I need help.. I think I'm going through depression?!
Question: I need help!.!. I think I'm going through depression!?
Well, almost a week ago, me, my mom, and my father moved into a new house, about 30 minutes away from our old home!. I was forced to leave my dog Pete with the new owners!. I lived in our old home for about 3 years!. Ever since we moved, I've been feeling lonely, sad, afraid of what's happening next!. And another thing, my parents are slowly going through a divorce!. I mean, I do want them to divorce because I know either of them are happy in their position!. They bicker at eachother constantly, and I always feel like they are putting me in the middle!. I was just put into Home Study recently, which is basically Home School!. I am happy with this, but ever since we moved, I just feel lazy, and like I don't want to do work!. I don't exactly know how to explain my feelings, someone give me advice!? :(Www@Answer-Health@Com

On a positive note (i guess not positive) your depression sounds like you have good reason to be depressed!. When life is good and you are still depressed that is when you are likely suffering clinical depression!. I think you should try and do something nice for yourself!. Give yourself a day off!. Pick a day and convince yourself that you will not worry about the divorce or anything else!. Go to the mall, do some shopping or just hangout with friends!. Tell your parents that all that has been going on is making you feel bad and on that day you don't want to worry about anybodys problems you just want to have some fun!. Everybody needs some "me" time and it may be just the thing to give you a boost!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
well!.!. dont put yourself in the middle of your parents divorce!.!.
also since you just moved you might not have friends to interact with!.!. affecting your depression!.!.
I dont think home schooling is a good way for you to go!.!. Going to a real school would actually help you interact with other people and make friends in your new neighborhood!.
So go out and meet some new people!.!. Also this is a good way to get out of the house and not deal with the drama your parents are going through!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yea you're going through a little bout of depression, and you have valid reasons to be depressed!. But you can't dig yourself into a hole, by not doing schoolwork or alienating yourself from family and friends because that will only make that hole bigger and harder to get out of!. You just need to try very hard to live like you would normally live, and not let depression boss you around and paralyze you!. Different things work for different people as far as battling depression; I wrote music, a lot of people say to exercise, and even prescription drugs they got now help balance out your emotions !. And this is going to sound weird, but one of the things that prolonged my depression was the type of music I listened to!. So that may be a factor!. But also, Try to remember how small humans really are though, and how beautiful the world is, and how lucky you are that you have lungs that can breathe in air and eyes that can see!.!.!.!.!.

well, you have a number of factors that will cause a temporary depression!. if it has been going on more than two or three weeks-go to a doctor! it can become a permanent problem!. i see you are in the middle of divorcing, fighting parents!. i see you have recently moved and left a good friend [your dog] and you are being home schooled!. moving alone can be one of the worst stressers there is!. being home schooled does not give you the interaction with others as does a public school!. maybe try to connect with other home schoolers or volunteer somewhere that involves meeting people!. check your local community center, if you have one and take a class or join a sport!. you are feeling isolated because right now your parents are preoccupied and you have moved away from friends and being home schooled isolates you even more!. again if this does not stop within a few weeks-go to your doctor!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
