What is depression, how do I know if i have it??

I often thought i did, i went through some really tough times, things like my best friend trying to commit suiside, dad getting cancer, dealing with being adopted among other things and at times I would just cry and cut myself- I was so scared because i really didn't know my limits, i still dont.

Do i have depression???

It is really hard to give a daignosis abotu a mental health issue online. I would suggest seeing a school counseller or other such person, they can help in that regard.

But to be honest, unless you are wanting to be medicated, the diagnosis isn't that important. What is important is you and your feelings. Feeling really down is a natural part of going through adolesants. Even so, that fact does not make what you are feeling or going through any less real. Try talking to someone, if that isn't really a possiblity right now, talk to us here on VT, we are here to help you.

" was so scared because i really didn't know my limits, i still dont."- this kinda worry's me, may I ask exactly what you are refering to?

Hi there. If you are still suffering from being constantly depressed, you may have depression. Now as we can't really tell over the internet, and it would be much easier for someone trained in the profession of this... I really suggest you see a doctor. He may be able to, if you turn out to have depression, supply you with anti-depressants which should help you to stop feeling so depressed.

Remember you're not alone, and there are people here for you. On here, in real life; your friends, your family. We all support you :)

Regards.

I'm sorry to hear that, it sounds like you're going through a very tough time.

It does sound like depression so please seek some help from a professional/therapist as they are the ones who can diagnose you and give you the best help and support. In the meantime, talk to someone you trust such as a close friend or family member.

Or if you don't feel like you have the confidence to talk to someone you know in person then feel free to PM me anytime. :)

I guess i mean i do not know where i stop, where i draw a line and say enough, i do not think i have limits to the physical pain i will put myself threw becos i enjoy it and that scares me alot.
