Hi, I feel like I might have depression. I'm tired and sad pretty much all the time, I cry a lot and feel jealous towards other people who seem to have happier lives than me. I was teased a lot through most of my life, a lot of it for stupid things, and it's really knocked my self confidence. I've also been failing at a lot of things, like my A Levels (and I used to be in the top group), and being terrible at my driving lessons, and this is also making me depressed. Then I think, maybe I am really stupid for thinking and feeling this way. There are people who've been raped, their families or friends died, people suffering from horrible injuries and illnesses, etc. None of this has happened to me thankfully, and I really think I should man up, but even bad things that happen to others can make me depressed. And then little things that happen to me upset me, like my computer crashing, my hair taking long to grow, boys not noticing me anymore. My mind is pretty much clouded with confusion and sadness a lot. Am I stupid, or could I be mentally unstable from being affected by things so much? Do most depression sufferers get it from some nasty event, or can you just be predisposed to it?
