-I sometimes lie in bed but wont get to sleep for an hour or longer…
- I wake up occasionally in the night and in the morning i don’t feel like there’s anything worth getting up for.
- I either don’t feel like eating though my stomach is growling so loud or…
- I feel like eating a lot of junk-food to make me feel better (chocolate..)
- I can go from hyper or normal to depressed.
- I have gotten so anti-social that iv told my parents everyone is busy though iv been asked to make plans with people that day…
-I get paranoid and shy around people iv known ages and yet in my class i would do anything in front of and just be myself .
- I have moodswings… my mood changes A LOT.
- I get angry and irritated at anything…
- I get so stressed out
- I lose all my energy
- I get headaches or feel cold or sometimes sick in the stomach when i feel like this ^
I’m 13, female; hormones or depression ?
WHEN I AM FEELING LIKE THIS…
i can feel that way from a few hours to a few days before i feel normal for a few days or less and then i am all depressed again…
I get really upset, i feel tears in my eyes [not often], i get angry really easily, i think about cutting but i wont…i don’t like pain inside and outside doesn’t sound much fun either:L, i sometimes think of whether people would be upset if i died or how id tell my friends/parents [as in suicide note] or who would come to my funeral (i don’t know if these are suicidal thoughts or not), i don’t want to talk to anyone and i want to be alone listening to music, my eating habits change, as do my sleeping ones, i feel paranoid or anxious, i tell everyone i’m fine, i try as hard as i can to smile and laugh though im just not feeling it…
but i am normal or giddy some days as-well or is depression a 24/7 thing ?
and
I never cry… like sometimes i feel like it or i make myself just because i know once i start it will all come pouring out and it might release me a bit but i can only manage a tear which isn’t enough a emotion for a proper cry…
and
I don’t really have a reason to be depressed if i am ? like my life is good ?
does depression run in families because…
My mam has a twitch from stress,
She had graves disease and its left her constantly stressed and anxious…
she shouts a lot!
iv noticed she eats hardly anything and when she comes home from work she wont eat dinner (she works full time) and says she had a big lunch and breakfast in work…
she is always tired and gets up very early every morning…
she is always stressed, shouting, anxious, she cries at anything on the tv…
my dad is very impatient, is anxious a lot, has a horrible temper, loves to cut the grass for hours (we’v a gigantic garden) and he could be out there for 4 hours just listening to music, he loves being alone, he doesn’t sleep at night i have caught him awake several times when i got up for a drink late at night/early in the morning, my mam says he has anxiety and once i heard him say to my mam when he thought i couldn’t hear “I thought when you were depressed you eat less, all i want to do is eat junkfood” and my mam replied “thats called comfort eating”
My parents are always fighting over the stupedist things , we are in a lot of financial trouble, my mam and dad have each stormed out of the house after a fight and my mam even packed a bag and said she was going to her parents house ect… i think if they had the money they’d divorce:/
this makes homelife very stressful… so im pretty sure my parents are depressed.. :S

I agree with everything except the 7th point
depression is caused by a chemincal imbalance in the brain, not circumstances, although circumstances can add to it greatly. as your at the age where your body is deveoping rapidly it could be hormonal changes causing a chemical imbalance, see you doctor, express to her/him how yoj feel. dont be embarased, they are there to help. and becaue your 16 express that you dont wnt anyone to know. . or talk to your mum or dad? but this is resolvable. excercise is an excellent depression buster
You really have several symptoms of depression,and I think that be suffering from depression is a possibility.If you do, it could possibly be linked to the problems with your parents you mentioned.I am not doctor, so I can´t state either it´s depression or hormones, or even something else, but sounds like depression.These are some symptoms you have when you are depressed:
-Sleep too much or is always sleepy;
-Fell hopeless and helpless;
-Have no appetite or is always hungry;
-Behaves much more irritable,short-tempered or agressive than usual;
-Can´t control negative thoughts, no matter how much try;
-And, in a worse case, have thoughts that life does not worth living.
Despite your age, I think it´s possible for someone who faces a bad situation like you, besides you could have the genetic factor,once your parent are depressed, as you said.If you think you can overcome it by yourself, regardless of what it is,you could try to make some changes.Talk to your parents, and see what you can do to help them and yourself.Adopt a positive attitude, keep yourself busy with usefull things or things you like to do, watch if you´re feeding well and healthily,think positive,make good friends,keep in moviment.Practicing exercises helps a lot against depression too, you could for example play a sport.
Anyway, if you think it´ll be hard to get better by yourself, or that your sadness is too deep, seeking a doctor is the wiser thing to do.Remember that you should not play with your health, and that the more an ill progress, the worse it becomes.
My best wishes for you, may you get better soon!
