Early signs of depression?
As this is anonymous let me start of by saying I am guy doing my Alevels.
I consider myself normal in most aspects of life. But I am increasingly finding myself worrying about various minor problems. This only happens when I am alone. I would be sitting there all fine watching tv,revising or listening to music and I would just begin to drift of into thought. After a few minutes I find myself thinking of random problems in my life(nothing major just small problems about anything from money to family). The problem is I cant stop thinking of them and I get this depression feeling over me hard to explain, its that feeling when you are really worried. I try and snap my mind out of it and concentrate on somthing else but I can still feel the worry and it just makes me feel more isolated and upset. A couple of hours later I eventually forget it and I am back to my normal state.
Like I mentioned, this is not really a serious issue, I am fine most of the time and I dont go all crazy when it happens but I am just worried could this be how depression starts. What I worry about is not really that important as in when I feel normal I wouldnt give it a second thought. I am not a shy person in general, I am always really social at college or have any childhood traumas.
Anyone else get this? Possible early signs of depression?

It does sound like the early signs of depression to me, and perhaps some anxiety issues aswell.
Its often natural for teenagers to start getting issues like yours especially as you start heading towards the prospect of more responsibillity and jobs, carrear.
Theres no reason for you to start panicing just yet as it could just be a phase, but if your still having problems after a few weeks then you should consider going to see your doctor

actually, this is wierd but i've been feeling exactly like you for the last couple of weeks.
i dont know whether its the same thing, but i feel kind of in a permanent state of worry
that doesn't make sense, but whatever. like even now, i feel like theres lots of things going on in my mind, making me all worried. but i think mine might just be because of exam stress.

Thanks for the feedback, I was worried it might be that. You mention anxiety issues though, this never occured me but I definetly do have them, at those times I spoke of I always felt more anxious rather then depressed. I'll give it a few weeks like you suggest and try keep myself occupied more.

It doesn't sound exactly like depression to me (although it could be). The fact that you've recognised the way you're feeling and are trying to do something about it is a very good sign.
It sounds more like you have a few too many worries on your plate, and they are starting to creep up on you in the form of anxiety. Whether you do something about it or not is up to you, and depends on whether the anxiety gets worse or not - a friend of mine was able to go to the doctor and get some pills to mellow herself, and they seemed to really help. But if you feel that you're in control, you could just work on recognising the feelings for what they are, and just working through them i.e. 'why am I feeling like this, what can I do about the situation, what can I do to help lift my mood' etc.
