You should get more exercise, I realize it sounds like a stupid thing that want help but it will. It is hard to make yourself go, but working up a real sweat somehow triggers chemicals in your brain and you stop feeling so depressed.
Good luck! Hang in there!Health Question & Answer

that does sound like clinical depression.
but the sometimes happy and bouncing off walls suggests manic-depression, now called bi-polar.
you need a doc or a psychiatrist who will help - preferably one who specializes in treating children with depression.
I have been there, clinical depression is awful for anyone, but it is really really rough on a kid.
this won't cure you or anything, but it may make you feel less alone:

Yea u r depressed. There's many reasons why too. At 12 ur feelings are sensitive. Go be a lot of stress,could be a past trama,becoming a teen and the changes you go thru. Who knows. But u should really talk to your mom. If u don't like the school consouler tell ur mom to take u to one away from school. Can't tell her.?tell a teacher that u want to see a differt counsoler. And u will get over it. Studies show even the severe depressed people will get better on their own without meds within 8 months. But there's meds that u can get that will make u forget the depression. Don't hurt urself u r so young. Whole life ahead sweetie. Suicide is a permanant solution to a temporary problem. Tell someone if u r thinking that way. Email me or message me if u need someone to talk too. I'm always on. God Bless. Health Question & Answer
