Answer 2

Since being diagnosed as having clinical depression for the last 20 yrs, and having so much crap in my life, I know real depression (the illness kind) from what is called normal depression. Everybody gets depressed from time to time, but when it is overtaking your life, and your health deteriorates because of it, THAT is clinical depression, a treatable illness. Thank god i have never had to go on heavy anti depressant medications or expensive treatments, but it has been so bad at times I have gone to the emergency room for a supposed heart attack only to find out that it has progressed into depression related anxiety disorder. HERES WHAT HELPS: Know that this is only a passing phase, find out what you are unhappy about, and think of what to do to make yourself feel better (not neccessarily happier). Be realistic about it and maybe talk to a councelor at a local family service agency. There is a great one here where I live and only 15 dollars a visit. It is funded by the United Way, so check that out. Good luck.

Answer 3

No i feel exactly the same way. I feel crowded because there are always people around so what I do is i take a walk and have my Mp3 player along or I find a secluded spot in the garden under a willow tree so I can be left alone for a while without any noise. Happy day dreaming!

Answer 4

Well, no one can really tell by a description like that. I suffer from depression, and I like being left alone, I also like company too. When you realize you're depressed, it's more than just wanting to be alone. It's when you don't even want to wake up in the morning, when you stop caring, pay less attention to detail than you used to at your job or on the home front. It's a lot of things, more than just wanting to be left alone. But if you're really concerned, you should seek medical advice, or counseling.

Answer 5

No you are perfectly fine, you are just a loner. Nothing wrong with that. Sometime I need my space and don't want to be around others and sometimes I don't want to be alone. I think you'd know if you were depressed, do you feel down or sad? if not then you are just a loner.

Answer 6

If you think you are depressed you need to see a doctor they will be able to help you. That is the best advice that you can receive. I find that sometimes I need my space and need to be alone and this does not mean I am wierd and you are not weird.

Answer 7

Answer 9

i think all teens go through it at one time or another. however it seems like most doctors don't want to help with therapy or counseling they just want to perscribe pills. talk with your parents and doctors.
