ok im depressed, but I don't know what to do..............................................?

Question

Iv'e been asking before about whether or not Im depressed, and I've just decided that I am. But right now I have absolutely no feeling. I feel extremely empty. I dont wanna do anything. I don't care about anything. I don't know what I want. I don't even want to be happy. I dont want to sleep or anything. I'm just sitting here. Doing nothing. Meanwhile downstairs a whole bunch of crap is going on. My brother just got in a big fight with my step dad. I should be feeling sad or something. But I don't. The only feeling I have at all is hunger. I don't even feel like getting up to eat though.

"blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

thats how i feel right now

Here's my question from before:

I'm feeling crazy right now. I need to figure out what's wrong with me. I feel depressed. I feel like I have some mental condition, but maybe I don't and Im telling myself that to give myself an excuse for how crappy I am.

I was talking with my mom and she asked me why I don't hang out with anyone. She suggested that I don't feel like I fit in. Which is totally right, but it shouldn't be. I look normal, if not attractive. In fact I see girls checking me out a lot. But I don't feel normal and sometimes when I look into the mirror it's as if that person isn't really me, or im not good enough to be that person. I wonder why anyone really likes me because I see nothing in me.

Maybe I really am depressed. Maybe I just want attention. I really don't know. I shouldn't have any reason for being depressed. I only have one more day of school and then I have a big thanksgiving break. I should be feeling happy.

Answer 1

You do sound like you have symptoms of clinical depression.
This can turn into something quite serious if you do not seek both medical and psychiatric attention.
You can be both medicated (with an anti-depressant) and seek counseling from a psychotherapist or counselor or whatever.
But your first step needs to be to go to your mom and let her know how you feel and what's going on. Mom is the one person that you should always be able to turn to. If for some reason you do not feel comfortable in going to mom, talk to a school counselor or an aunt or uncle or grandparent - whatever adult you trust and feel like can help you go in the right direction to get help.
Help is out there - but you have to seek it.
God speed and take care - you are loved and it will be okay if you do what needs to be done.

Answer 3

Not feeling motivated to do anything is a classic symptom of depression. I would talk to someone about how you've been feeling. Maybe your mom or stepdad would be a good person to talk to about it now? I'd also suggest making an appointment with your doctor or with a mental health professional who can help you get through this. Hang in there!!

Answer 4

Look, feeling nothing, empty, means you are depressed. It doesn't sound like you are living in a great home situation which could be contributing to this.

Here is what you should do; see a counselor. Plain and simple. Talk to them about how you are feeling, why you think you are feeling it and then go from there. Stop thinking you are not depressed or asking us, do something about it and help yourself.

Answer 5

If you're truly depressed,that nasty feeling should last for two weeks straight. You don't wanna nag your family about it yet because it'll just get them concerned when it's possible that you're not really depressed yet. And than you'll put yourself down for getting them so worried. When you've been feeling this way for two weeks is when you should seek help. But while it's not two weeks yet, don't ever think of yourself as depressed yet. I've felt that way before, and at first,I thought I was in desperate need of a therapist. I was somehow able to get myself through with optomisim. God was my main motivation. Let him into you're life. He'll be the one to heal you.

Answer 6

I had melancholy too and it led me to think of roughly doing loopy issues that should have ruined my life. i exchange into married and definitely very just about cheated on my spouse, caught myself nevertheless. i don't declare to appreciate childrens recently yet i will confirm while they're lost and could desire to be got here across. i've got confidence for you and choose directly to share some stable advice without sounding too old formed. you don't prefer a intercourse companion desirable now. you extremely have such diverse thoughts at 17. do not sell your self out to somebody like that. What approximately college, ending extreme college? Being a stable daughter that your mum and dad ought to be pleased with? there's a manner. Jesus died for our sins and God is waiting which you would be able to instruct around and choose that he's with you. specific He seen you so worth that his son exchange into sent to die for You. you're some distance to significant to be someones intercourse chum. God has plans for you yet you ought to exchange your strategies so those plans could be revealed.

Answer 7

I have felt like that so many times I can't even count them all, so you are definitely not alone in your depression.

You have to find an adult in your life who has the time and the compassion to help you get the professional help you need.

If you aren't able to find such a person, look up depression hotlines or find a local psychiatrist in your phone book and make an appointment if possible.

Don't try to overcome your depression by yourself, because trust me, you will fail.

Reach out to anyone you know and care about for help, most importantly, God; pray to Him every night for help and He will.
