im only 14 im scared please help! i think i might be depressed does anyone know? i feel really tired all the time and even the tiniest thing takes so much effort to do. i feel alone even though i know that lots of people care about me and are here for me, and sometimes i just cry for no reason. some days i feel like i cant get up because im too worn out with life and there is nothing to get up for. once i was coming back from school and i panicked and couldnt breathe and my heart was beating really fast and i thought i would die... is that a panic attack? even when good things happen i feel sad because im scared the good things will be taken away from me. i think im going crazy, please help me! im not close to my family and im scared to see a doctor, what should i do?

You are not alone. There are a lot of other people in the world that have what you are feeling, especially other teenagers... I was one of them and had the same things going on as you did. To me, you sound like you have depression mixed with anxiety. What you should do is talk to someone you trust, like a school counselor or a teacher or a friend, and get professional help. In my opinion, you need to see someone, and just know that these things are treatable. You are not crazy.

Please go see a doctor, and don't be afraid to tell him everything. You are not alone. My daughter had the very same problem and she went for years with it until they gave her the right medication. She has been on Lexapro for about a year now, and it works wonders!! She can handle everyday problems in life now, and is so much more fun to do things with. She use to dislike work, school, and she would even get short tempered with her friends and family. No one knew what to say or what to do, it all depended on what kind of mood she was in. Now it is so nice to be able to just be yourself around her! We are even planning a vacation together. Hope your doctor can prescribe a medication that will help you as much. Good luck!

Your a teenager there are going to be ups and downs. Make sure you are eating a healthy diet, that should make you feel a little better and some one of your age is supposed to get 10 hours sleep a night, try going to bed at 9:30 and getting up at 7:30, go to bed earlier if you get up early, clinical depression is in actual fact VERY VERY rare, I don't think you have it. Try to find someone you feel comfortable with and talk to them about how you feel. Happiness is effected by things in our life, but generally speaking, if you get up every morning determined to have a good day and to get the best out of that day and the rest of your life you can be happy, so try! with all your heart to feel happy and I think you'll start to feel better.
Goodluck!

Sounds like how I felt at 14 and I suffered from depression and anxiety that only got worse over time. I only got treatment for it last year and I'm 29 now. Talk to a doctor, there is help for that!! Don't waste years trying to deal with problems that can be solved.

those are all signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety attacks..i think you are too young to be takin medication for it..i think everyone goes through times like that.. try doing something active and that will make u feel good.. it also could be just a down time in your life.. things will get better.. best of luck.

You are NOT going crazy. It sounds like you may have depression, can you talk to your school counselor or teacher? Best wishes.
