Is there something wrong with me?

Question

As of late, I've been feeling really...empty. I can't decide on what the feeling is, but I don't feel happy nor sad.

-I'm normally a very smiley, talkative, laughing person, but lately I haven't really felt like talking to anyone. (Aside from a friend or two)
-I find myself going to our local park and just sitting on the bleachers when no one's around, or climbing to the top of this really tall hill and looking out at half of my town. I do this for hours at times. Just being at beautiful places in general, sitting and thinking,
-My playlist has suddenly been filled with love songs. (Chasing Cars, Far Away, and Iris are probably the ones I play the most.)
-I keep getting this love-sick feeling. It's like how you feel when you start to really like someone, but it's not the normal fluttery and happy feeling.
-I don't really feel like spending time with my friends.
-I'm not lonely.

Things I'm Pretty Sure Aren't the Cause
-There haven't been any deaths.
-I don't like-like anyone/feel in love with anyone.
-There haven't been any major changes. (I.E. Moving.)

I'm only 13, so I don't think it's depression. (But it's possible.)

Answer 1

You have a desire, you want the opposite sex to love you and you want them. Try to get out and do other things. because if you are under age 17 you are at no age of even thinking of getting a wife/husband! I suggest you find some sports, puzzles, arts and crafts, kites, hang with friends, play a instrument, get a pet, go to fairs and walk a thons, help out around your neighborhoods and have some fun! God bless you! :)

Answer 2

Welcome to mild-to-moderate depression.

Your description sounds a lot like myself in a younger day- just an overwhelming sense of futility and sadness, unfocused, yet constantly with me.

Now I'm nearly forty, divorced, living alone and achieving few of the things I thought I'd one day do.

Having never pursued couselling or meds, I find myself experiencing good days and bad days, but usually keeping the offensive feelings buried down deep and ignored.

I find being busy prevents me from dwelling on my failures and disappointments, so I fill my time with work, my evenings with reading, puzzles, or the Internet.

Something Is wrong with you. and you are perfectly normal.

Answer 3

I don't think you are depressed at all, I think it's just a matter of waiting for an answer, of getting away and stopping and listening for something on the edge of you thoughts that you can't quite put your finger on at the moment. If you are religious, try prayer, if not try meditation until you get in tune with whatever it is. Does music seem to be a part of it also?

Answer 4

There is such a thing as nice overload. If you go around being nice all the time you just get weary and need some time to yourself. Try to divide that time though so you still make contact with your friends. You probably are just enjoying some peace.

Answer 5

You are suffering from depression. There are a number of solutions depending on the seriousness of the problems.
1. Exercise is the easiest way to lift your mood.
2. Sex is even more effective, if you can find good quality sex. Not the fumbling teenage kind.
3. Medication is the final choice. Prozac does wonders. But you need a prescription from your doctor.

Answer 6

It's okay to feel a little sad at times. It makes us truly appreciate the good and happy times. But if this has lasted longer than a week or two, then you might want to see if your doctor would recommend a anti-depressant.

Answer 7

This happens to many people at this time of the year with less sun and going into winter. Sometimes we just need time to ourselves but if this feeling continues for more than 3 months then you need to look further for advise. Please keep my address if indeed you need someone to talk to. Sometimes its nice to have a friend who don't necessarily know you to talk with. That way there is no social nor peer pressure.

Answer 8

It sounds like you're experiencing depression. You should tell your doctor and ask for a referral to a mental health professional. You might need some medication to get you feeling good again. Make sure you're eating healthfully and getting enough rest, first.

Answer 9

Does sound like a problem. Possibly deperession that can come on for no reason at all. But talk to a mental health professional. Someone who will know for sure.
