Depression?

[Shantei]

I think I am depressed and it's really getting to me tonight. There's so much that's gone on in my life between my family that there just simply aren't enough characters to provide any details, nor do I wish to advertise it really. I'm sorry if people are tired of hearing these.I am 16, just about to enter 6th form (college). I generally worry about loads of shit .. friends around me at school used to say I always looked depressed, and I wasn't even aware of it. Sometimes I lack the effort to talk in conversation. Just can't be bothered, If anyone criticises or plays a joke with me, I can easily take offence to it and can put me off for the rest of the day. I'm very prone to this feeling and I really feel like shite tonight. I'm not sure how to do deal with it. Talking with family isn't really an option btw.

yea sounds like depression but you don't always need meds just try talking to family and friends about it or maybe going to counseling.

I was depressed for years although it was only diagnosed recently. Ive been on several different meds but they are only a short term thing, they worked for a couple of moths and the I felt down again.Try to find someone you trust with whom you can talk eg: OLDER friend; school counsellor; teacher; doctor; there are also a number of hotlines that you can call to chat with a proffesional.It is important that it is someone older because people your age are most likely not going to be able to deal with your emotions so although its good to takl to a friend, make sure you choose wisely.Good Luck
