Is this depression?

[Jareddude 62]

Okay guys, i'm serious on this.

- It takes me a long time to sleep every day

- I get irritated or upset very easily

- I cry a lot

- It feels like everyone hates me

- I'm always feeling sorry for myself for no reason

- Death has crossed my mind, as well as suicide (But i'd never do it)

- Losing interest in video games I love, like Zelda :[

- Tired a lot of the time

- My back hurts randomly (I heard this could have to do with it)

- Always feel bored and never want to hang out with anyone (Not that I even have anyone to hang out with, at all :'( )

- I thought about cutting myself

- Failing a few classes

- Can't concentrate in school, especially in the afternoon, and always want to sleep or draw

I'm getting surgery in about two weeks or next month, but I don't think that has to do with it.

It feels like...I have absolutely no strength to go on.

I know I seem like a good guy and such, but I feel like i'm not. I just want to curl up into a ball and die with no one around me, because I barely have friends anymore as it is.

I feel like I just want my life to be over.

Nobody on this site is a qualified psychiatrist (except maybe Skippy, I'm not sure) and even if somebody was a qualified psychiatrist, you can't diagnose depression over the internet. If you really think you might have depression, you should set up an appointment with a real-life qualified psychiatrist.

agreed

Teeenage angst.

[Jareddude 62]

I knew none of you would be serious about this (Besides Aethix)

puppy you all.

[Teto 2609]

To be fair t1g was serious

And I have nothing to say so I'm saying nothing

Except that yeah shut up being mean to Jared in this thread

Because it sucks anyway for him even if you think it's pathetic

[Teto 2609]

All I did was quote him.

wanna go

Yeah, there's not much advice I can give you besides go see an actual therapist.

Otherwise, you can try taking long walks out in the sunshine. That usually brightens my mood. Put on whatever music you love and some headphones, and just walk.

Also, find somebody and go out to eat with them or go to the movies or something. Just get away from being alone for awhile.

- It takes me a long time to sleep every day

+Go to bed later. Honestly, I had this exact same issue, except I was 10 when it was a problem.

- I get irritated or upset very easily

+Same. My advice here is to push your anger aside. Its the only reason I havent actually broken someone.

- I cry a lot

+Stop doing this. This only adds to your sadness.

- It feels like everyone hates me

+Not everyone hates you. If you need to talk, just ask. I have imported all ym facebook friends onto my phone, so I will call you if need be.

- I'm always feeling sorry for myself for no reason

+This is just a bad habit. Everyone goes through this stage, and you have to realize that if you feel sorry for yourself, you aren't changing anything. You will get past this.

- Death has crossed my mind, as well as suicide (But i'd never do it)

+Don't even think about this. You have so many friends and family members who care about you.

- Losing interest in video games I love, like Zelda :[

+Video games get boring, this is natural.

- Tired a lot of the time

+Caffine intake?

- My back hurts randomly (I heard this could have to do with it)

+Simple- Weak back muscles. You need to do physical labor and excersise to strengthen these. Also, get new shoes, you shoes can cause this issue as well.

- Always feel bored and never want to hang out with anyone (Not that I even have anyone to hang out with, at all :'( )

+puppying boredem. Worst thing ever. Summer is approaching quickly though, so this should fade.

- I thought about cutting myself

+Come on man, you are stronger than this.

- Failing a few classes

+School is tough. Get a tutor, try the NHS kids at a high school, they are usually more than willing to help, plus you make friends in the process.

- Can't concentrate in school, especially in the afternoon, and always want to sleep or draw

+I play chess on my phone in almost every class. Also, take an art class then.

Honestly, I didn't think GMP knew how to give advice. I'm impressed. Out of curiosity, did I end up on your phone, too?

[Jareddude 62]

That helps a lot, Pheonix. Thank you

What's your real name again? I forgot x3

[Teto 2609]

GMP is Phoenix

y'know, the right spelling.

Call him GMP

I'm pretty sure you're talking to GMP?

His name's Ryan.

[pheonix561 2080]

Yeah. I don't really deserve any credit for anything in this thread lol. Thanks a lot "GMP" would be more accurate.

[Jareddude 62]

Oh, i mean GMP, sorry xD
