Am i normal?!
Question:
Am i normal?
earlier this year i was very social and i loved laughing and talking to people. Now im so reserved all the time. i have so much fun just laying on my bed staring at my wall doing nothing. when someone talks to me i get annoyed.I have completely stopped talking to people at school except of hi or other simple stuff. And im always feeling depressed and i have been crying more than ever in the last 2 months. I was always the type of girl that hardly ever cried. Now all i ever do is lock myself up in my room and listin to my i-pod all day long. I love putting my hair infront of my face so no can see me because i think my face is ugly. Before i was so confident about myself. My mom died when i was young and my dad never really cared about me. He's on vacation with his girlfriend so there is no one who can really say anything about me being in my room all alone all day. I have three older brothers who are exactly like me right now. Im turning into them. Is this normal
Answers:
It sounds to me like you are suffering from major depression, Brittney . You would be wise to speak with your father about setting an appointment for you with both a psychologist (for psychotherapy) and a psychiatrist (for medication). Living life under the veil of depression is a horrific experience, to be sure. You don't have to live this way, however. With treatment, you CAN have your life back.
Best of luck,
