4. I do react intensely. I get angry over small things. if someone say something silly to me I cry over it like a crybaby
5. Yes. my sleeping schedule keeps changing. half of the month i oversleep and half of the month i don't even sleep
6. i do get tired really easily even without doing anything. i open my assignment book to do it but when i hold my pen i feel like im wasting my energy by writing.
7. change in appetite. YES. i skip my lunch and breakfast but still odnt feel hungry. i crave for spicy and really sweet food. sometimes i overeat and get stomach aches.
and YES im afraid to share this all with anyone. in fear that they may use it against me as weapon. i dont even ike to share with my family cuz they think that teenagers dont get depressed. And think that I dont have anything to depress over.

I'm happy you brought up the need to constantly socialize when depressed. This is something I've struggled with for a long time, I don't have the energy to truly engage with people and give them the time of day but I always want to be around them and being alone is just making me feel a whole lot worse. So I end up going out and hanging out with someone but I barely contribute anything to the conversation and more often than now I'm lost in my head but I don't feel as much dread as I do when I'm alone at home. I thought that I may be just looking fo distraction. I don't see a lot of websites talk about this issue, more often or not they mention social isolation so yeah, I'm glad it was brought up here.

I got depressed to a point where I had to pick whether I still wanted to live or take my life.
I temporarily chose to live, when I did that, I then committed to daily exercise in the morning and 6 weeks in, I haven't had the opportunity to review my decision. It's the longest I've been fully sane in the last 2-3years.
There's no telling how long this will last, but for how far it's brought me. I'm glad, and if eventually I have to chose to take my life, at least I'd have a clear memory of having lived.

Depression is you are with other people and just want to leave the environment and be alone, or find an excuse to be. Once your alone every single thought in your head turns into something negative. no matter how hard you try avoid it. its like feeling actual pain without beeing hurt. Also it can be tied to panic attacks (thinking you will die or get terminally ill. Depression takes alot of energy from you because you put all of it into negative thinking about your live

2: 06 not gonna lie this is one of the hardest things for me to work with in school. we were reading a book where two main characters die and people were crying whilst i was trying not to laugh. and we were in the middle of a fire drill while lots of people were nervous about it being real i was laughing very hard. it generates a really annoying problem with making friends because people think im crazy but sometimes im just glad i felt an emotion at all

i find myself being unable to tolerate talking to people at all. at work, i often feel exhausted and numb, like im going through the motions. i do not like my job and want to quit every day i go in. i am unable to enjoy my days off and most of them dont feel like good days off because i feel like i have to do everythingi think or talk about work too much, and find it hard to get good sleep even if i am tired. i relate to this video a lot.

i fit 4 of these signs
i don't want to see a therapist tho. Therapy is expensive and i'm already making steps to improve my mental health.
I just have to keep pushing on, keep working on my hobbies and college, and keep living life. even though it's so challenging when my energy reserves are always low 24/7
The worst that could happen is that I'm sad but successful. that's not so bad

I've always felt like that but because of one personal thing my world is just crumbling into picees. I want to live but not like this. Im litterally waiting for death to come fast. What should i do?

Something I subconsciously do, and Ive done this since I was younger, is whenever Im sad or not happy I would fake smile, and do that over and over and over and over, and I guess thats one of the things that helps me lie to people about my feelings since Ive been doing that to pretend Im happy, when Im not.

I like going out with people I know, but I also want to be left alone at the same time.
I would like to be with my friends, go out with them and be good and all, just not be participating. I prefer more of a 3rd person prespective.

Be sure to check your thyroid antibodies and adrenals hormones. I used to think i had mental issues until i discovered that i have an autoimmune desease. Sometimes its symptoms are very similar to different mental illnesses

Im a teen, is it okay for me to have depression, insomnia and bad eating habits at this age? I ignore everything about my mental health because everyone puts me down saying you're a kid. You don't have depression.

Im slowly giving up. I feel like Im reaching my breaking point. And I dont want anyone to feel bad because I know people dont care. But I just want to at least say it.

the first one hit me a little too hard. I thought wanting to socialise was me getting over my depression, now I'm realising it's a bad coping mechanism for it: )

The first one I understand. My depression makes me feel pretty lonely, and sometimes Ill go out of my way to socialize just cause I want to be around others.

Most of these apply to me, but it havent started resently it has been with me most of my life, so its probably more of a personal issue then a health issue.
