I always been active my whole life I needed attention alot and I often was over joyed but kept quiet and humble at times to.

Now im 18 years of age and I live with my parents in another state and I dont feel happy !

When I sleep and wake up in the middle of sleeping or I am tired I think my brains does not know how to react and I panic and I race thoughts my mind goes deep in to panic and I question my self like what is life?
What is this what is that? Where am i?

Some times I feel like im loosing control and my body hurts and I get depressed for no reason I just cant be happy some times I feel that people think im a animal and all negative thoughts and some music when I listen to it hurts me it makes me instant emotional and I wanna cry for no reason !

It feels like I have to cry every 20 minutes for no reason its at the tip of my emotions!

Some times I feel mently retarted I started acting weird

and im getting very skinny

and my eyes often hurt and I see double vision !

I look back at the past alot and cry about good memories and I just wanna keep my emotions stable and not race thoughts all day!

I think to much and its hurting me

what causes my pain? :cry:

My advice is always to see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. There are some physical illnesses that can cause depression, and these need to be eliminated before we can discuss depression.

If the doctors cannot come up with a diagnosis, they may diagnose depression or anxiety attacks.

Usually they will then prescribe antidepressant medication.

As a nutritional psychologist I am not in favour of medication to treat depression, only as a last resort,

most depressions are caused not by mental or psychological factors, but because of some physical condition, such as hypoglycemia.
