Is It Normal?
What do you think?
What's wrong with me?
Recently I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm usually a social, happy girl. I used to have depression problems but I got over them a little over a year maybe two years ago. Lately all I want to do is sit down and cry. Yesterday (12/23) was my birthday. I went out with my mom and family and what not, but all I really wanted to do was cry. I sat there holding back tears all night, not saying a word. That night I layed down and cried myself to sleep, and then Woke up at 1 in the morning and couldn't go back to sleep 'till 5. This isn't normal for me. It's not a birthday ohmygosh I'm getting older thing, because I've been feeling this way for a while now. I don't think it's depression because I know what I'm like and How I feel when it is. What's wrong with me? I feel alone all the time, depsite the fact that I have great friends. I have no idea what's going on.

I can't even talk to someone or look them in the face without wanting to get hysterical. It's like that feeling you get when you've just broken up with someone of so many years. What the f*** is going on? And don't give me some ass-hole re-marks how I'm 'emo' or some sh*t like that. I'm 100% serious. If you can help in any way, please let me know.

wtf, that IS depression. just because you feel different, doesnt mean its not the same condition. depression doesnt act in the same way all the time.

try not to dwell on your depression too long I'm 13 years old, male so I know about this, sometimes I get really sad too and I stay like that for at least two hours. try hanging out with friends that make you laugh, it always work for me.

Depression isn't something(with my anyway) that can just go away over-night just by hanging out with my friends. Believe me, If it worked that easily I would have done it already. I'm 17, I've gone through it before and I KNOW that doesn't work.

Thanks anyway. (:

I wonder if you have seen your doctor about it? It definately is depression and I can certainly empathyse with you. I go through the same at my age (60). Your first move is to see your doc. I would think at your age that it is hormonal problems of one sort or another. I really wouldn't presume to pretend I know how to treat it. Certainly being with people will stop it getting worse than it is but not necesarily make it go away. You are female to so there is a lot going on (stil) in your body that I have no knowlege of. I was a manic depressive at your age but it just seemed to go overnight. I hope it does the same for you. Go see your doc and if you aren't happy with what he/she says/does, see another. Get a second oppinion. You are entitled to do that. I wish you luck.

exercise is the best medicine for feeling blue ,it releases endorphins which make you feel great.get some good music and take a long long walk and see if you dont feel better.also getting outside gets you some sunlight which also helps with despression and drink plenty of water and take your multivitamin daily.

I think I'll actually try that. I've been meaning to be a little more active anyway. And I've heard that it helps too. As for the water thing, I drink 1-2 gallon's a day, so that's not a problem. But I guess I should start with the vitamin thing. Thanks. (:

It is depression just another level of it you have no had yet. You need to get help so you can live a normal life. Go talk to a doctor not to these dick faces on this site.

See, there you go again. Did you even bother to read any of the advice appended hereto?
It would seem not since I told her exactly the same only without the insults to my fellow IIN members. Now what does that tell you? Do you see a dick face when you look in the mirror?

I don't really believe in depression, everyone has problems, and people just need to learn how to deal. If you have nothing going wrong in your life, no stress, then I really don't really see why you would want to cry like that, it could be some kind of minor mental disability you have. You need to see a specialist,and not some quack who will just give you prozac. It might just be teenage hormones, or something though. I used to cry over little things when i was a teenager at night, it would take me forever to go to sleep. On weekends sometimes try sleeping all day, it helps with stress.

I'm not stressed and I don't have mental problems. Sleeping only makes it worse when I do that.

Well its only part of growing up, some ppl get agresive, some ppl get sad, and some even go hyper all the time, its all normal, even if you have multiple atitudes like me lol, I used to get pissed of easily, I always felt alone, and Im hyper all the time now lol, its just the hormones flying around, nothing to worry about.
