Do I have atypical depression?

[Lennonism]

Nothing seems to satisfy me nowadays. I mean, I can joke around with my friends and stuff, but if one or two people make a negative comment about me, even if they're just joking, I feel horrible. I get depressed when I see other people with their GFs, because everyone else is making out and stuff, and I've never even kissed a girl. I'm losing interest in a lot of my hobbies, my music, etc. I just feel like things are never going to get better.

I don't know why I feel like this. I have good friends that I hang out with, but like I said, if one or two people don't like me, it's the end of the world. Even when I have good days, what then? There's nothing I can do. It's just pointless. I hate it. Plus, I'm always in the "bad class" at high school, even though I try to be quiet and listen to the teachers, they always stand up and talk about how loud and misbehaved the class how, how the other classes don't act like this so they get to do all the fun stuff, etc.

Does this sound like atypical depression? I just really dislike my current situation. Although I have good friends, I still feel like I'm boxed in.

Though it sounds familiar to depression, we are NOT doctorsand there for cannot diagnose you. I suggest you get it checked out if you want to know for sure.

Have your appetite and/or sleeping habits changed?

Well...I guess I started eating a little bit more, and I'm tired more often.

Then I would say that it does sound like you could have atypical depression. Best to see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis, support and information on ways you can address any issues you have.

It sounds a lot like Atypical depression to me. But we are not doctors so you need to head on over to your doctor and get this figured out.
Atypical depression

Atypical depression is somewhat like Major depression, with the exception that at certain moments you are able to feel happy.
You feel that your happiness revolves around outside influences including, compliments, success at work or school, and other general positive events but you go back into the depressive state when things are not going so well.

You are extremely sensitive to rejection, failure or and type of judgment.
When you are in your happy state, you are able to feel pleasure again, life seems good, and you enjoy simple things like the taste of food again.

Since you have felt this depression, you have gained weight, and seem to be overeating to the point of gaining 10 or more pounds.
You are also over sleeping 10 or more hours a day (or 2 more hours then you regularly would sleep without depression)you seem to always be late for appointments and other events because of not being able to get our of bed.
You feel a leaden (Heavy) like feeling in your arms and legs.

This is what it is typically like with Atypical depression, but since we are all unique we may have 1 or more different types of depression or even combinations.
