Whats wrong ? why am i so depressed ?

Answer 1

One of the best things you can do for yourself right now is to get out and make friends where you are. That will help ease the transition a little. Sure, you'll still miss your friends from Addison, but the more comfortable you get with where you currently are, the easier it will be.

My husband and I have been together for 3 years and in those 3 years I have lived in 5 different places. My husband is in the military. Our biggest move yet was about 1 1/2 ago when we moved from Illinois to Washington state. I've always lived within an hour of my family and friends, and it was so super hard for me to move 3,000 miles away. I really missed all my friends and family and still do, but it became SOOOO much easier when I started making friends here.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You're depressed for a number of reasons:

You just had a big life change in moving to your dad's
You're away from your friends at a time when friends are important to your well-being
You're isolated from other people your age because you're doing homework on the computer
You're unhappy with your body
You're 13 and are beginning to have your own ideas about you want in your life and it's at a time when your Dad can't readily help you (let you go to a dance far away, etc)

You're having the feelings many other people your age have - even without moving and readjusting. It's hard to do, but you have to wait it out.

I hope you will share with your Dad that you feel depressed other than over the dance thing. It's important that he know. Not eating and feeling apathetic can be nothing or they could be something. If it goes on for more than 2 weeks straight, your dad needs to get you to a doctor.

Answer 3

In my opinion your way too young to be in the Yahoo! Answers section. No offense to you, but to warn you for your safety, there are a lot of sexual predators out there who are looking for minors to pray on. I wish all adults could get along with minors, but I've seen so many teenage girls on Yahoo! Answers asking a question and all these adult "men" start talking pervertedly to them.

No offense, but I'm very concerned as a caring person as to "Why don't you want to eat?". If it's to be skinny, you need to seek psychological help.

I'll be glad to help more, but I would like to know more about your story. You say you don't want to go anywhere, but what's the underlying cause? When I was a teenager I remember feeling I wasn't good enough to go outside of my house because I wanted to look like a model. Except I didn't starve myself because I wanted to keep healthy at an average weight or sometimes a little over. I'm 23 now and no longer have O.C.D. which is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I strongly suggest that for your own health, that you talk to other people you can trust (like your dad) about how you feel. If you're terrified of gaining weight, please see a psychologist. But be prepared because your psychologist may decide that you need more help than just counseling and suggest an anti-deppresant for you. If have any questions about depression feel free to ask me because I've been battlling depression since I was 12 years old except I started over eating from it. I've been seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist for it ever since.

Answer 4

1) horomones
2)your parents are divorced
3)you feel starved of attention so you do irrational things like starving yourself or not doing your homework
4)you have no feel of control so you starve yourself and don't do your homework to have a sense of control
5)you miss your friends

You do have it better than most kids and you are being selfish, but stuff like divorces can really mess someone up. I feel sorry for you. Hope I cleared things up.

Answer 5

you are depressed because you have too much time on your hands to think about every little thing and its making you depressed. Go out and Do something, go to the dance, call your friends, talk to ur dad about moving back now, go online, listen to music, anything to distract yourself for awhile.
