depressed?

[Blazer06]

apparently i am depressed. i guess im realizing this. what really made me relize it is that i was plaing a game that i like to play (stepmania... i.e. dance dance reveloution), and i played like two songs, did bad on one and just felt like crying. and i just didnt feel like playing at all. now i feel dead inside, and dont want to do anything.

i think i need help. i dont think i can cope with this. problem is, i cant tell my parents.

idk what to do. help me.

You should really your parents. I'm sure they both love you and would help you through whatever you're going through.

Blaze dude, talk to US if you need someone to talk to. No judgements here.

I am curious though, do you have a bad relationship with your parents that you feel you can't talk to them, or do you just feel like they wouldn't understand?

Being a young parent, I worry that my kids won't talk to me and if anything, I'd like to know what makes a person not be able to talk to their parents. I had/have a pretty decent relationship with my folks.

Don't sweat the silly season, guy. Maybe this Stress Test can help.

Blaze, let me tell you a parent's viewpoint.

My 18 yr old daughter has something troubling her deeply. I know it, and I know I could help - but she seems unable to open up & talk about it.

It's flat killing me not being able to work this out.


Whatever it is, talk to your parents. Even if THEY are the problem. They may not know how deeply it's affecting you.

Friday should be one big party though

yeah man, i know how you're feeling right now, completely unmotivated, and it seems like if something can go wrong, it does. Depression sucks, but usually your depression is caused by something that is aggrivating some part of your life, and it needs fixing. Simple as that, right now i am having trouble fixing what ails me, and so im really having a bad time all the time. Talk to us about it, i can certainly offer some advice, im usually good for that.

let us know.

sometimes it kinda jumps up when there are things you have been letting "slide"..things you know you should do and stuff like that...sometimes you just need to get some positive stuff happening...not necessarily anything major either..just a few little positive accomplishments

Tell parents? Why? Like most parents, they'll overreact then think they can help it by telling everybody and trying to get professionals to help you or whatever. Another thing is that it will get weird when you are around your parents. They won't look at you the same and you won't look at them the same; it gets all ....weird.

I'd say talk to us about it. We don't judge you, it won't get "weird" and you could probably care less what we think of you.

I too have exams right now and it's a little stressful. I'm not really worried though since I actually expect to fail
