I think I may have depression problems..?!?

Question

I am having a problem. I feel happy when I get home and then five minutes later I feel all sad/upset and angry. Half the time I feel like I need to cry and stay in bed all the time. I cried myself to bed the other night and my mom and I got in such a big fight she said I was mentally challenged. Can anyone help me.....?

Answer 1

In 1997 My Dad dies, 1998, my Mom, 1999, My Mother in law, 2000, I broke my leg and was in a wheel chair for 4 months, 2001, my daughter left her Husband and ended her marriage and came home. Then two years ago I developed Rheumatoid arthritis. I was suicidally depressed for 7 years.

On a visit to the Dr. He ran a THYROID test and we learned that my Thyroid was not working up to the level it should. IN ONE MONTH ON THE THYROID MEDICATION I WAS TOTALLY NORMAL AGAIN.

PLEASE GET YOUR THYROID AND YOUR HORMONE LEVELS TESTED. THIS MIGHT JUST SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

Hmm, people have a way of looking at things....

For me, well, from the sound of what you are saying you are having difficult expressing your needs (possibly as a result of a loss within yourself) and it looks like that your parents or someone outside the family is affecting you in someway and your mind are not understanding what your needs are at the moment.

In turn, there is a bottle of emotions just surged out of control while the mind may be (self?) talking in circles about what or what cannot be possible.

What I would suggest for your piece of mind before losing your hair over it is to acknowledge that "this process" of both resolution of what your needs are and how you express your emotions will take time.

Take a pad and pen, jot down three things that are important to you about a problem you wanted to resolve.

If you have a garden go outside or a park or a hoilday area so that you have space and freedom to feel the energy around, breathe and relax! (this does help your thinking, believe it or not!) and look at your list. For each item, divide a line between each topic where the left side are your needs and wants, the other line are others including your family, your mates, school, teachers, anyone else.

When you are done, notice how you feel about doing this?

Does it hurt, or does it help you work it out? If this did, great!! If not and you find that it hurts inside somewhere, then you may then see (excatly) in doing one of two things I offer you.

1) Ask for help based on the information of where you wanted someone to assist you in "clarifying or understanding" as opposed to your "assuming" your needs. There is a diffence and must be mentioned before asking. It is here where you may see possibly if a (qualified) doctor may help or a trust worthy friend/parent can go from there.

2) Possibly you may be picking up someone else's rubbish/junk as your own thus getting mixed up at the moment so while in the space in the garden, park, write down on the pad of paper for about 5 to 10 mins or more if you wanted to about everything, don't READ what you write just keep on writing about what you feel and think, this will uncover your thoughts behind the emotions going through your mind and then throw the paper away or burn the thoughts in a fire-proof safe place. I bet you will then feel a bit empty are all that. Good for you being in the parden/park to breath again and look for the good things in life with a smile and thoughts of graditude for life it brings.

You will note that this will require no medication however it does take time. Each person is different doing this excerise.

Enjoy what life has to offer.

First your mom probably spoke out of anger, do you live with your mom? Not knowing your age affects my answer, if your not an adult be patient you won't always live at home, if your an adult you need to face issues, if it's just a matter of being in a rut you need to change your routine go out with your friends or a date, get a boyfriend that might cheer you up. if your so unhappy you need to figure out what is making feel this way. I see already you have answers of go see your doctor, yes that's the answer let's take medication to numb ourselves from our feelings instead of dealing with them. The way to shake depression is to meet it head on. If it's hormonal then the doctor is acceptable, talk to your mother she is likely to have experienced these problems in her life ask her for advice. If that's not a viable option talk to a friend who knows you and who would give you an honest assessment of your problems. And last but not least get out of bed unless your getting busy!!! Keep your head up life is full of ups and downs it will get better. Oh and I almost forgot say a little prayer and ask GOD for the guidance to make it through this difficult time. It works. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

I am not a doctor, but I suffer from depression and hormonal problems. You definitely sound as if you are having hormonal problems. You may be depressed as well but to be sure, ask your mom to take you to the doctor to find out why your mood swings so much and to see if you are depressed. You may not need medication, rather a good balanced diet, fresh air, and exercise. And who knows, maybe light therapy. Look up SAD (Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder).

Answer 6

sounds like hormones, being a teenager is difficult at best.
Go to the doc get a complete check up. get some family counseling. get refer ed to a hormone specialist, test thyroid.
may need a mild antidepressant for a season.
pray ask God to help you, find a good church. get involved in youth activities. relax. eat right exercise. Joyce Meyers has a great book. teenagers are people too. God bless you! You will get better ! remember you are a victor not a victim

Answer 7

You do sound as if you have depression, either clinical or reactive and the first port of call should be your doctor. He will talk to you and decide which you have, and work out the best course of action. Whatever he decides, do not expect miracles. These things take time. Then, try and learn from your symptoms and try to recognise them and act on them before they get worse.

Your mother is cruel and insensitive. You should never tell someone to "snap out of it"! It ain't that easy!! You are not mad, just feeling low. Try and get help now.

Good luck! I will be thinking of you.
