Do I Have Depression... Or Some Kind of Problem. Posted: 10-04-07 21:30pm
This all started last year when my friends
ignored me for a couple of months, my
parents told my they were getting
seperated, and my best friend moved to
another country on the other side of the
world...
I get into these little moods and I think
about how suicide would be nice and how I
would do it and listen to my favorite song
while I brought a gun to my head. And I
just lay in my room for hours in the dark
listening to the same songs, crying.
Recently I started cutting my thighs, too.
I always hated my thighs so I thought I
would make them beautiful by carving
arrows and x's into them. It's not like I
make deep gashes intot hem or anything, I
just scratch the skin until it bleeds and
puffs up. During school I don't really
want to talk to people I just want to sit
there and draw or sleep, thne people get
irritated and ask why I'm always sad. I
just feel like lifes really boring and I
don't really like any of my friends
anymore.. thier so superficial. I also
restricted my calories to 500 because I'm
sick of being so fat and ugly, so now I
get headaches all the time and I just feel
tired. I don't really think I'm
depressed.. I just don't know anymore. I'm
confused, I guess. Could someone please
tell me whats wrong? Or willt his just go
away eventually.

It sounds like your still in HS... I used
to be close to the same, I didnt talk to
people in school, just absorbed myself in
books. I didnt have any friends either.
Boredom sounds like a major part of why
you are cutting yourself... You do need
to take a deep look inside yourself and
realize why it is you are feeling this
way... for me it was the loss of my father
when I was 10, after confronting and
realizeing what the problem is it becomes
a road of recovery, I would also talk to
councelors in school if you have any
available. If not, though its hard, tell
your parrent that you NEED to see a
councelor, if you dont feel like useing
the word theripist, When I was in HS I
found my councelors to be awesome,
extreamly helpful... And as for the diet
you have placed yourself on. Its a very
unhealthy one. I have taken dietary
classes and know how to build a good
diet... find your base line requirements.
And take off about 500 a day for calories,
NOT reduce it to 500, if you go that low,
you will actually run risks of passing
out... as well as harming your stomache as
it begins to feed off of your body
muscles. COnverting not fat, but muscle to
energy, since it burns a lot nicer... its
ok not to like your weight, but dealing
with it in a healthy way is key I lost almost 50
pounds just by watching the fat content of
what I ate... another big thing, cut fat
out of your diet, not ALL of it, but
things that are high in fat. I hope that
helped

Take positive action towards a solution so
that your negative emotions do not turn
inward on themselves, but instead turn
into positive ones.
You'll feel better about yourself as you
actively go looking for a solution.
Get out of your own head, take action, and
go see a professional therapist.

It sounds like you are depressed and also
have some body image issues. It's pretty
common in your age group. The bast thing
to do would to seek help. During
adolescence, sometimes the chemicals in
your brain that make you happy and sad can
get out of balance as well as adolescence
being a very emotional time in your life.
It sounds like medications may help you
and you can talk to your doctor about
that, you won't have to be on them
forever, just until you get yourself out
of your rut and start feeling better about
yourself. Many times depression is a
downward spiral that won't stop until you
change something in your life but don't
get discouraged as this is an easily fixed
problem with the right help. As for
restricting calories, this may be adding
to your depression as you said you get
headaches and you always feel tired. This
is a result of your body not getting
enough nutrients to take care of itself.
You can start from either side, either
choosing to focus on your depression or
your body image but I'm sure that when one
problem begins to be solved, your body and
your mind will start to feel better.
