I didn't know whether this belonged in this section or the mental/physical one, so I played it safe. Anywho: Lately I've been feeling down in the dumps, unmotivated and extremely tired. There hasn't been anything wrong to trigger this, so I have no idea why I'm feeling this way. I don't know how to explain it, but nothing seems...lively anymore, and I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm blanking in and out, having thoughtless thoughts and spacing out for no reason without noticing. My friends asked if I was sick or alright, and I can't just be like, "Oh well...I'm just feeling depressed," because I don't know what I'm feeling, everything inside just feels sort of dead and I don't know what to do. I'm totally lost on this. So...help?
I've felt things like this without knowing why. I chalked it up to a temporary brain chemical imbalance. Depression can be chronic, but lucky for you, they've gotten pretty good at helping people with such a problem. Whether or not you end up needing medicine, hugs are great. (*hug*)
(*hug*) I don't know if I want to reveal this to my parents yet - they'll probably brush it off as something unimportant like they always do. I mean, they already think I'm mentally ill for being gay, who knows what they'll say about this. :/ I think I'll look a little online for those places I can chat with a therapist/specialist about it. If it is something serious, well, I'll have no choice but to tell them anyway.
Yeah, you should at least find someone to talk about it with, it's never good to keep things like this to yourself. I can say from experience that keeping this to yourself can be, well, disastrous. I'm sure there are plenty of people who you'll find that can help you. (*hug*)
I felt like this two week ago. I was talking to my brother last week about something else, and that when I told myself that I had it with feeling depressed. I decided to speak my mind and I cried in the process. He could tell it was serious to me, and he told me his perspective on what I told him. I'm not sure if our conversation even hit close to the topic that upset me, but it sure did help just being able to talk to someone. Find someone to talk to and express your feeling. You don't necessarily need therapist or prescription medication. Try going to a school guidance counselor and just speak your mind. But make sure, whoever you go to, that you can trust them.
