Hello, my name is John and I'm feeling very sad lately.

I think it all started with my ADD, I don't have a medical diagnostic but I'm pretty sure.My ADD made my social life hard, I feel traped inside my house, my only "true" friends never want to get out, and the things that I like to do are not making the same excitement as they did before(guitar, videogames, reading). I feel that I'm wasting my teenagehood because I can't get a girlfriend, and I'm obessesive in having one, I blame that on my low ability to show emotions and my lack of trust for new people that I met, but I dind't quit and I try everyday to meet new people.

I used to have OCD, I was pretty crazy with washing hands and all, but I fought that and got over with it,

I don't want to feel depressive and not be able to have concentration but I don't want to be in Heavy drugs and would be cool not to spend all my money on it

It sounds to me John that you're pretty depressed. Not feeling the same excitement for the things you used to like, and just feeling all "blah" about things -- that's depression. Is there any way you can ask your folks to let you see a therapist, i.e. a psychologist? Do you think they'd make an appointment for you? You really need to talk to someone. You have to make sure they know it's not just a "teenage thing" -- that it goes deeper than that.

Try to talk to your parents. Hopefully they'll make an appointment for you. In the meantime, keep posting here, because the people here really understand, ok? Take care John, and I hope to hear more from you. God bless. Hugs, Lee

JJ, I think you should talk to your parents or school counselor, too. Depression is common among teenagers, and it won't be a waste of time or money to see a therapist or a doctor. You are worth it. Every aspect of life improves when your depression has lifted.
