Depressed all the time
I'm feeling so depressed at the moment - I don't know whether it's just hormones and this is normal but everything just seems to be going wrong. I've had loads of coursework recently, and I've not had brilliant marks on that - and even though I can redraft pieces, it's like I just can't be bothered anymore, which is a terrible attitude if I want to get anywhere. I'm really tired, and always seem to be hungry - I'm always eating, and have put on lots of weight recently which just makes me more depressed!
My parents are driving me mad as well, everything they do and say just annoys me, I want to scream at them! Which is really not like me! I can see that my being moody and secretive is upsetting them, but I just can't bring myself to be cheerful! I don't know what's the matter!

Please, see your GP. I've had many friends that have suffered from depression (not because of me, I hope!) and one of them attempted suicide twice. I would be distraught if that had happened. Imagine what your friends would think if they lost you. Remember, c/w and exams aren't everything. If you feel so badly, talk to your teachers. Regarding your parents, sit down and talk with them. Say how you are feeling, and how they could resolve it. They will probably say to go to your doctor as well. Please, do it. For you family and friends if not for yourself.
It sounds really a lot like the illness depression rather than the state of mind. If you are feeling really lethargic, as you've mentioned, and your mood swings are affecting other people (and this in turn is affecting you) then I would highly recommend seeing your GP.
Admitting you feel like this, even through the means of this website is a start, and as you realise that maybe you need help, it's the first step.
Every person is different, but I really really recommend seeing your GP before you become so deeply entwined in your depression that seeing someone about it becomes impossible.

It's weird though, sometimes (mostly at school) I'm like the happiest person on the planet, I'm always laughing - people always tell me that my laughing and general smilieness makes them happy! It's mostly when I'm at home that I feel so down 
I really don't want to see my GP, she'll probably think I'm wasting her time as I think I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill.

And "brave faces" aren't always a concious decision...

Go and see your doctor and see what they suggest, perhaps you need some counselling to release some of these feelings your holding in

oo wow you sound just like me. i don't know why but i have just given up on everything.. college - i left, boyfriend - is an assole, family - annoy the **** out of me. i just can't bring myself to do anything.
i also can't stop eating, and i'm always tired too because i get really late nights...though come to think about it, i'm tired whatever time i go to bed. meh.
i'm still trying to figure out why the hell i am like this - i used to be really enthusiastic and up for anything, but now i just can't bring myself to even get out of bed in a morning. i don't feel like being happy - i have nothing to be happy about..
i know this didn't help much, but i thought i would let you know that you are in the same boat as me, and probably many other people too.
i suggest that you try and find things you really enjoy doing, and try to do them a lot... that will make you happy i'm sure. i cna't think of much else.. it's late and my brain has shut down so.. yeah.
chin up chuck.
Im feeling just the same!
I have such highs and lows during the day, like I can be all cheerful and acting like everythings all right..
but when it comes to going to bed i feel lonely, depressed and worthless..and its been affecting my degree work, as i just lay in bed some days, skip lectures etc becuase i feel down and unwanted.
And when im drunk i make emotional outbursts to people, like say I love them, text my freinds with random "your the best freind ever" texts..which were ok and drunken fun the first few times, but now it happens every time i get really drunk.
I think im scared of loosing people and not having anyone
Ive been like this for at least 2years, i find it hard to be cheerful and free, it just drags me down.
has anyone overcome depression and can give some advice please?

I suffered with it for 3 years before I went to get help. Seriously, try councelling - just being able to tell someone what's wrong really does help. If you find it doesn't, then see your GP again.
While I don't condone going on anti-depressants if you can find another way of getting help(because of the side effects and their addictive nature), they really did help me - but they were a last resort, and I went on them purely for the fact that if I didnt' do something I was going to end up hurting myself.
I dropped out of my first college because of it, and, about a year and a half later, it was destroying my relationship with my boyfriend (completely destroying it in the end) and I didn't do as well in my A levels as I knew I could.
If you're worried that it's affecting your life so much, seriously SERIOUSLY, speak to your GP. They're there to help you, and they will only recommend what they think is necessary.
I've not had a really nasty bout of depression since August now, and I came off the anti-depressants in July (of my own accord, the dr. wanted me on them till december). You just need to get out of the cycle - once you've done that you can get better so much faster.
You should go see your GP. Having said that, I went to see mine about this type of thing last week and tbh it just made me feel worse. I don't think I articulated myself very well and he didn't seem to take me seriously. He sent me for a blood test which, surprise surprise, came up negative for everything.
I don't say this to put you off - basically just make sure you take some time before you go to work out EXACTLY what you are feeling. It's probably not too extreme to run through in your head what you are going to say before you get in there. That way you'll be able to explain the gravity of what you are feeling, rather than coming across as a silly girl like I did!

OMG i feel exactly the same as you!!
Ever since i applied to cambridge ive been feeling soooo depressed about my applications, my rejections, not being good enough, feeling stupid, having parents presurize me, too many responsibilities and all my friends have left for uni so i feel soo alone.. i dont know why its affecting me so much, i just cant help feeling this burning inside of me, like im a volcano waiting to explode any minute and when im at home i keep crying at night...
Mostly at school i, like yourself, am the happiest person, or at least i act that way and i make jokes etc but this past week ive felt sooo sh*t about myself (mainly cause of my really crap lnat mark and my recent ucl rejection and cause of the fact that i never wanted to apply for law but for history instead but parents didnt let me ( so i feel like a reject basically) ). Ive been so miserable in class and i hate it because i always LOve to talk and contribute but im just not up to it cause i keep dwelling on how crap i am.. I love sports as well but i feel soo lethargic and so cant be bothered to do anything (but sing cause i love that.. diff story!! lol) and i comfort eat sooooooooo much!! ive put on soo much weight since the summer cause im so worried bout whether im going to get into uni or not and how my life will be in the end.
i used to have an idea about what i wanted to be "when i was grown up" but now im so confused and generally feel extremely under-confident and no matter what anyone says, i feel the same..
I hate feeling this way because im genuinely very lively, but now i just cant help feeling upset and down all the time and i cant fake being happy anymore.. ive had enough of everything and everyone..
