HELP please! Am I depressed, should I drop out?!


Question: HELP please! Am I depressed, should I drop out!?
Yeah so I'm usually an extremely happy person who likes school and likes being social and never gets sick or cries or anything, but for the past few days all I want to do is curl up in bed and cry all day!. I'm not sure why but I've lost interest in just doing anything!. I've also lately been throwing up a lot and I haven't really eaten much!. Is it because I just started a new school that I don't really like and the commute to that school is really long!? I have lots of friends, my classes are great but I just don't feel happy there at all!. I literally have to keep from crying the whole day, even though I'm usually just in class or laughing with my friends!. I've been there for about four days already and I pretended I was sick so I could leave just so I could take a much needed break, and it's only been four days into the school year! Also, how do I tell my parents this!? This school is EXTREMELY expensive (my parent's already paid this years $55,000 tuition in full) and I'm afraid that if I drop out they won't get their money back and be mad!. Also they are already mad at me because I left school early because I was sick, how am I supposed to tell them I was faking!? Someone PLEASE help, I really need it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm a former middle school English teacher with a Master's degree in English, and what you wrote here is very well written for someone of your age!. Print this off and show it to someone you can trust!. If it's not one of your parents, give it to a teacher or guidance counselor you trust!. If you still have contact with any of the teachers at your last school, contact them!. You need to get a responsible adult to talk to your parents (if you can't) to get some help for you!. You sound very depressed!. There are very good medications and counseling available, and the sooner, the better!. You can get better!. I was diagnosed with major depression my senior year of high school, and I went on to graduate with honors and awards!. I had to have my high school counselor talk to my parents and tell them I needed help!. I also got through college and graduate school, but I got lots of counseling to help me through!.

Best wishes to you!. I know you're going through a hard time right now, but if you get the help you need and deserve, things will get better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
