Depression?

[Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy]

I feel terrible almost all of the time, but sometimes I feel absolutely ecstatic. I am worrying all the time about something, and I think I'm starting to get paranoid and think that nobody enjoys my company. I don't know if it's because I just started highschool, because I felt like this quite a bit in middle school... but I was just wondering if any of you guys have ever felt like this?

don't worry, that was the story of my life freshmen year. i felt like all of my friends had more fun with their other friends and didn't really want to spend time with me, i kept fining negative things about myself but not knowing how to change them. i guess you could say i was pretty lonely and frustrated. i would suggest joining a bunch of clubs and getting to know more people, there has to be somewhere that you'll fit in :) just try out as many things as possible, it worked for me. if you want someone to talk to feel free to add me.

Thanks for the advice and I'm glad you are fine now! I'm happy to know that it can get better according to your example.

I feel exactly the same way. Somedays I'll wake up and feel great, and then suddenly I'll just feel like a dementor came up and sucked the life out of me. And then about a few hours later, I'll feel fine! I don't really know what triggers the sadness, but it's sometimes brought on by being in a large crowd or when I'm really worried about college/grades. I hope this could help!

I hope you get better too, and I feel the same way. I get really nervous about grades and being in a huge group. I don't know how much seeing a counselor will help me but I guess that I should give it my all.

I know exactly what you mean I'm down most of the time but can all of a sudden be extremely happy and giggly but lately I'm more down than anything and even angry for a reason as simple as someone talking to me when I don't want to talk. I'm pretty sure there are many people with these issues and unfortunately I have no good advise for you I just wanted to let you know that your not alone.

I hope you will feel better more often too, and thanks for even posting here. Even something as little as this helps. Really!

Yeah, so this happens to everyone, and is called Hormones and Being a Teen. High school can be a b*tch sometimes; just learn grow a pair and make the best of it.

haha okay thanks.

[Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy]

hmmm.. that's new. I'll try it, thank you.

Don't worry, you're not alone. I feel like this every single day. I, myself, am also in high school. The most notable thing to do for me is to find something that distracts you from these bad feelings. Something that calms you down and takes you to your happy place. For example, I usually do something artistic like play music or make paintings. Anything you love will be great.

That sounds helpful, I think I'll try it. Thank you! And also don't feel too bad yourself.

if your mood is constantly changing drastically, I'm really sorry but it sounds more like bipolar or to alesser a degree you might just be hypomanic :)
