Question: My depression's coming in waves i can't stand it. i just want to die sometimes then im all sunshines the next..?
well i have depression... then i don't... then i do.. then i DON'T! i can't live like this, i will be really fine and dandy min sec then the next someone will forget to say bye on msn or something stupid like that and i start feeling depressed then i start thinking about other things and it snowballs in my mind and end up wishing i was dead. THAT MAKES NO SENSE!
and i find myself not able to tell people because i ether don't trust them (i've been screwed over by my friends to many times to count) or i think they will think much less of me or they have to much on there own plate and i don't want to burden them with my crap.
so i want to know whats wrong with me that makes me just fall to bits so easy and also how i can i help it without seeing a doctor or a counselor. i really really don't want my percents to know, im not very close with them, and i don't think ether of them would care anyway they have got to much stress from work to care and they would just think "you have problems.? wait until your older then talk to me".
so what do i do.? i feel so dumb i just fall apart so easy.

Answers:
how old are you, first off.? because truthfully, in your teenage years, your brain processes emotions and functions differently then when you are a child or a grown adult. it can be very hard to handle stress or situations that older people deem "simple." so if you are a teen, know that your brain is playing a big part in how you deal with these emotions. second, it kind of sounds like you may be bi-polar, not just depressed. or you may be on the lower end of the bi-polar scale and have a condition called cyclothymia, where you swing from manic, energetic moods into deep, dark moods. and theses swings can happen rapidly or over the course of several days. there are definitely people out there who can help you and who want to help you with things like this. there are many free counseling services available; contact your local health department and they can point you in the right direction. also, find someone you trust, an older friend, cousin, aunt, uncle--someone who you know will listen--and talk to them about your feelings. they can help get you help, you know.? don't let these moods get the better of you--learn how to control them. i did--and i still suffer sometimes, but i'm confident about my ability to get through these emotions now, because i got help in handling them. best of luck!Health Question & Answer

Sounds like bipolar disorder. Or just raging hormones. If you're young, this may simply even itself out. But if you're constantly actually having suicidal thoughts, it wouldn't hurt you to go talk to a therapist and get some professional input and resolution.Health Question & Answer

Have you been diagnosed with depression.? It sounds to me like you might have bipolar disorder. Do you take any medication.? I would suggest talking to your doctor before the symptoms you are experiencing get worse.Health Question & Answer

I've had depression for quite some time now. And I've always had it in waves like this. I wasn't diagnosed with Bipolar, because my highs and sunshine-moments never lasted long enough (a day or two at the most) but it was like a much shorter cycle of it.
You sound like you're suffering from depression with symptoms such as small things making you so unhappy, and all of the over-analysing and wanting to be dead. Being really happy some of the time could be accounted for by the simple fact you're a naturally happy person, and very emotional and volatile from the depression. Just because you're depressed doesn't mean you have to be suicidal and miserable 24 hours of the day, 7 days a week. I have quite good days, I have days where I'm flat and unhappy and tired and irritable, and then I have the days where I'm worse than many of the people around me can imagine. It's just that the latter two types come much more often than to first type.
Enjoy the good moments, and when the bad moments come, just do what you can, and try not to blame yourself too much.
I'd reccommend talking to a doctor about it, but you might not want to do that.?
Message me if you want.
All the best.Health Question & Answer

Hey I feel ya,
I know exactly what you mean and I've been this way for 2 years and I still am, and I haven't seen a doctor yet.
Even I don't know what's going on I just have some useful tips;
-do NOT listen to sad music/ songs that remind you of some bad memories.
-Try to have people around you all the time, the more lonely you are, the more you think about little problems. BUT, you don't need friends to tell them that you feel depressed you need them to keep you busy.
-everytime you feel sad for no good reason try to remind yourself that before you know it, you've gotten old and will regret all the days that you wasted being unhappy and sad and at that point, there is nothing to do.

-I'm telling you these tips by my experiences but even me sometimes I don't know if I can live like this and I decide to go to a councellor but the next day I'm ALL FINE and i'm like, screw the councellor.

I'm just 20, and you must be young too..so I think it's just an age thing.hopefully things will be better as we grow up .:)
Wish you all the bestHealth Question & Answer

You are not a "half depressed idiot"! You are just depressed, and it is not your fault. You do not have to tell your friends, but you should tell your parents, and seek out a doctor. But first understand what's going on with yourself. Depression is not something you can control. It is an illness just like a physical one, only it affects your brain. Your brain produces chemicals that makes you happy - one of them is Serotonin. When you become depressed, all it means is that your levels of Serotonin have dropped to a low level, and thus your thoughts become strange and scary and you don't feel like yourself, and may even have little desire to go on. Your problem is probably compounded by the fact that you feel your parents wouldn't support you - it may be true that they may not understand the nature of your illness or how "real" it is. In either case, you will probably need medication to control your depression, and for that you will definitely need a doctor (preferably one who specializes in this). Do not be afraid to see a doctor - it is crucial that you do as it may be the only way to get you to feel better. Take comfort in the fact that doctors see tons of patients with the exact same problem. No doctor will think it's unusual or "wasting time" - they have seen this a zillion times before, and know how debilitating depression can be. A doctor can help you!Health Question & Answer
