Teen depression
Hey guys,
I just need to ask a question. I'm a pretty young boy, only 14, and I din't know if I'm depressed. I feel really tired at night but can't ever sleep, and I just feel very slow moving and extremely exhausted during the day. I don't always know why I feel so bad, but I get extremely sad sometimes and just lay there doing nothing but thinking for long periods of time, and things that I used to love doing now seem pointless and boring. I always get up in the morning feeling very bad, and like the days just going to be terrible and nothing could make it better, if that makes sense. I don't know who to talk to and I'm scared to ask my parents. What should I do?

Hey just talk to your mom or doctor about how you feel if you ever want to talk to another teen about what youre going through you can contact me through my blog the link is www.proud0282.blog.com stay strong!!
Just tell them the truth. Tell them that you feel tired all the time...that you can't sleep...have no energy.
Tell them that this is upsetting you, and that you would like to see if the doctor could suggest a vitamin or something.
Telling them in that way makes it look like you're growing up and caring about your body.
They will probably have noticed your unusual behavior by this point anyway...probably hoping that you'll "just get over it".
Many parents remember being teenagers themselves...and they know how hard it is...and they know that it's worse now than it was before.
If your parents won't take you at this point, then you might have to go to the clinic yourself. Be brave, and just tell the doctor EXACTLY what you are going through.

It sounds like depression...but it could also be one of many other problems.
You really need to talk to someone about this.
You need to see a doctor to make sure that it isn't something more serious.
There are a lot of things that can make you feel that way...like a lack of certain vitamins...but you need to see a doctor to find out what your problem is.
Please tell your parents. They love you and will want to help you.
I suffered from depression when I was 10...I never told anyone...suffered through it on my own. I was ten years old and I wanted to die.
I told my mom many years later...she said that she wished I would have told her sooner...it would have saved me from a world of hurt throughout my life.
Because I didn't tell anyone, it made my life worse. I ended up having to see psychiatrists when I was 28.
Turns out that I had ADHD...and I could have had help all those years...and I wouldn't have had to go through all that.
Please! Tell someone! Anyone!
