I think I may have depression...

[Megzor]

I know I am only 17 and it may seem like a young age to have depression, I am not too sure though. For the past 2 and a half years I have not been happy. There has been some periods where I was happy but it didn't last very long. Something always comes along to make me feel worse and worse. I have had thoughts of suicide, I've had periods where I just cry and cry for weeks, I have a hard time getting out of bed every day, I always have stomach aches and really bad head aches. I was feeling so depressed I quit soccer, where I was training to go to England to play professionally, I stopped hanging out with my friends, all I did was sit in my room and play video games. I get angry all the time, I always yell at my family members. I take my anger out on my boyfriend which is ruining our relationship. I feel like everything is taking a turn for the worst. Nothing has gone right for me in the past 2 and a half years. I lost a whole bunch of weight. I used to weigh 150 and now I weigh 115, I barely eat anymore. I have tried talking to a friend but they don't take me seriously, they think it's just a faze. I try talking to my parents about it but they wont listen and I don't feel comfortable talking to a doctor or anyone else about it and I really don't know what to do. I also don't want to take medication but I have no motivation to do anything else to fix it.

hai , Don't be worried , Self motivation is one which u have get from Yourself.

It does not come from outside.

Cultivate some good hobbies, painting ,or football any thing u like.

You are talented . Get up early in the morning have walk .

Or try Yoga ,the better way of relaxing ,mind and body.

Bee relaxed and calm , to panic or worry . Life is precious. U are not alone so many people in this world have faced and came out of such problems ,and had become great.

Thanks.

Listen to me......You have ALL the classic signs of Depression.  I was diagnosed with cronic Depression 30 years ago.  I attempted suicide twice..almost succeeding the second time. I was actually dead when I arrived at the hospital.  I was revived there.  You MUST find a way to talk to a doctor.  You are playing with something that can be very dangerous. DO NOT take this lightly. I am still on anti-depressants only because I do have a chemical imbalance in my brain.  Keep reaching out to people until someone listens. Talk to teachers, priests/clergy, friend's parents, since your own won't listen.  I am sorry to say this....but I don't think much of your parents if they aren't more concerned about you than this.  They are wrong and I hope they don't find out the hard way.  Promise me you will keep trying to reach out to someone who will listen. You're playing with fire and you're going to get burned if someone doesn't help you soon.

If you're parents won't listen, then maybe there's a way to get around that to go see a doctor.

Tell you're parents that you are having a hard time sleeping or that you feel tired all of the time. (Don't mention depression)

When you are at the doctor, then is the time to talk to them about all the depression like symptoms you are having. (Again, don't mention depression.)

It will be more than likely that the doctor themselves will see that you may be suffering from depression and recommend you go on medication. (If that is something that you decide to do.)


I am here if you ever need to talk.
