Am I depressed
Hi I’m 16 and I’m not diagnosed with depression so I’m not going to self diagnose myself and say I have it but sometimes I feel like I might. I have however been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder so it often makes life pretty challenging. I have a really hard time being happy and I often only feel nothing, stressed or sad. Getting up and doing stuff throughout the day can be really hard. I don’t have any motivation to do anything productive. Even non productive things like playing video games feels like a task some times and I just want to lay in bed and cry. The only thing that distracts me from my emotions are my friends. I have 4 friends but only two of them really enjoy talking to me. I usually laugh when I’m with them but I’m not happy. It’s an odd feeling because I feel like I’m supposed to be happy but I’m just not. And I’m not sad either it’s just nothing. It does feel good to laugh though because I feel like I’m making progress but it always reminds me that I’m not ok.
I laugh through the weird unsure pain too. You are so not alone. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense. I don’t get it. But thank you for your post. It selfishly put a lot into persecutive for me, we are so similar. Like spot on. We aren’t the only ones who feel this way and I just NOW realized that. Thank you so much, and I will think of you. A lot. And our similar struggles ❤️
I feel the same the only difference is I don't cry. I just feel nothing/neutral all the time(except if my anxiety attack kicks in)
i feel the exact same way, but i feel like i sort of became depressed, then started getting anxiety attacks (self diagnosing myself). i am crying all the time, and feel like i have to be happy for others, i feel nothing but emptiness, and i’m always tired. i’m not ok, but idk what to do
