[The Fox & the Hound]

I can never make Decisions
I regret so many things
I can never be happy
I'm always thinking of suicide
I can't stay in relationships
I have no energy
I can't have fun
I have no motivation to do anything. I'm failing in school because I don't care
I feel worthless & hopeless
I'm overwhelmed by everything
I'm losing interested in things
I always want to sleep
I sometimes wake up disorient,& confused. Feel like

I'm sorry you're having a tough day, The Fox & the Hound, but I'm glad you're posting about it. We're here for you. Keep posting.

First let me send you some **HUGS** (sounds like you need them). And you deserve them.

Now, with all due respect.....
CHILL OUT........ You are a kid.

You do not need to make decisions yet. There is time for that.

Happiness is self determined. What I enjoy, you may hate. And what you like I may find dull.

You do not need to be in a relationship - it will happen.

Energy and worthlessness and motivation are all simply part of being depressed. Let's work on kicking you out of your depression - then I think those things will all be okay.

Hope that came out as positive advice and not nagging.... You will be okay - just give it time.

Sounds like me, except for the relationship. As many times as I've hurt my husband most would have dumped me long ago. I regret I can't love him like he deserves, but I can't seem to love either, except for my daughter.

I'm sorry you are going through all this. Wish there was something I could do to help. Words just seems like they are not enough but if you need someone to talk to you can always PM me. I'd be glad to listen.

I think she is listing symptoms. Does it sound like depression to you? Serious question.

Of course she has depression. And I hope she (and anyone else) knows that I am not making light of the pain that she is suffering.

I just would hope that she could realize that some of her stressors COULD be put aside. Maybe less stress could help her in other areas. At least that is my hope for her.

I'm really not sure if it's depression anymore. I don't know though.

I think it's definitely depression, unfortunately. Thoughts of suicide, can't have fun, no happiness, no motivation? Sounds like a classic case of depression (although I'm no psychiatric expert).

I 100% agree

Foxy, the only way to know for sure is to get some help in real life. The things you list are emotions that are all perfectly normal for a person to experience from time to time without ever suffering from depression. Only a medical professional can give a diagnosis. Until you ask for help irl you'll never know whether you have depression, until then there is PC, where we offer our advice and support.

I understand.

I hate that everything is happening at the same time.

I hope it's not depression. Hopefully I can get help soon.

[Altered Moment]

I see like nine of those things listed as symptoms of depression. Whether it is really clinical depression, hard to say. Could be thyroid, could be raging hormones. If it is real depression it is hard to pinpoint exact causes as it is so complex. They should check thyroid first and probably put you on a birth control pill to regulate hormones.

I hope you get help soon.

Don't let a fear of being diagnosed put you off getting help. Depression is very treatable and usually responds well to meds and or therapy, especially if you are young.

Zinco is right you should get checked over physically to rule out other causes and if it is any of the things he mentioned they are all treatable too.

I'm afraid of what people will say, if I depression. I'm scared what they'll say I have a meds. Plus I'm terrified to tell anyone.

You don't have to tell anyone other than a doctor and doctors have a duty to maintain your confidentiality. You certainly don't need to tell anyone about what meds you take. Assuming that you were prescribed anti-depressants then usually they are just one pill a day that you could take first thing in the morning or last thing at night so nobody would see.

Ok . I'm still really scared. What if people ask about the pills?

[Altered Moment]

Who is gonna ask? Who is gonna know? It is none of their business. If they ask you say it is none of your business or say it is birth control or aspirin.

If you have depression you are starting out on a process of acceptance. It takes a long time but you are starting a journey and you don't know what twists and turns the journey will take. The journey is not really good or bad, it just is. Ups a downs along the way.

I'm just paranoid that people will figure out.

It will take be forever to expect that I have depression,& I don't know why.

[Altered Moment]

It takes along time for all of us. No one wants to admit there is something wrong with us especially at your age. If you take a pill for it you are partly accepting there is something wrong. Fully accepting it and embracing it takes a long time. Maybe the reason you are having a hard time getting help is that you are having a really hard time accepting that something is wrong. And then the stigma of worrying about what other people will think once you do admit it to yourself. You are moving along in that process. There are many people out there who do understand and care. You will find them. First step is to get professional help and no one has to know about that. Early intervention is really key. You might get successfully treated right away and not have to worry about it. When you are feeling good you don't really think about all this crap.

(((((fox)))))
Good luck.

[The Fox & the Hound]

I have therapist appointment tomorrow. I really want to tell him, but always end up not telling her.

[Idiot17]

Try your best telling him. How about writing it before your session and giving it to him if that's easier for you.think of the relief you'll feel once you've actually brought it out.
Good luck.

Opps, I meant her.

That might be easier, but I'd like face to face. Just me I guess. I'm always like, I'll tell her. Then I don't cause I get scared..

[Idiot17]

I know that feeling....why don't you give her a written paper with just basic topic saying you want to tell her stuff yet you find it difficult. Then you'll speak about it face to face with her.
Gather the courage you have and do it!
Good Luck.

[Altered Moment]

What don't you want to tell? And what are willing to tell?
