Depression?

Hi, I am a new member, you may have seen my last post, 'why am i so mad?!!". I am just getting into the idea that I am depressed. I have been sad for about 2 years now, but I never really thought of myself as being depressed.

One day, I was talking to someone from school, and she asked me why my grades were not as high as they should be (or at leats as my norm). She then asked me if it was because of depression.

All of a sudden, I knew. It hit me then and there. I'm DEPRESSED. I have all the symptoms.

I read through everyone's posts, and I can relate to almost everyone of them. I had no idea.

I am scared to talk to anyone, really about depression, because I don't want to be judjed accordingly. I don't know what to do. Should I tell my doctor? Help me please.

Hi Sweety. I responded to your other post. I do really think you should talk to somebody about this (dr./parents/school counsellor). There is help out there and it doesn't always mean taking anti-depressants

Thanks dbab.

I'm happy today. I've been feeling alot better once my parents stopped fighting. I am fiveteen btw.

For some reason, everything seems to go wrong all at the same time. My parents fighting all the time, my siblings fighting, I just felt alone.

Once it all stops for a while, and I actually feel like I am doing something for my life, then I am not so depressed.

I like this site, because it is like a journal that you get ffedback from. I lkie that.

Thanks, Sweety

Thanks for your posts. I appreciate you guys. I am glad I have this site to fall back on.

I haven't been feeling very well lately. I seem to be crying alot now. More so than before.

I have found, that when I am surrounded by friends, I am happier than when I am alone with others that I don't know.

Some days, I feel like the whole world hates me. Yesterday I yelled at my father. I fell terrible about that, but I don't know what to do, because I wouldn't know what to say. "I'm sorry dad, I am depressed." That's just a hard thing for me to say to anyone I really know.

I fell asleep crying late last night, and I had a class this morning at 6:00 then I went straight to my other class after that, and I don't know when I will have time to sleep.

I am sorry I am nagging about this, I just wanted somewhere to write it down just to get it out of my mind.

Thanks again.
