Am I depressed?

[Drew dReaMS]

I've never been to a doc so i need peoples opinions. Okay so, I used to cut and I stopped on 4/20/13. Lately I've felt just like no one cares, wants me, or is there for me. I have my girlfriend but I'm starting to feel like I'm just an annoyance and a confusing mess. I just feel like she doesn't enjoy talking anymore and I don't light up her day like I used to. The only times my parents want me is for work. I know i sound like I'm whining, but I'm trying not to. 90% of the time my mom talks to me is when "oh the dishes are dirty, clean them" "Clean the living room, now" and "Why didn't you vacuum while I was at work?" My father left when I was four, got in contact me when I was 12, and invited me over twice, but he hasn't talked to me since. I just feel all alone and I want to just... talk to someone. Its like no one will listen. Not even my girlfriend will. She gets angry when I feel my saddest and sometimes ignores me because shes playing a game on her iPhone. I really want to cut, but I promised myself I wouldnt... I think I need help. Please someone say something, I'll appreciate it so much.

I wouldn't "self-harm" over those issues. What you explained sounds like depression. If you haven't researched you're symptoms yet, I will leave a link of a great website that will tell you about Depression Symptoms and Warning Signs.

Okay first thing is first. I'm not a doctor and your not a doctor. Also there is a 1% maybe even less that there is a doctor on VT. You shouldn't diagnose yourself. Your girlfriend is probably wishing you to come back to your old self. If your mom is single and she is working constantly. Then when she gets home, she is most likely tired. Then is already agitated from work and maybe her co-workers.


What helps me when I am down. Is by thinking of your best childhood memory. Soak that in for a good 5 minutes. Also watching comedy always puts me in a better mood.

Try these things, oh and tell your mom how much she means to you. Especially how you appreciate her hard work. Tell your girlfriend that your sorry, that you was feeling quite sad. Then tell her how important she is too you.



If there are still some questions ask away.
