am i depressed?

[bunnypop]

Okay, so i am worried i might be depressed. i cant talk to anyone i know because i would feel uncomfortable. i cant talk to a doctor either until im sure. i have taken one of the online NHS survey things about depression but thats just a survey and i want real advice and answers.
I have these periods of happy time but the slightest thing can set me off into thinking im horrible worthless and make me cry e.c.t, i understand that this can be hormones though. I dont have many friends i have lost a lot recently and had a nasty break-up last year and havent had a relationship since. Also i often feel sad, I cry alot, think about death, suicide, feel worthless alone and stupid. my grades arent as good as they used to be and i want to be alone with my thoughts all the time.
Am i depressed or is it just my hormones?

I do agree with LeftCoast and Hensley. It could be mild to moderate depression or just hormonal triggers as your body is transitioning. I myself is currently experiencing moderate depression and the symptoms are almost the same as yours. It would be better for you to rule out the medical side. Try to see a psychiatrist or tell your trusted friends about your condition. If needed, ask them to come along with you when you see a doctor or a psychiatrist as a support. Support from friends and family are very useful. Do update us about it

While those are some of the many symptoms of depression, "like Leftcoast said" that can be hard to detrmine.

To me it sounds like mild to moderate Depression. Matbe mild bi-polar symptoms. Then again you are very young and at 13 to 14 your body is transitioning from adolesence to adult. For femails especially this can be a rough transition and can manifest an overload of emotions dure to hormone changes in your body.

I'm not saying that it's not Major depression, because very young people can suffer from major depression. It's just less common before 18 years of age.

I would suggest seeing a doctor at first to try to rule out any physical or hormonal triggers.

You may be depressed. We can't diagnose you here, but it sounds like it. Anytime, and I mean anytime you have suicidal thoughts, head to your doctor's office, or if you can't get those thoughts out of your head, go to your local hospital. They will treat you like any other  emergency. How old are you? I order to help you further we need to know your age, much depends you your age.Please write back!
