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?

[Kathryn Langlois]

High School is a Horny Bit*h (sorry if this offends anyone), you either love it or hate it...

Every one has a different way of being depressed, that might be yours but always try and think of the glass 'half full' not 'half empty' if you get that.

[Kate Cockerham]

I have always felt this way and thought no one else did. I just started high school too, and it is quite scary.

I know how that feels...

[Cory N Anderson]

Ok here are some questions:
-Does the ecstatic or depression last for week-month periods ever?
 -Do you get alot done or feel like doing alot when ecstatic?

[Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy]

well, yes to both...

[Cory N Anderson]

It might be manic depression/bipolar.

[Livi Zefrina Jaxx]

I have this too but i wouldn't think it's bipolar. I went to see some one about it and he said is is a symptom of being 'bright'/'intelligent'. I think he called it sensitivity. It can cause depression. I will be really happy and really productive and study and try to do 2 sports and as much stuff as i can and then i have weeks when i don't wan't to get out of bed and other days when i feel like i can't. i find things set it off. how old are you? I'm 16

Feeling alone is the human condition. Don't expect to find people that understand you, or you'll grow murderous with disappointment. The best you can do for now is try to understand yourself, what it is that you want. 

 

It may seem as if you're alone, but everyone feels the same way, in one way or another. to different extents. Most of it is just part of being a teenager, where you're still trying to understand how /you/ operate, how /you/ work. This leaves a lot of room for being self-conscious and awkward and all of those things that come along with being a teenager. 

 

Sometimes I'm ecstatic with energy and bursting full of life, a total extrovert, while other times I want to fold myself up like paper and disappear. I don't think that this is depression, it's probably just me. 

In my opinion, depression doesn't exist. Because there's never a point where someone completely loses all hope, it you think about it. Even at the lowest point in someone's life, they're filled with inexhaustible courage .

This was kind of good to hear.

really? what's it called?

[ryan brennan]

I know how you feel.
I've been a pretty miserable guy since my 2nd year of high school, but I'm always much more happy when I'm at home.
It's like my school is deliberately depressing.

i just feel bad everywhere I go...
