Do I have depression?

0

I feel like maybe I should talk to someone like my parents about my “depression” but the only problem is I’m not exactly sure if I have it. Frequently I break into tears for no particular reason. I toss and turn all night and wake up on the hour. I have little to no energy a lot of the time. Everything I use to love it’s like it barely matters anymore. And most of all everyday it feels like I’m carrying this huge weight on my heart and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to say something if it’s nothing.

Well, it sounds like depression. I think you should talk to your parents at least so you can maybe talk to a pro and get some advice on how to deal with the way you feel.

Pertaining to the above said matter, it is indeed better for you to let it all out. Let it loose, shake it up. Do not keep problems in yourself as this may not be beneficial in your own state of mind and health. Depression is something that is inside of you, by keeping issues related to the past might not be beneficial for your health, so it is better for you to let it out. By means of emotional, physical nor mental. Emotionally, talk to someone whom you have trust upon. Physically, you can hit it to the gym and vent your anger by exercising, a good way to achieve desired results for depression. Plus mentally, you can find inner peace by constantly visiting places you are feeling attached too; be it nature or by inner peace. Hope this helps, god bless you.

Anyone can become depressed in their life; sometimes it lasts a few days, sometimes a few years. Clinical depression is diagnosed only by a doctor, but just because you haven't gone to the doctor doesn't mean you aren't suffering from depression. And you don't have to give it a name if you don't want to ! You could always just tell your parents how you've been feeling. Remember, you are in control of how much you tell them. I'm sure they care about you and will want to help and support you through this. Take things at your own pace, practice what to say in the mirror if you need to. Do things in your own time, but just remember that talking can really help.

It does sound like you have depression. I would talk to your parents and get some help. It's best to get help now before it becomes to late and you don't want to. It can be hard talking to parents about it but just remember that it's for the best. Good luck! <3
