I would definitely suggest professional help.
If you really do have depression, it's a chemical imbalance, and it's something you can't fix on your own.
Maybe you may need some medication to help boost you up out of this depression....
... it definitely sounds like you aren't yourself lately.
If you trust someone older and/or someone with the power to put things in place for you to get help, take advantage of it.
Keep hanging in there! You're doing the right thing by asking for help!
Go to a doctor if your really conserned and you may have it or your just getting a depression finally. I get depressed 3 days out of a month or two months and other than that im perfectly happy and giddy and everything. So you might have depression but unless your really worried dont fret about it so much. try to bring stuff from your life you love doing, being around friends/bf's, singing, listening to music, etc. and you might not feel down so much! good luck!! :)
I have anxiety disorder myself so I understand what you're going through. I get anxious and depressed myself sometimes. I visited a shrink the first time i felt that way, and it didn't help me at all, even though i vented all my negative thoughts to the doc. I wouldn't recommend taking any anti-depressants either, because I've heard that they just further increase negativity and even self-destructive thoughts. (I never took any myself because of what i heard). If your boyfriend doesn't give you any support, then what's the point of being with him?
If you would like to talk to me further, feel free to message me.
You must work at not thinking about what you don't have and appreciate and be thankful for what you do have. Your thoughts are yours to choose so choose wisely as to what you are thinking about.
You don't mention a major event or change that could have triggered this but I am willing to bet something or several somethings over timeoccurred in your life to bring you to this point. Figure out what it is and deal with it - seek counseling if needed.
Depression over all is very selfish and very self focused way to live, think and act. Your world becomes very small and focused all on yourself. Sometimes it is a natural expression of an event like the death of a loved one or a large change in ones' life but will subside with time and help. Only you can help yourself and be willing to get it. No one can ever do that for you. We must all get into the drivers seat of our lives and make it happen. If you give others the rights to drive, you will only experience their dreams and miss yours.
I don't know how old you are, I am going to guess high school to maybe college. Unless you determine otherwise, this most likely has nothing to do with your BF but with how you are reacting to your world and life. Breaking up isn't the answer but talking to him openly and being honest with yourself and him is a start. He is probably feeling rejected by you and confused. Talk to him.
Go and volunteer your time somewhere to get your eyes and mind off yourself and saddness. Volunteering can be the greatest gift you give yourself - it is very rewarding. God has blessed you with many talents and ablities - find them, use them and feel your confidence and self worth grow.
For me when I went thru a horrid depression due to a divorce and many other big, big things happening at once, I sought help and I sought God. Both were instrumental to my being a better person today and finding not just happiness but Joy in my soul. It is wonderful to have a deep joy from God that no matter what happens I am in His care and He is with me thru it all. He has answered many prayers and we have gotten thru many struggles. I have hope.
Here is to you finding Hope, Joy, Peace and your purpose in life that God created you for.
Depression runs in my family too so I know exactly what you are going through.
Yes, it sounds like you may have some degree of depression. Please talk to your mom or another trusted adult about getting some help. There are medications and/ or therapies that can and DO work.
Everyone is going to go through depression in there lifetime.
You should talk to a counseler so you can get help before it becomes severe.
