Depression?

These past few days I've been feeling sad, for like no reason. I'm trying to figure out the cause of this, but I just can't. It's like the feeling just pops out of nowhere, and I wanna cry or something, but then I'd think I'm like crazy for being like this when I don't even know why. Should I see a therapist or something? I don't really know what's going on and my depression is really kicking in hard..

There is a reason behind that, you may not be aware of it now cause your mine id occupied with many thoughts. I hope you feel better soon.

Whoa...That's difficult. I think I have experienced that before. Being busy form school works makes it more difficult to concentrate to your problem.

Thank you. Hopefully I figure this out soon, I don't even have enough time to think about it due to schoolwork and things to do in the house.

If you have access to it, I suggest you seek professional help. You might be suffering from Bi-polar disease. Or it might be an imbalance in your hormones. The professionals will be able to determine it I'm sure. Sometimes the solution is as simple as changing your diet, but you can't be too sure with advice from me, you're better off with a professional if you feel that it's getting severe. Self diagnosis can also be very dangerous so watch out. Good luck, I hope you feel better. Seek out company of happy people if you don't have access to professional help, positive people make good company and they rub off on you. I'll vouch for that! Hope this helps! :)

Maybe I should, when I got the time. Classes are up and I don't want to miss anything since I need to catch up on a lot, and I don't think my mum would understand this. She'd only insist that there's a reason, eventhough I can't figure it out myself.

Yes, the parent-child gap is a killer cycle. I don't see why she wouldn't approve of professional help though. I have been studying a lot of psychology since I was 15 and I can honestly say that none of it is ever "just what it seems". There's almost always an underlying problem and depression is just a symptom of it. Whatever you do though, don't get the pills if they offer it to you, it won't fix you, it will just numb you and it won't do you any good. Just try to face it clear-headed and upfront. One person is capable of such great things and depression is only one small spec. Once you get over it, you will travel great lengths for sure. I didn't know you were still in school. I get it a little bit more now, school pressure is totally magnified when you're actually in it, rather than looking from the outside. But it's good that you try and fill up your time productively here in myLot and ranting your feelings out. That's always good, as long as you are able and willing to tell someone you will be okay.
