Could this be causing my depression?!


Question: Could this be causing my depression?
I'm not like bad depressed or anything, and I would never do anything to harm myself. But idk why I feel depressed.. I'm a cheerleader, in the company at the dance studio I go to, have plenty of friends, but, my parents are bad alcoholics. I cry myself to sleep quite often, and some days just feel like staying in my room and doing nothing. I read diet can cause depression, but I eat pretty well? For breakfest, I had an orange and milk, lunch a turkey sandwich and carrots, and dinner I had chicken enchiladas from a mexican restaurant. Could the alcoholic parents be causing this? Should i get help? I really don't know what to do anymore ..
Thanks everyone in advance.

You have the most justified reason in the world to feel depressed. The two most important people you are suppose to rely on and feel protected from have betrayed your trust. You do need to seek professional help from "children of alcoholic parents". They will help you cope with this issue and you will find that closure missing which is causing that depression.



Yess. You could feel that way cause of them. And if i were you i wouldn't exactly look for help, just talk to people. Talk to your guidance counselor and see what they say. And how's your love life? It can be that you like someone but are hiding it or you just want someone. But try to look at happy things (: Before i was kinda gloomy in school but then i found out if i go surfing (i love surfing) at least once a week it made me happier. I'm not saying go out and get a surf board, but find something that makes you happy and do it. Like listening/playing musicc.



Pray for comfort and ask God to heal your sufferings. If those were my parents, I would take them Alcoholics Anonymous or counseling.



I grew up in a home where my step father was a weekend drunk,and i mean from friday evening to Sunday. It was a constant battle that some times got physical. I'll give him credit in that i never saw him strike my mother but usually took his anger out on me. I was called a lot of names and so forth. The point i'm trying to make by sharing is i too battled depression and it caused me to do a lot of bad things which i'm not any to proud of.

My advise for what it is worth is if your able to get out of the home would be a start, and not to look for any instant miracles to help you but accept the fact that your angry your confused and depressed and seek professional help. Depression is normally a mental condition that leaves one with a empty feeling. Another thing that worked for me was finding friends that made me laugh,as it is true laughter is the best medicine. I just hope you've not used drugs as they will only add to your problems unless of course there a prescription from a doctor. Good luck pray a lot and spend time in quiet solitude in a Church reflecting on your life and talking with God..
