Would i be diagnosed with something?!


Question: Would i be diagnosed with something!?
okay from 3rd grade to about 10th grade i was always very depressed

when i was a kid i was always picked on, pretty much everyone hated me, i was always loney!.!.!.!. i drew disturbing pictures, like i drew me shooting myself with a gun and dying, i drew my body being cut apart by a chainsaw

and it progressed with disturbing poems and writing

through middle school (6th-8th) id go home crying almost every day, i was always bullied terribly, i was alway upset and made fun of, i had no friends, i cut my hair real short and everyone called me a boy and girls would chase me out of the bathroom, people would kick me and throw food at me!.!.!. they'd slap the back of my head when i wasnt looking, id over eat and became the fat girl in ballet class

9th and 10th grade was probably the worst
i stopped eating for about 9 months because i just lost the will to keep myself alive, i started cutting myself, out of anger i guess, i fought constantly with my parents and i was an emotional mess


ofcourse throughout the years, teachers discovered the drawings, and social workers found my journals, they all suggested i get help

but my mom refused to do anything about it, she believe that taking me to see someone would cause more of a problem, and that 'd let those things effect me and slow me down

in 11th grade, i started going out with my boyfriend (this sounds very typical) but he really did make me better

people in school noticed that i calmed down a lot, i stopped being so moody, i stopped the violent and destructive behaviors

im still with him and we love eachother very much, but since i went away to college, i dont get to see him, and i feel everything coming back

it's very scary, because when i was younger, there were always teachers and doctors and parents keeping an eye on me to deter me from doing anything too serious to myself

now that im at college, no one really gives a crap what i do to myself, theres no one here to stop me
i already got a hold of a pair of scissors the other day and my arms and legs dont look too happy and ive lost 10 pounds again

in all seriousness, i dont think this is a matter of "growing up" i really think that there is something wrong with me

i need actual human intervention, but i wont get any of that here

im wondering if i were to go see someone (which i'm not really willing to do, given that other social workers have invaded my privacy, i kind of HATE them now)
but if i were to go see a psychologist or psychiatrist or something, would they diagnose me with some kind of manic depression or something!?!?!? is there anyway to fix this so that im not like!.!.!. dead before i graduate!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
it sounds like clinical depression!. my best friend exhibited many of the same symptoms you're describing!. she would cut herself and write really disturbing poetry about her dieing!. we made her get help and they diagnosed her with clinical depression!. she was skeptical at first because she thought the meds would make her a zombie, but they didn't and she's really better when she's on them!. you do need to get help for that!. it sounds like a chemical imbalance, not something you can do just change!. please talk to someone, tell your boyfriend whats happening and get help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would definitely look into seeing a psychologist (and psychiatrist, if your psychologist thinks you may need to be on meds)!. i'm not exactly sure what they would diagnose you with, but i'm sure depression will be one of them!. i know that you have trust issues with social workers, but maybe having a fresh start with someone new (and someone who's a psychologist) will help!. i've dealt with some of the issues you described, and therapy has helped a lot!. it is a long process though! good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are not the first person to experience these things!. I'm a bit angry with your mother!!!! I don't think she protected you when you needed protecting!. I don't think she was ever there for you!. When you had the chance to express yourself, she didn't do anything to help you feel better!. I am very upset with your mom!.
Now, you are an adult, you haven't resolved NOTHING from the past!. It doesn't sound like you learned anything either!. YOU HAVE more control now!. You don't have to hang out with those stupid people who bullied/harassed/intimidated/embarassed you all through your school years!. No, YOU get the chance to start over!. WHY repeat those miserable years!?!?!?!?
Because you do get a new start in life, you may need meds!. It's okay! You'll feel better about life!. You may even start to see that you can have some fun in it!. You don't have to be so serious all the time!. I really don't think you created your problem but the way your body chemistry is made!. I'd even bet this condition runs in the family!.
So!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.it's your choice!. Life or death!!!! You have the ultimate decision!. You have always had that decision!. If you choose to life, do something about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Is there a counselor you can talk to at the school you attend!? I would start there and see if they can help you out!. You will feel a lot better if you get on some anti-depressant medicine!. Seems like you have a lot of anxiety!. Hang in there!. Things will get better once you figure out the diagnosis & get treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

every campus has counselors available to the students!. I would go ask someone where the building is so that you can see one of them asap before you end up really harming yourself!. It sounds as if you want the help, now you just gotta go find it!. Sometimes talking about it helps so go find those counselors! Good luck to you and be safe!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, if you really keep falling, you either have to change the way you view things (which is really hard) or you have to get professional advice (though it may be expensive)!. First, you have to try to change your views, which should help you get less depressed!. If people continue to shun you aside, you should not take it in a negative aspects!. Life goes on!. If you can't pull yourself out of your situation, then your final option is to go to a professional!. If you need help, try to ask a friend or a teacher; they will be there to support you!.
