Depression again?

[Miss Punk]

I had depression for about 2 years when I was 12-13. Lately I've been feeling really low every day. I've been trying to fight it for two months now but I give up, I don't have the energy anymore. My cutting has been getting progressively worse. I sleep for over 10 hours every day and I still feel exhausted when I wake up. I eat at meal times just out of habit but am never hungry and food just makes me feel sick. I've been taking excessive amounts of painkillers for headaches, and sometimes for nothing. I've been trying to keep myself busy by revising, because I've finished school on study leave now, but I can go half an hour and then my concentration is broken and I feel tired out. I feel really lonely and hopeless all the time. I've kind of stopped caring about everything. Is this just a temporary low, or am I sinking back into depression? I don't want to be, but nothing makes me feel better. Not sure how to pick myself up...

Depression can return, and it sounds like yours might be. Before it progresses, you should tell your folks and let them get you back to the doctor who treated it successfully when you were 12-13.

The key to success here is early recognition and intervention. Go.

Thanks. I was expecting a 'don't be silly, you're not depressed' kind of answer, but I guess I should go see a doctor.

that sounds like depression to me, and I agree go see a doctor so you guys can work as a team to get a handle on it.
