Am I depressed?

For the past couple of months now my mind has been constantly buzzing. I've been trying really hard to get the grades I want to get into uni, but am being pressured by parents to go somewhere I don't want to go. Over the past week, I've been crying on/off whenever I've been alone in the house. I feel so empty and alone.

The funny thing is, my friends are being the best they've ever been, but I just don't want to admit I'm on a downer, so haven't been going out with them. Its got to the point now where I can't look forward to anything, I don't care about what grades I get in the end.

As for my sleeping, I've been going to sleep about 2am and waking up at 6..I cry myself to sleep and wake up crying. Deep down, I think I feel depressed, this isn't juist hormornes. But then I don't want to admit I'm depressed, I'm not the type to make a fuss and don't want family interfering.

:frown:

I'm really down, but does this sound like I'm depressed?

There is obviously something affecting you. Maybe you should really talk to your parents about what they want. Tell them what you want. Tell them they are not helping atm. Go out with your friends, don't become a secluse or you will get worse. It seems that you've had a lot of pressure building up over a length of time and now you can't take anymore. Thats normal, don't worry.

I think by you coming here and talking about it is a positive sign and I would suggest you go to you Doc's just for a chat if anything, don't worry bout making a fuss....your not!! :smile:

Hope I helped, even if only a little bit :smile:

Good luck

Talk to your parents about where you really want to go. It's your life. Tell them how much it's getting you down.If you're not sleeping you can't work well. Get medication if necessary. It would be a same not to get the grades you deserve. Good luck
