I feel depressed ..

Hello .. Im a soon to be 16 year old girl, I think you should know more about me so you would understand my problem better. I’m the perfect daughter that anyone could ask for, says everyone. I have very good grades, im the oldest between my siblings, and for some reason everyone thinks im very tough. They feel like I can deal with anything, which I may sometimes fake a lot but, im not. I feel very very weak and depressed, I’ve been having a lack in my energy I don’t like talking to anyone, hanging out a lot with my friends. I like being lonely, reading a book or just crying myself to sleep. I have been acting this way for almost 3 months, I try to make things as normal as possible when im around my parents .. I sometimes can’t wait until I grow up I have thoughts of living in a different country and just run away from my life. When I think about my life, its just not .. not .. not what I want it to be. I have everything anyone wants and more (materials I mean) from the outside people would go like why the hell does she need to be depressed for .. I want to run away to a different place, I want to be alone, not around anyone who I have to fake happiness for. I feel sad.

I can’t find anyone to talk to, I have many close friends but im the friend who listens to the trouble of others and keep her trouble to herslef, it gotten out of control, im just typing and I can’t look at the letters on the keyboard because of the tears in my eyes. I don’t know what to do, who to tell, I need help …

Answer #1

I know exactly what youre going through. and I know that sounds taboo and cliche, but I do.

I’m 15 and I’ve been feeling like that since I was 11. just like you I was always considered to be the perfect little girl, the person everyone looked up to, the girl every parent hoped their daughter would be like ect. I’ve had straight As since I was in 6th grade and never had anything below a B. Unlike you I don’t have a ton of material possesions, but thats not the issue.

what it sounds like is that you feel deprieved of something. talking to your doctors may be a bit extreme and believe me I know that talking to a parent about this is the hardest and worse of all and I don’t necessarily suggest it. if you feel comfortable with them though then you should.

as far as your friends go, you should tell them!! it took me a while to realize this too, but if theyre your friends they’ll love you and even though they may not understand what youre going through they will help as much as they can and wont think about you any different than before. if they do think of you differently than you may want to consider getting some new friends.

BE YOURSELF. IF SOMEONE DOESN’T LIKE WHO YOU ARE ITS THEIR LOSS AND YOU CAN DO BETTER.

I really hope that I helped. if I didn’t or you just wanna chat or something messege me :)

Answer #2

you are most likely at your prime in the stages of becoming a woman :) so your hormones are making you wacky im guessing. use this site’s search engine for topics that might have answers or insight, make friends here and there are many people on this site that can relate this so you’re not alone. give it some time and think real real hard before you decide to see a doctor to go on medications. do you think you really need it?

Answer #3

Why not talk to your mom about it and get meds for the depression because you have no point to your depression. Anyone can talk but it takes skill to listen. Even to your self. Im the same as you but were two very different people. I know faking can get tiring and annoying. But instead of faking why not go places you like? Eat your fav meals? Litlle things to brightin up your day? Or be thankful that your smart with good grades and arent poor. See your doc, or channle your depression..maybe draw or write?

Answer #4

It doesn’t sound as though you have cause to be depressed, but clearly you are…

This could very well be a medical condition.

You really need to talk to your mom about this and have her take you to the doctor…it’s quite common for teenagers to fall into depression - there’s a lot going on in your body right now, and it can knock your whole personality off hilter.

Try to take some comfort in knowing that there’s a lot of girls out there going through the exact thing you are, but you need to do something about it. Seeing the doctor is a good first step.

Answer #5

Maybe You’re not really happy with all that you have. Maybe you’re still trying to find yourself like I am. I’m almost 15 and im having a hard time in my life. It’s hard to be a teenager and I’m only in my second year of finding all this out and I know there’s more to come but all we can really do is pray that gradually it will get better for us. I don’t know how much this will help you but just keep in mind that no matter what even if you’re not a christian god is always there for you no matter what. then again…I guuess I should take my own advice once in a while
