Hey hunny,
Well i can actually say even though i dont know you...You are not depressed dont worry.
I think your problem is that your are very scared that you will become depressed that you put it in your brain that you are depressed therefore you think about it and think about if you have the symptoms.
But you are just paranoid!
One thing my grandma always told me is never to look depression up online it makes you paranoid to think you have it...
I know trust me i had it and its not nice. If you had depression you would not even be able to get up for school in the morning plus you would start pushing the ones close to you away like i did!
Get depression out of your mind and get yourself a hobby to help you get it off your mind. This will help you and you might stop thinking negative thoughts and start thinking good thoughts.
You are only young remember you have your whole life ahead of you and to even think about things like that is bad!
Talk to a loved one like your mom or dad even grandparents or a teacher. Tell people what you are feeling because they dont know what your going through. Trust me when i had depression and i told the closest to me it helped so much so im sure that when you tell your close ones it will help even though you dont have depression but are thinking of it.
Good luck! x (10 pointts :D)
Sounds to me like you're paranoid..you seem to be freaking yourself out, making you think that you are depressed when you're not..I get paranoid when I work because I clean houses and when I clean vacant houses or rental homes I get nervous about every little sound. Its not all that uncommon to think about all the things that you think about either, I know there was a time back in high school when I thought about those things, but i grew out of it. I'm sure you will be fine in the end, just give it some time, Hang out with friends and try to look on the brighter side of things, and if you are really worried then go to the doctors and get their opinion. "don't take life to seriously, no one gets out alive" hope that helps.
oh this is a hard one i think you are depressed. Being paranoid is more of thinking "oh my god is someone looking at me" "what would happen if someone came in my house and shoot me" things in a "what if" scared emotion but depression is just a sad lonely feeling. I hope you can talk to your mom or dad about this because they have meds to help you. Sometimes you cant always do everything by yourself, it's usually a chemical imbalance and with your age that's normal actually im sure lots of people in your class have the same issues just no one likes to talk about it and if you did imagine what a relief it would be. Get sun, sleep good eat good and talk to your parents.
i think these feelings are normal...ive had those too...however before u take action on them...talk to a councelor or psychologist maybe u got some sort of repression of feelings and u need to get them out or just talk to someone bout what bothers u maybe a fear maybe something else...it is not normal for a teenager to be depressed though those thoughts are common sometimes dont let them interfere with ur life
answer mine?
