Answer 1

Hormones are responsible for the emotional changes that take place during puberty. You may feel confused, have emotional outbursts, feel sad, or have strong emotions or mood that change quickly. You might be overly sensitive or easily lose your temper. There are those crazy hormones working on you again.

If you feel really out of control or depressed, talk to your parents or a teacher.

Consider getting a diary or a journal and start writing every day. It helps to put down on paper what you are feeling.

Answer 2

I went through something like this last year for about 2 or 3 months. It was during the school year and I was totally stressed out for a whole bunch of reasons (I was 14). I'm pretty sure it's totally hormones. So yes, it's puberty, which sucks. I thought I was depressed, but now I realize I wasn't. Well if I was, it was nothing major or anything. Here's what i did.

Don't listen to ANY sad songs. I listen to music all the time and if I listened to a sad song, it just made me feel aweful.

Go outside and do something. Like running or hiking or something. It helps, especially when it's sunny. It's hard to be sad when it's sunny.

Write in a journal. I know it sounds sort of stupid, but it helped me SOOOOO much. Write about how you hate people, life, etc. Swear at them. Write all the mean and nasty stuff you can think of and get it all out of your system. And be sure to hide it!!! If you don't have a journal you could also just write in a spiral notebook. This is like the number 1 thing that got me through this.

After awhile, I started to get less stressed and felt a whole lot better. But if this just doesn't stop, then I think you should talk to a counselor or psychatrist or someone. But you could always talk to a parent or friend first if you don't want to go to one. Cuz seriously, I freaked out at the though of seeing the shrink. Oh, and get lots of sleep, that can help. I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon!!!

I'm sorry that you feel so bad. When we are overcome with sadness it's a very good idea to see someone who spends their life helping people who are sad. They can be either a psychologist or a psychiatrist or even a social worker. There are very special people who treat only young people your age. I think it would be a very good idea if you were able to see someone like that. It's not difficult to get an appointment and I understand when you are sad that it's sometimes hard to get motivated to do any thing,so ask a parent or an adult that you trust to help you to see a therapist. After a few months of treatment you will probably feel better. But you more than likely will still feel bad if you don't get treatment for the sadness. I hope you feel better very soon

Answer 4

I got really depressed when I hit puberty (around 11 years old? I'm 26 now). When your hormones start to influence how you look and things change socially (i.e., dating, girls get catty, etc.)--it's common to get depressed. And you're right, you can make yourself feel sad just by thinking about it--maybe one of the best ways to prevent depression is to avoid thinking it over (and over!). Try to listen to upbeat music, spend time with people who make you laugh, and get some exercise (it raises your endorphins, or your "natural high"). If nothing else--if you're really depressed, talk to someone you trust and ask them to help you find some professional help. There are medications and different therapies that might work for you and it's nothing to be ashamed of. I hope something works.

Answer 5

Hormones are tricky things, particularly at puberty.

They often make us sad or moody.

Talk to your Mother about this, she probably has the same problems as they tend to be inhereted.

If it doesn't go away, it may be true depression, in which case you will need professional help.

Try going out in the fresh air and sunshine, get some exercise and treat yourself to small piece of chocolate as part of a mostly healthy diet, and hopefully you will be feeling better in no time at all!

Answer 6

This can most definately be the sign of the start of puberty. It can also most definately be a sign that you are, in fact, a pre-teen. (or a girl, lol) I feel like this off and on (and I'm 19). Usually, it's when it's around "that time", but sometimes it just pops up out of nowhere. My personality is highly hypersensitive, that could also be it for you. That just means you're sensitive to things happening around you and whatnot and can be easily upset by them.

Answer 7

When I am about to start my period or am on it, it seems like I am more depressed than usual. If it doesn't go away, I would ask to see a doctor. I also think you may be "over thinking". Thinking too much about it, which like you said is making you more upset. You should be fine and it won't last forver, you are only 12. :) Good luck and cheer up! :)

Answer 8

I might be depression. It won't hurt to ask your parent to take you to a specialist just to make sure it's not depression and it's only because you are going through puberty. The reason of this is because if it is depression, it will not go away by itself, and if it goes on untreated, it will only get worse.

Answer 9

yeah, I went through the same thing. I would cry, and tell my self "why the hell am I so sad!!" Its really wierd, but you can get over it. Always think positive, and try to go out more. This way you dont think about stuff..and eventually you will overcome it. Also, try getting a hobby, a sport, any clubs? But only one cuz u dont want to get too stressed.

Answer 10

i understand your have an age selection yet i needed to pass into this it fairly is typical to stress yet to no longer over subject. talk on your mom, or a counselor perhaps ought to help ease your emotions. Writing additionally works, write down precisely what your frightened of and you think of this style. I as quickly as had to stroll to college and that i did subject yet I consistently tried to be risk-free walk with a buddy or have a cellular telephone in hand. in specific talk on your mom.
