The curiosity of a mentally ill or depressed person might be enough to push them over the edge . But what about a normal healthy and happy human being , do you think anyone has ever done this?

Is this Depression?
I'm 14, Freshman.
I'm very pretty, and funny
But I don't usually talk to people I don't know, Im shy like that... but im not a quiet person.
I'm talkative and very smart.

But, I HATE SCHOOL (for the most part)
Classes bore me.
I get my work done in the first 5 min., then do nothing or read my novels.
I do however love Band and Art. (I'm an artsy person, but not emo or anything like that)
I'm an average person
I dress well
I'm nice, and funny
HOWEVER

I HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS
And I get lonely.
I don't trust anybody, because all of my friends have screwed me over some point or another.
I'm very mature for my age
I'm already planning for college, and know what I want for future career.

What can I do to be happier?
Am I Depressed?

Could it be Clinical Depression? And if it is should I be embarressed?
My brother had it when he was my age, and that fact always embarresed me.

About a year and a half ago I read one of Maya Angelou's poems. Several months later I found a piece of paper with a poem on it, read it, and thought I wrote the verse. Today I picked up the same book I read a year ago, found the poem in the book, and realized I did not write the poem, that, in fact, it was one of Angelou's poems. I am 20 years old soon to be 21, does this happen normally to people or should I look into this memory fault further? If I were asked if that poem were mine without seeing the book again, I can ascertain I would have said "Yes, this is my work." My fear is if this happened to carryover in my schoolwork, this would be a perfect illustration of plagiarism, in my mind unintentional but very much occurring.. Any advice? Thanks.

Is there away for someone to be truly senseless? Like not being able to feel things. My friend says he can't feel things or he just doesn't feel right within himself. He's felt like this since his childhood. It's almost all he ever thinks about everyone else just think he's weird but is there a possible way to be born without senses? I think its a deep and long depression.

Hi everybody. I have bipolar pretty severely, and it's always far worse in winter than in summer. I was wondering if going to a tanning bed would help at all? I'm pretty fair complected so I don't tan normally, even in summer I don't lay out. But I'm curious if light tanning maybe once a week would help with my depression?
Thanks!

Basically, i know someone who sighs all the time. Like as if they are always doing so much that they need to sigh in relief constantly. It's tremendously annoying.

it's not like I've done something so horrible to someone, physically and emotionally and I haven't done a crime. Yet for some reason I often feel guilty about how I feel for myself and making other people feel the way I do. It's weird........anyone ever feels/felt this way? if so, how did you deal? I know, it's got to do with confidenece issues.. but I feel like even if I raise my confidence I might still feel guilty or other people might make me feel that way..

i've applied for an admin job at a hospital and have to fill out a health questionnaire. one of the questions asks if i have/do self harm.
i've been cutting myself for 5yrs, should i be truthful and tick yes? i really don't want them to know, it won't affect my work. i'm worried they'll make me have a health assessment and i don't want to have to discuss my reasons for it.
i want to tick no, but i'm worried they'll access my medical records and discover i lied.

what should i do?

i just can't get over it
is it ocd?
i always or most of the time, have something on my mind that makes me guilty or lack confidence
a few years ago, i might have said f***ing jesus out loud or just part of it
i think just the thought of saying it out loud freaked me out and has been bothering me at some points constantly to the fact that i said that, which i could have just said the f word, but i don't remember, i tried to help myself by saying that i should live by my pride and if i have done something there would be a reason for it and if i don't make mistakes, i would lose the fact that im a human being and it is the timeline that's impossible to get across again
it's the time thing that will help me get past this where in exchange it'll bring me another crap of guilt like a relay
i got frustrated saying it in my mind, so i tried to make it worse by saying it out loud

Is this a form of verbal abuse?
My first memory in life is when I was 3 years old, i was at my aunts house, she was having a big party and it was dark, i remember feeling scared and crying for my mother,, my mom picked me up and everyone including my aunt was lauging on the top of their lungs, my aunt said "WOW You shouldnt have picked her up, shes 3 too old and your babying her"
I remember feeling awful..
Then when my aunt used to drive to our neighborhood, shed start laughing out loud and making fun of our neighborhood, (we lived in a lower income area of the city shes from an affluent area)she say ""like "HAHAH OMG look at these shops, Johns Fried Chicken,HAHA do you eat there"? or "OMG I SEE A WHITE PERSON"" "OMG look how filthy the streets are,, OMG Joses Pizza, HAHAHAHAHA"

It took a major toll on my self esteem.. Then everytime id go to her house shed say "DONT YOU WANT TO LIVE HERE"?
Also when i was 7 yrs old i was chubby, she made me get on a scale in front of the whole family, they all laughed and called me

First let me say I would never hurt myself, or another human being. I have been diagnosed for depression and anxiety disorder. I was mentally abused, and my dad pucnched me and threw me down on the ground untill my brother and mom pulled him off when I was 16 becasue I said "pissed off". I have been going to therapy since then I'm now 18, and going to a psychiatrist. Whenever I get extremely upset I break things. In the past two years I have broken 2 nice watches, punched a hole in my wall, cut my matress up to pieces with a box knife, smashed my $250 keyboard (I got a new one), torn the blinds off my window and shredded them up with a box knife, caught one of my guitars on fire and ripped the strings off which cut my hands up, and broken 7 cell phones by throwning them at walls, smashing them with a hammer etc. I don't know why I'm doing this and its starting to scare me. I havent told my psychiatrist about it. Is this related to the issuses I have or something else?

For years now, I have aknowledged that my home is cluttered. Not that bad but pretty bad in some areas of the house and to the point I am embarassed when people come over.
I always had a problem with cleaning sence I was a child and I now am recalling that my father had the same problem.
Everytime I try to clean I get so overwhelmed and depressed and tell myself I will do it later and wont.
My husband does not make the situation any better. He is famous for finding bargans and garbage picking and making the house worse.
I never understood what the heck our problems were that we can't get the energy to clean the place up!!
I just watched something on TLC about something called Hoarding Disorder? I read a little about it and I'm pretty sure we both share the same problem and I didnt know how serious it can get. I'm scared I am leading in that path but Im sure it's safe to say I am a mild case.
Has anyone ever had to deal with this problem before, and if so, how did you handle it?

I think I might have a drinking problem. My mother and her twin brother were are severe alcoholics. They have been sober 10 yrs +. I do not drink daily, but when I do, like say one weekends, I binge. Bad. I do things that are dangerous, risky, and very stupid. I can not even say what I do for fear of exposing myself. I have went out with a friends a few times, and stayed sober. I did OK with it, just was bored. I feel like I can not even enjoy sex unless I am 'buzzed'. You always picture an alcoholic as someone who drinks daily. Lately I am thinking its not just that. I have made some very poor decisions and I am very concerned. Help please.
