Depression Symptoms & Help : What Are the Signs & Symptoms of Depression?

[MrMaddenkilla]

I'm 15 my aye few months ago my teacher called my mom and said I sleep in class and I'm falling so she gets home and take my game and so I told my self I'm going to do better and I did so one day I ask my mom can I have my game back and she says no and say I'm not getting it back for my b-day neither so i have developed an attitude like I don't care about anything anymore and I feel that my game was the only thing keeping me from going outside alot and getting in trouble so I feel lost.

[JFuzzman]

Well other then lack of interest in pleasure-able activities I'm not showing any signs. xP I was dumped not even a week ago and sure I felt like complete crap the first two days now I'm not sure how I feel. I feel like I've somehow gotten over it this quickly which doesn't seem right to me. I've even tried to evoke sadness by imagining her with a different guy.. I can't get anything it's almost like I can't fathom it. Really sweet food isn't appetizing to me any more but healthy stuff is...

What you should do is tell someone and get help. There are lots of people that can get rid of depression. Don't loose hope.

[irishbeth77]

I'm 14, I've had depression for half my life (7 Years old) I started cutting in 5-6 grade & still do sometimes. I've tryed to commit suicide 6 times, I've relized it's not worth it anymore. I don't eat a lot & My friends have to force feed me.It's a struggle just to look in the mirror. To get away I draw or sing.I don't trust anyone so It's hard for me to talk to people. I'm here if people need someone to talk to.

[squirtlalloo]

i dont like going out anymore, i dont enjoy things as much as i used to, i stay up all night, and sleep in the day so i can avoid things, i look in the mirror and think that im not worth it, i tend to eat alot, even though im already fat and i shouldn't.

I dont know what to do, because when people ask 'why?' i just cant explain it, whenever i can get my hands on drinks, i'll drink them as quick as i can, just to feel that little bit of carelessness.

im 12.

[babyfefi]

it's pretty much normal that kids start getting depressed around 13-19 years old. But it's very important that you seek for help. I started getting depressed when i was 14 and i'm 21 and still taking therapy for it. Never give up and stay strong. dont be afraid to ask for help. talk to a counselor, ask for guidance. i know its hard and all you wanna do is keep pushing everyone away, but you have to fight against it and enjoy life. it's only one. :)

[xInnocentxDemonx]

I'm always in my house, I barely eat anymore, I'm dressing more goth each day, I can't concentrate on anything, I'm always tired, I day dream at school and am starting to get bad grades, I always want to stay home, I don't have any more friends, I feel like I'm worthless, I stay up until 4 o'clock every night. I'm always sad. I can't get a girfriend. All I do is listen to sad music on my laptop. And sometimes I cry before I go to sleep. But I've never had suicidal thoughts. I still need help :(

[SkelaSnave]

Guys just keep your mind on something you enjoy for me it's music and it helped me get through it.

[ps31871]

I have depression and i went to the doc and they give me some medisine and i go outside and i run for a while evrey day and that is helping out now i feel a lot better.

[funfun26]

There is hope.

[Shawskyyy]

i stay in the house all day, i stay up untill 4 in the morning and sleep in, i hate what i look like and hate looking at my reflection, my dad isnt proud of me because all i do is sit around on my laptop and dont want to go out with friends, i have a bad relationship with my dad because of this, i have suicidal thoughts alot. im 16 and cant get a girlfriend...my parents think suicide is a joke and dont know about me thinking about it, i do bad in school and dont have many friends, please help

[MrQuizknows]

I was just diagnosed with depression. My grades in the last 3 years have gone from straight As to Ds and Fs. I sleep alot, but I can never fall asleep at night time. I just don't feel up to it anymore. I have had suicide thoughts. I just want it to get better.

[mjchangedmylyf]

i don't know if i'm depressed. but in the mornings, i do aerobics, and doing any kind of exercise releases endorphin that's supposed to make a person happy. but not me. in the mornings, i'd feel sad, and i'd even cry and i have no idea why! and i'm neutral at night. it's summer, and i'm supposed to be having the time of my life, but i'm at home in my computer. my friends don't want to hang out, and my family always asks me why i'm not hanging out, and i just make excuses that my friends r busy.

[mjchangedmylyf]

@mjchangedmylyf and usually, after lunch, i'm on my computer going to facebook, and feeling all sad because no one is trying to communicate with me, so i log off and watch anime from youtube. then i'd sleep for like 3 hours. i'm so lonely, and sad, and i feel worthless. it's like sleeping is the only way that helps me cope up with the lonliness. I feel that no one wants to be around me. like i'm a burden. my own sister doesn't even wanna talk to me, my cousins don't care,

[mjchangedmylyf]

@mjchangedmylyf and my friends neglect my efforts for trying to reach out. no one really texts me. i just feel so alone right now. i have ow energy, and i don't understand why. i exercise every morning. aren't i supposed to have more energy?? :(

and this morning, i cried so much. i don't know why, but there was this ache in my chest, the next thing i knew, i was sobbing. :(

Can anyone help me??

[GBAPCLAN]

i have never been invited to a house party, i day dreamt that summer would be filled with great days out with friends in the summer sun. i now just stay indoors all day on my computer' playing games or looking at pictures on facebook of other peoples great parties they have had.

[MegaDarkangel420]

i'm always sad i wonder why i'm sad i'm sitting in the dark looking for answers to why i feel so depressed,i feel as if my life is in distress,i get picked on alot by my closest relative they call me lazy because i don't wanna get out of bed,its like i lost interest of things i once enjoyed i don't enjoy it anymore,i feel like my heart is broken into pieces i try to reach out to people but they ignore me like i'm not there so why should i care,sometimes i get violent and don't know why i did it

[airsoftkiller17]

I feel like there's always a reason to be sad and there's always a way of things to get better but after thinking that for so long I lose hope and just live with it I have a great friend that keeps trying to help me but I push her away and don't know why cuz all I keep thinking is someone please help me but when she try's I get mad and tell her to leave me alone I do things like ridding my bike to keep my mind off all the sad things in my life but as soon as I'm done all the sad comes back and

[supersquash7]

I've always wanted to be a comedian, for a long time i was really funny. Then one day i was making a person mad because they couldn't take a joke and they got offended or something. Ever since then i haven't had comedy in my life because i took a break of being comedic. But soon lost it, then i fell into a deep depression and am still in one it seems, i don't know how to get a drive back into doing something i love, everything seems so hopeless. Btw, i'm only 15. So basically like the top c

[HaloAssassinsGroup]

@supersquash7 same here.

[22Hypergrl]

Yeah this has been going on for two years :/

[22Hypergrl]

I hardly sleep, I never do. Not once have I had a good sleep. Hardly eat, don't like going anywhere but in my room I hide from everyone else, I don't like talking to anyone anymore.. always was quiet :/... It's just hard for me to be socialable..

[magdi1966]

@22Hypergrl I feel the same way. I don't like going anywhere either, or doing anything. Nothing makes me happy any more. I don't feel loved or wanted or needed. Sometimes, I just don't want to be here any more.

[Arukana1000]

Its understandable why people become depressed. The world is cruel place where only the strong can truly survive. Humans constantly betray and use one another for their own benefit. They only hear what they want to hear and see what they want to see. Its Pitiful and sad. Out of all the memories one mind can retrieve, the negative memories always surface first, followed by the few happy memories. Humans earned the right to be sad by the dog eat dog world they created.

[MrAtkar1]

I feel horrible all the time. This is been happening for weeks. I need help but my parents just say i'm not depressed. I feel so painful..

[CHASSYYYBBY]

I Don't Hang Out With Friends Anymore , My Grades Are Getting Lower , I Stay In My Room All Day ,I Hardly Eat , I Don't Really Talk To My Family , I Go Through Pain Everyday. I'm Only 12 . . /:

[roxannemunoz31]

I'm deeply depressed...Many people have tried to help but I only fall back into it and deeper everytime. Sometimes I wonder what it will be like to fly or swim in the ocean without needing to hold your breath. I used to cut. All my left arm has dark scars and the word "Love" is on my right ankle. One day, I'll be free from this pain...

[n8vryuzakigurl]

@roxannemunoz31 I Gone Through The Same Thing I Have Scars On My wrist And On My Leg I Did Write "Love" On my Left Leg So just So You Know We Can Talk If You Like I Know People tryed helping Me But It Comes Back So If You Ever need To Talk To anyone Im here I Feel The Same Way maybe We Can Help Each oTher i Hope This message Finds You Soon

[Pozos88]

i have like 6 of these symptoms and i feel so lonely and depressed and not wanted by anyone even by some members of my family even though i've done nothing wrong and its really hard for me to have a conversation with someone and its also been along time since i've chilled with someone i could call a friend. i've felt like this ever since my parents got divorced. now that im a freshmen in college i feel even worse. i know i cant live the rest of my life like this. things have to get better.

[blazinrasin408]

[sheekcannonify]

[elegantlywasted100]

I'm not sure it's just thinking - what about Biology and Childhood.

[TheDescentJatt]

[momo4895]

@lilcrazyaznboy it's kind of hard to be a kid when you feel like no one cares about you and, you feel alone anyways, that was really rude what you said, SHAME ON YOU!!!!! I'm 15 and I feel as though I don't even want to eat anymore, let alone go outside and play, I've had the same feeling of sadness, and alone-ness for about 2 months straight now, and your telling me that we get sad over the littlest of things?!?!?!?!?!?! you don't make sense to me

[momo4895]

I'm 15 years old. I feel "trapped" and alone, all the time, I feel as no one cares about me, and tired, I daydream a lot, and I'm not getting good sleep, I never feel hungry and I lost interest in a lot of activities that I like to do... is this a sign of depression?

[TheDescentJatt]

@momo4895 i feel the same...but i do feel hungry.....tried anything for overcoming this ?

[momo4895]

@TheDescentJatt everyday I say to myself at least 10 times a day "your wonderful, you have great friends who love you, your wonderful..." and so on.. I repeat this and whisper it to myself when I fell depressed, I'm also seeing a therapist about depression, and I keep a journal with me.. I call this journal that happy journal, and I only write good things in them that have happened to me throughout the week... I'm feeling much better, but once in a while I have one of those "days."

[Mooyas1]

I just turned 16 and spent my birthday alone. My dad died in afghanistan. My mom is constantly working all the time to give me an education. I lost interest in friends. Lost interest in relationships. I always think everyone hates or dislikes me. The worst part is I really dont want to live. The one thing I don't want to do is make my mom cry, shes to nice to have anything bad happen to her. I havent talked to anyone even my mother for 4 months now. I have only communicated through writing.

[TheDescentJatt]

@Mooyas1 happy blated b'day buddy :) God Bless!

even i wish to die but m living for my parents....

[teenytiny09]

@Mooyas1 i hope you know that your mother loves you to death. And losing a parent is one of the hardest things to go through. You are a strong person! I hope you talk to someone or get help. I know both your parents will and would want you to find yourself and find happiness even if it takes awhile.

[Pozos88]

@Mooyas1 HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE!!!! i know what its like to not have a father around and i also think im suffering from depression and loneliness. i know things r hard for u right know but u gotta remember that people love and car about u and that this is the lowest that things can get so eventually something good will happen to u that will finally make u happy. try talking about it with your mom and im sure things should get better from there. :)

[Sapphiregriffin]

@lilcrazyaznboy thanx. and yes i know my spelling sucks, but thats because i dont speack english very well. best wishes to you to

[bluewizgrl]

@lilcrazyaznboy just because we're "young" doesn't mean we can't be depressed. you don't know us or our lives

[lilcrazyaznboy]

Well, depression is more than what happened in your life. It's more than just being sad. For all I know your papa can buy you a 500 dollar dress, and you will light up in no time. Depression is a disorder. Just because something goes wrong in your life, doesn't mean you are suffered from depression. If you lose weight dramatically and gaining weight dramatically.. If your mood change throughout the day.. If you constantly thinking your life is worthless. You may suffered from depression.

[musicproducer16]

@yetanotheremoguy Not everyone is doing it to show out,or to get attention some people actually are depressed. I think I am depressed & even my mom said that I was before I even saw I was.Last year I went to the doctor & was told I had a disease & after I went into depression. My best friend lost her dad as a little girl & now she stay inside the house all day long & on top of that she also is in the hospital allot because she has a sickle cell.Some people fake it & for others its the real deal.

[bubbles4buttons]

@FailingTube to them its real. i get where your coming from, to us what they are going through is trivial, but to them its not and you have to respect that.

[mmtna]

life sucks ! 

[Liquadia]

Hello people! there are many reasons as to why we are all depressed. Over the last 2 weeks i have been feeling over the moon! and i had a dip where i was depressed again, however my fix is to get out and exercise, signed my self up to a gym and i feel far far far better than i was. Sitting indoors allday, sleeping, or just not socialising was the big issue. I know we all FEEL TIRED or blown away on times, but force ur self some exercise! the rewards are high and exercise is a depressionKiller

[KryptoWolf]

@Liquadia yea sure..... cause that will fix my problems *Sarcasm*

[Sapphiregriffin]

[whitezombie00]

Im 16 or 17 and I remember when I was happy all the time and laughed about everything. I used to be the one always making people laugh and happy. But then My father was drunk and hit me and molested me. He always made fun of me. then, when I moved, my life changed completely. When I tried to make people happy, I got laughed at. Everyday Im ridiculed. Im always get cheated on in relationships. I feel like Im in a hole that I will never get out of. I try everyday to end it, but I always survive..

[whitezombie00]

@whitezombie00 Sorry... Im 16 going on 17...

[AbaIssachar]

depression starts from stress, after that sadness, then anxiety and fear... then BOOM depression is form. can't control your feelings.

[DaXia333]

Great, I'm depressed.

[kagomeinlove95]

Yep....I Have Depression It's Officail

[poopik121]

most of the symptoms here fit me.

[eternallyempty]

around 1 min . . . depression isn't psychotic, is it? most of the time it's logical, but in a self-defeating and downward cycle way.

I've met most all depression of the factors

[basicboi23]

From everything I have read and viewed I think my friend has depression but what is worse I think he might be suicidal. I need to know right now how to help him, what do I do? He is not likely to accept my depression diagnoses and might even turn away from me if I suggest it; that may lead him to disaster. Please, I need some help here, PLEASE! Thank you.

[zumibutton]

ur fucking boring

[californiania]

Can you see the unseen? Can you see all the EMF going on? Cell phone frequencies? Can you see the microwave bombardment?

Can you see Earth stones working for you when you hold them? You can feel it! Like Carnelian and Tiger Iron.

You can see the results of using earth stones. "chemtrails dissolved" and "chemtrail busters" "chemtrail workshop" show chemtrails being dissolved, almost miraculously in minutes. Orgonite really clears the air. Great to sleep with too. Best sleep ever.

[Abeautifullife1]

In ordder to alleviate symptoms of depression, it is not possible to create a therapy group, but like a family of people in the same conditions?

[TheoryReviewGuy]

My dad likes to sleep alot and he is moody most of the time. But when he's happy he goes overboard.

Is this a sign of depression?
