You are too young to be carrying such weights on your shoulders. Ask someone to check through the hairs on your head, one or two silver coloured strands may be found. Please dear, I beg you in the name of the Lord.. Pray and and ask God to give you the will to overcome depression, then eat a lot of blueberries.. See movies when alone. Your books, concentrate on them and don't force yourself among people. Just flow freely among your friends. If you have any small opportunity, talk about it (I mean the separation of your parents) with someone. Don't allow self pity to eat you up alive because definitely, it will affect your marriage in future if you don't face your demons now. You will be fine dear. |

JuicyGee: It's obviously depression dear. What you need isn't drug as suggested by some and it's not exactly a serious issue as portrayed. Please reply my pm and let's talk. |

Depression to me is the absence of Holy Spirit in a life. When God is in you,you will know that your destiny has nothing to do with your parental divorce or separation...David once wrote that it was in sin that his mother conceived him,he was brought forth in iniquity ..it means his situation was more terrible than yours yet God loved him & made him a king over Israel. Jephtha was regarded as a bastard,family rejected him but God made him a leader over them..Rehab was an Harlot but she became a celebrated woman thereafter by divine grace & mercy . I put it to you; is your condition worse than that of the people I mentioned to you? Move closer to God & let him lavish his love upon you,who knows your life might bring your parents back together again! |

From all you wrote, you sound depressed. You need to visit a mental facility for evaluation. The earlier the better. Suicidal ideation is no joke at all. I wish you the very best |

Justdulla: You should not advise someone with depression starting with the statemement, "trust me you don't have a problem, if you were in my shoes." Your problems aren't worse than hers, you are both two different individuals facing different obstacles in life that is causing a mental health issue for both. 2 Likes |

JuicyGee, you're most likely chronically depressed and it may or may not have begun with your parents' divorce -- which is devastating enough to distort a child's psychological balance. Nevertheless, you must strive to become a better version of yourself; you owe yourself that at least. I strongly advice you see a psychologist who will be able to properly assess you and guide you through a healing process for your mind. Or if there's any close adult female humble friend you can pour your heart to, please do. You see, depression is a lingering psychological problem and that's the reason it's difficult to cure. However, the first step on the path of healing is enough force to overcome inertia. You're definitely melancholic which indicates introversion but you must begin to do these regularly and infinitely so: 1) Love yourself (and love others). "Count all your blessings and see what the Lord has done." This will help you value yourself enough to avoid self loath, low self esteem and the feeling of incapacitation. 2) Channel your passion: There has to be some good cause you're passionate about. Take it up. Write, if you can. Join that group, start that class or whatever it is, just do it. Channeling it right will set you on a path of self discovery and liberation. 3) Stop Worrying. If you can get Dale Carnegie's How to stop worrying and start living book (or ebook), trust me you'll be thankful you did. 4) Start Living. Like all introverts, you'll crave being alone. However, try to defy that craving once in a while. Take an evening walk and greet as many people you meet on the road. Sit by a park and watch birds or whistle or embrace nature. Take a break from social media. If you resent anyone, call them and joke with them. Smile a lot. Love people. Love someone. 5) Get closer to your God. Religion has proved helpful to maintain a certain level of social balance for ages despite it's propensity to do just the opposite. It may sound all funny, but you can trust these are proven ways to bounce back. I pray you get out of these soon and start to enjoy life as God intended. 3 Likes 1 Share |

JuicyGee:Sweetie, please please please, seek help.When suicidal thoughts kick in, do not wait another minute.Asking for help is not weakness.Infact, it takes strength to acknowledge that you need help and then seek it.Depression has many faces.It could be mild or major.It's caused by hormonal imbalance in the brain but could be triggered by traumatic life events.I don't know what other symptoms you've been experiencing but you named sadness, suicidal thoughts, wanting to be in isolation.Others include being moody, being irritable for no good reason, oversleeping or lack of sleep, overeating or loss of appetite, forgetfulness, difficult concentrating , absent mindedness,Feeling tired all the time etc, you can use google to check.Please go see a doctor and explain your symptoms.Do not ignore! |

Estharfabian:This is the wrong forum for this type of serious personal issue. It's a dirty linen and she's washing it in public. People will make fun. They always have. Ought to seek counsel with a doctor, guradian, relative. One person only not the whole lot of us. |
Re: Is It Possible To Be Depressed And Not Know It by derinlani: 2:45pm On Dec 19, 2016 |
It is possible. I used to be very depressed. Children from broken homes seem to constantly face this challenge. The best thing to do is to leave the past behind u and move forward, be happy. That's the summary of what all books will tell you. Chronic depression has medical symptoms and when it gets to the point of suicide it is demonic. Forget about whatever makes you sad, correct those pictures with nice pictures of beautiful experiences. Pray a lot, and always try to be in the right company. I hope you find this helpful. https://www.tolet.com.ng/?utm_source=naraland&utm_campaign=nairaland19_12_2016&utm_medium=blog |

Teen Depression is actually becoming common. I had depression too and I didn't know. One day I was in a neighbor's house and I watched a movie I really liked. I was so excited after the movie and found it hard to sleep. I then realized I had not felt that way in so many years. My mood had never been lifted for about 4 years after a traumatic event.. Then I decided to be looking for things that can excite me. Before then I always felt like sleeping and sometimes wished death could come by itself without me doing the works, but when I realized something was wrong with me, I decided to do something about it. It was then I started having better grades at the University and started topping my class. sometimes listening to songs I liked during my childhood helps to charge my brain. Like songs from Funmi Adams.. There really is a solution for everyone. Please visit this link for a better understanding : And please read that Psalm 23 quoted earlier. God bless.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/awake-no1-2017-february/#?insight[search_id]=e4dea3cc-e300-49ef-ad58-a35df4eefcff&insight[search_result_index]=0 It talks about Teen Depression. |

JuicyGee:Madam, Ur going through something u should not take lightly. Suicidal thoughts coupled with your other symptoms is most likely clinical depression. Forget all those people asking u to pm them. They may have good intentions but what u really need is to see Someone trained to handle issues like this I. E Any Dr preferably a psychiatrist. Do not let it slide. Do not sit at home thinking prayer alone can help you. U see those suicidal thoughts ur having, u may actually follow through with it if u allow it to progress without getting help. Yes it may seem unlikely to you Now but Believe me, depression Has a way of playing tricks on d mind. Go get help. |
