14 year old depression?!
Question: 14 year old depression!?
According to many tests online and people, I may suffer from major depression, and I'm only turning 14 next month!. I mean, my family loves me, I don't come from an abused household!. However, all my life, I have this problem of taking things too seriously sometimes, and get really sensitive all the time!. If someone tells me something really insulting, I could start getting teary and sometimes even cry!. However, in front of my classmates, I am known as the happiest person ever, always laughing and stuff, however, I feel so down nowadays!. 2 nights ago, I cried until 1AM thinking that everyone hates me and that I'm not good enough for anyone!. I mean, I'm a pretty religious person and I never had a boyfriend or anything (and I believe I can live without one)!. I don't know why I've been so depressed lately!. I'm stressed about my schoolwork all the time, because I seem I can't concentrate with anything!. I'm stressed out about my body (not weight)!. I'm stressed about everything! Whats wrong!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Heyy Stranger in New York,
What you're feeling is normal for any teenager!. It doesn't mean you are depressed because if you were really depressed, your classmates wouldn't think you are the happy person I know you are!. :) School and life get tough but that's just normal!. Trust me!. I know what you're going through!.
So all you need to do is relax and take everything one step at a time!. And also, listen to some MJ music!. That makes everyone feel better!. lol

Do you know if you have any family history of mental illnesses!? Mental illness runs in my family, and I was diagnosed with depression and now am taking medication and I am better!. My uncle has schizophrenia, my grandma has bipolar, my mom is depressed, and my sister is bipolar!. My sister was diagnosed when she was only 15!. I was only 16 when I was diagnosed with depression, and I could not do anything about it because it was in my genes!. Check your family history and talk with your mom!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This too shall pass!.I came from a similar backround yet felt miserably depressed at times!.Your very sensitive!.That makes it tougher but not impossible to beat!.Part of it is hormonal and the teenage years can be really brutal that way!.Everything can seem up in the air,unresolved,conflicting,frustrating-i!.!.!. an emotional merry-go-round!.Seeing a psychologist isn't such a big deal anymore but be careful with anti-depressants at your age!. Hang in there,your growing and changing and better days are ahead-trite but true!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to talk to someone!. Your parents or a counselor!. I do believe you may have depression!. And they can help you with it!. I was and still am in the position you are in, but you can do something about it!. You can be the person everyone believes you to be; happy!. I think you should talk to your parents!. They will know what is best and they love you!. You need to get some help so that you can stop feeling like this!. I hope this helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Honey, I wouldn't say that you're in depression, or else all teens would be in it! At your age, it's completely normal to feel what you do, and you may just be more sensitive than others!. Don't worry though, only if this becomes a raging downward spiral that you can call it depression really!. And good for you that you are religious and waiting for that special someone, you will NOT be dissapointed!Www@Answer-Health@Com
