I think I could be depressed
Hi, I'm Ines. I'm a 12 year old girl, and I think I might be depressed. I think this because I feel sad often for no apparent reason. I often feel like I'm about to cry for no apparent reason, it just hits me. I also self harm, but just scratching with a pocket knife. I find it hard to sleep sometimes, and I often have strange dreams- the other day I had one where I was taking anorexia pills and I overdosed. I get headaches and lose my appetite quite often too, and I get anxiety and get nervous very easily because I'm very shy. This was my last resort after countless google searches, help please? Today was a bad day, and I don't want to go on like this.
Dear, You should be able to distinguish between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also brings on symptoms identical to depression but they are short lived. Were you disappointed in the near past? Please post a private question to me with every detail. I will help you. Take care.
