Am i depressed or is this just part of being a teen?!
Question: I get "depressed" often. I dont feel like I can really tell my parents stuff, and on top of that they get mad at me for not talking to them. Plus, recently a boy I really liked (loved) moved away, just as we were starting a relationship. My parents are happy about this, because he was our neighbor.
When I used to be around this boy, everything would seem okay, but he's the one who moved and thats one reason why Im almost always sad.
I've always thought of what my parents would do if I died, or how they would react if I committed suicide and if they would feel bad.
I've considered depression and and being bipolar but Im not sure. The fact that I have thought about how people would react to me committing suicide scares me, but I have never thought of actually committing it.
Do you think I should seek help, or is this just any case of being a teen?

yeah its part of being a teen...but i wouldnt rule out the possibility of depression or slight "bipolarness" if thats a word lol
but basically what i can say is to wait it out...ive thought of what it would be like if i commited suicide i even thought about commiting suicide but i just waited it out...found a best friend and shared my thoughts and secrets with him...
as for the boy...stay in contact not a long dist. relationship that'll make it worse...just contact like phone..email w/e
if your a teen you prabably more than likely would have broken up or found someone else by then...you got your whole life to meet new people so dont start settling so soon!
straight up i know but just calm down and focus on your needs and valubles...life goes on with out bf's focus on school and making right choises
its probably for the best that he moved away...God has his reasons...he probably saved you from a mistake that you could've made with him living so close...
hope i helped if you have any more q's, if i didnt cover anything or your fuzzy on some stuff or if you just want to talk im here for ya!

the teen years are the worst, in my opinion. hormones are a b*tch. if you feel like you are going to hurt yourself, seek help, but it could just be a phase.
damn wow i been dealing with tha same stuff. except theres not really a boy in tha picture. ive just had trouble with friends or w.e . my x best friend hurt me and blah blah blah long story. but yeuh i do wonder like if i ever commited suicide, what would my parents think? what would other people think? they piss me off so bad and yeuh ive been depressed ever since i moved 3 yrs ago. and now i dont kno how to deal with it and i picked up drinking and smoking ciggerettes. thats how i try to deal with it . not a good idea tho. but now my dad is trying to put me in counceling becuz i dont talk to my mom. i just feel so alone and im so done with being depressed that i just dont even wanna talk about it like i just feel like i been thinking bout ending my life so much that i just want to be put on pillz and i choose not to care anymore.
but my advice to yu is to think about things, dont over think about things tho. and just do what you want. maybe talk to a friend about wat yur going through. hopefully its just a phase and things will get better for you hun. if anything yu can talk to me/email me anytime
good luck
Life is full of this kind of up and down. Your journey to this long life road is just started. I suggest you to keep yourself busier than before by making the new friends, getting in more social activities or even talking about your feeling with whoever U feel comfortable. U will get over it. Bad experience only make your grow up stronger and faster. You always learn sth from it.
well....no you aren't bipolar at all.
reason why: bipolar disorder is defined by having both extreme highs and lows. extreme lows would be mild-severe depression and have anxiety problems....then extreme highs would be like...anger/rage...bad temper/tolerance problem.....pressured speaking, very hyper, financially screwed because of excess spending when manic, a natural high feeling,etc.
so...you don't have bipolar.
you're just depressed....you haven't gotten over the boy you really had a big connection with...and yes, it sucks butt...but sometimes you need to hold your chin up high and carry on. you do not need to commit suicide because of this, what if that boy found out? you realize he would be torn? plus your parents,friends,other family members would be messed up too.
bipolar disorder isn't triggered because of something like that...trust me, you'd be a lot worse than just havin a broken heart....it's just part of being a teenager...i'd like to say my bipolar disorder is hormones too...but unfortunately it is not.
just move on...that's all you can do.
