Is it depression?!
Question:
Is it depression?
I started drinking a lot about 3 months ago. Ever since then I've been drunk every week, sometimes more than once a weekend. I've also been abusing pain killers, and in the past 1-2 month(s) I started cutting myself, and now I feel that it's getting a bit more serious. I'm only 15 but the reason why I do these things is because I feel alone,and as if nobody ever listens to me. When I do talk about my feelings to my sisters they just usually say "aww" and then change the subject. I hate when people say "I love you" yet they can't prove it, I can't feel love from anybody even if they say it everyday. I don't want to ruin my future in any way but sometimes there's no other way to fill in the void. I can't tell my parents or anybody about my cutting problem,some people already know I drink. I just don't know what's wrong with me but lately I hate everyone and everything bcuz of certain changes/obstacles in my life. Am I depressed or just messed up? Opinions and help. Thanks.
Answers:
I think you're depressed. Teenage-hood is a bummer. The good news is it could be hormones that are triggering your outlook. It's good news because it will change. I may humbly recommend sports or physical exercise of some kind? Also, you may want to consider talking with a physician. I have cut myself in the past to "feel" something. Also for attention from the one person I needed approval from. Now I don't even know him, but I still have little scars. Wasn't worth it. Life is long.
