Am I fighting Depression?

Okay so lately I have been feeling really hart-, hart broken, not because of a break up, just a major crush. And lately I have just been feeling really sad and some of my vrienden are starting to notice. I don't want to talk to my mom about it because it would just be awkward for me. I talk to my vrienden about issues. I just want to know if this constant lonliness (sorry about spelling) and sadness and unable to feel happy is the start of a depression. Do u think it is? If so is there way I can fight it off? Thanks!!!

I think that u could look at it as depression, but that doesn't mean that it's anything dangerous.

Depression can have different kinds of "phases", if u think about it. Having it doesn't mean that something is wrong with u and that u need psychiatric help; there are those that are just feeling down and need some motivation. It's normal for u to be talking to your vrienden and avoiding your mom, as that's also a stage. I think that u should at least try to talk to her anyway, however. I'm sure that she would be able to help u as well.

It's also normal to feel lonely, but I wouldn't count that as depression in your case. I think that, with the crush that u have, u just want to be with him and u feel as if u don't want to be alone anymore. That's perfectly normal; I felt that once before, and I'm sure if u asked some others, they'll say they felt the same way at some point in their lives. I think that this could count for your sadness and "inability to feel happy".

Whether of not u think this is depression, don't panic. You're not doing anything dangerous, and furthermore it's a normal phase in life. In order to "fight this off", just talk to your vrienden and at least attempt to talk to your mother about it. Yes, I know u zei that it's awkward, but it doesn't hurt to try things. What I've read here isn't anything dangerous of life-threatening, so I don't think that u need to go to a psychiatrist/psychologist. I don't think that u need a counselor either, but if u believe that will help you, then be my guest. Go outside often and get fresh air, and take some walks. Be with your vrienden and do things that will make u forget about this sadness; I went through some of this too. It should help u out to some extent. Don't be afraid to experiment with other things either.

Good luck to you, and feel free to ask any other vragen that u may have.

Its difficult to tell really on a computer screen however if u are now not doing things u enjoy because u are feeling down then may be u are. In which case u need to think about things u enjoy doing to take your mind away from the problem. Also write down how and why u are feeling like it and when it happens see if there is a pattern like for instance u only feel down on week days of u only feel down when u have not done something u enjoy. door writing how u feel down u may find u can then forget about it of at the very least put it to the back of your mind. I know at the moment that probably seems hard but it can work. So there are a few thoughts see how u get on and if u are still feeling it after u have tried some of them I do suggest talking to your mum of a teacher at school and then may be seeing if u can talk to your doctor. What may seem trivial to them always seems worse to the person it happens too. Trust me I know no one when I was little understood certain things I didn't want to do but I had good reason to feel it and its only now as an adult and I have explained things to them and now they understand. Good luck.
