Sad about nothing.

For about 2 weeks or more, I've been feeling sad about nothing at all. there hasn't been a death or some sort of problem going on with my family or friends and I still feel sad, I cry and I don't know whats the point in life anymore. I wonder all the time why im going to school (im 14) or why im living if theres really no point of it if im going to die someday and why not just die now? my sleeping habits are crazy and changing (from sleeping really late to waking up really early or really late) and I cant even concentrate on doing one thing properly. but I guess I just really want to know why im sad about nothing...

dont panic !!! I went through a phase of feeling exactlly the same ... tell a friend how you feel you won't look stupid they will really understand as this is whta I did! they will help you get through it dont worry please dont feel sad xx

Sport is OK, of course, but also visit a psychologist, not a doctor, and no medication please, especially for your age. Another suggestion: think again about the reason for your depression.

thanks ..

I have had that exact thing! just try & be happy hang out with your friends & don't go on any medication l it will pass hunn its part of growing upp .

I agree, do not go on medication, not at your age. It could just be your hormones acting up and it may pass, but it could also be depression. I suffered from really bad depression not that long ago, I had crazy suicidal thoughts, I only slept for two hours a night, I was always having panic attacks, it was just horrible. But before giving into medication I talked to several doctors and they all digged deep inside me and talked to me and we actually figured out some things that cause my depression and were able to work on it, I am currently still working on it but I am getting better. If I were you though, I would wait it out, see if it passes, but if it continues after awhile go see a doctor. Best of luck to you

These are some symptoms of depression.

Constant sadness

Lack of motivation

Irritability

Trouble concentrating

Feelings of isolation, not as involved with family and friends

Loss of interest in favorite activities

Hopelessness


Feeling worthless or guilty for no reason

Thoughts of death or suicide

Fatigue

Low energy

Trouble sleeping

Significant weight change

Also, do any of these symptoms affect your ability to be yourself and function on a daily basis? For example, do your symptoms interfere with your interaction with family and friends, or your enjoyment of favorite hobbies or activities?

You are depressed....I was like this before too. What you need to do is talk to your parents and tell them to take you to the doctor....Tell the doctor the same thing you told us and he will probably put you on a depression medicine. Believe me,, it will help. It helped me......
