Hi everybody, I hope you're fine
First of all, excuse me if I have any mistakes, I am not a native speaker
Well, I just found this website and signed in, so this is my first post. And what got me here, as I said in the title, I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't even know how to describe it or where to begin. I just feel sad and depressed all the time, but I do have my family and friends who love me, and I'm happy for it and glad that I do, but at the same time, I just wish I was alone, and once I am, I overthink about everything, and it's driving me crazy. I just wish I could go to school and study, but with an invisibility cloak so I won't talk to anyone. It's seriously making my days terrible, since I can't concentrate in class, until my friend "wake me up" , and this year and the following are the most important in our high school years. Beside, I day dream a lot, and I also have suicidal thoughts from times to times. I just don't know what's wrong with me. Should I be concerned or not? Is it normal what I feel? Should I seek for a professional help? I don't want to tell my parents because they'll think I'm crazy or I don't know. Because I used to cut myself 3 or 4years ago, and they knew it, but it was a year after I stopped, and since the day they found out, they became suspicious and careful about whether to announce me some news or not, and I hate it
Anyway, I just want to know what is it. Are they other people? How to stop it? Thank you so much , and excuse my long text

Hello Gnroses: I'm sorry you are experiencing this difficulty. We here on PC cannot diagnose you. Our purpose here is to provide one another with support & to share experiences.

Professionals in the field of mental health tell us that, to a large extent, depression is caused by imbalances in neurochemicals in the brain. So assuming this is the case, then one can certainly have a good family & friends as well as a secure life & still struggle with depression. From my perspective, the important thing here is that you are experiencing some things that are quite troublesome for you. So I would say talking all of this through with a mental health therapist, or similar mental health professional (depending on what is available to you where you live), would be a good idea. Continuing to read through various posts, here on PC, may also help you to gain perspective with regard to what's going on with you.

Anyway... I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. There are many knowledgeable & caring members here. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!

Hi
welcome and keep coming back I used to be the same way in school no matter how hard I tried to focus on my class I couldn't I have to be doing something I like working physical jobs to occupy my mind maybe you are like that. Do they have school counselors you can talk too.

In a way I would say it's normal for some people to be going through what you're going through, yes, but the trick is to focus your thoughts on other things as well, not negative things, when you get depressed sometimes. Maybe hang out with your friends a bit more, go to the beach or a nature walk, or just read a book. Keep expanding your mind.
