I was kicked out of home when I was 15 and haven't spoken to any of that aid of family until a few months ago! Now I just don't seem like myself any more and I don't know whether I'm just feeling sorry for myself because I get to find out info on my old family or am I actually suffering with depression. Any time I go out lately and I have a few drinks in me it's like I'm a completely different person. I start talking about suicide and I'm so aggressive to my friends that they're actually afraid of me! I don't know what's wrong with me anymore I'm not myself whether I'm sober or not. I've tried explaining to friends but they don't believe me because I still act like I used to when I'm around them! Please help any advice at all is very appreciated.
i cant tell you if you have depression or not. doing so is called making a diagnosis and we are not able to diagnose fellow members..

what I can say is that I know many 20-25 yr olds going through similar things and for them it is completely normal going into adulthood figuring out who I am feelings..

that said I also know many people who are 20-25 yr olds going through similar things/feelings and with ****them**** it is called many different things like

bipolar disorder
anemia
schizophrenia
depression
colds
flu's
psychosis...

and many other physical and mental health challenges.

if you google the things you have posted you will find thousands upon thousands of things/ mental disorders/physical health problems.

my suggestion is if this bothers you contact a treatment provider (medical doctor, therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist...) in your off line location. they can help you discover what this is called with in you and how best to treat it.
