I never know what to put for titles.

Hi,

Not so long ago I made a thread in the bipolar category and since looking into it a little better I decided that I probably don't have that. I decided to keep on going with life but I feel the need to post again because now I don't feel happy at all, like my happiness monitor has flat lined.

All the things I loved doing have practically become my enemy, except from learning foreign languages; it's kinda the only thing I can do now that is still a nice activity for me. I'm trying not to make this post too long so I'll try not to add unnecessary details, but I feel like I've fallen into an abyss, like everything used to be okay but it was just a show to get me through childhood.

I did a test online, it asked for my age and gender so I'm assuming it's factored hormones, etc. into it. I've also read some of the helpful stickies on here and I've managed to distinguish a couple symptoms from being pubity.

On the test I got 42 which put me into severe/moderate depression. I'd like to talk to my parents about it but I don't have the courage to tell them or really do anything about it other than sit in my room listening to sad music which I don't think is helping very much....

If anyone has any advice on how I can proceed from here, please share; it's all appreciated. Thanks.

I was in a similar situation about 6 months ago. Do something now. Go see a doctor.

I didn't and I ended up nearly killing myself. Just talk to someone and work out what your issues are. Look for a long term goal to aim for.
You need to be proactive in your situation, don't be afraid.

I think a lot more people need to remember that your doctor or GP is specifically there so they can help you with problems. Refusing to see help is going to slowly tear at you and whittle you down. Child and Youth Mental Services can get you medication, psychiatrist, case manager and you can even stay in a youth mental ward if you feel like you're going to be a danger to yourself. I've recently been diagnosed into the Bipolar and Psychosis category myself after being put in a mental ward involuntarily for a week. If you feel uncomfortable doing this kind of stuff or working with a team there are phone numbers and websites where you can look for help or comfort in anonymously.

In Australia we use Lifeline (https://www.lifeline.org.au/)
So if you have a UK equivalent to it I would suggest calling it :)
You can also talk to me if just want someone to talk to. I can't guarantee I'm a very interesting person but I'm always willing to listen :hug3:
