Im considering going to get a diagnosis but I want to be st least a bit sure first
Posted , 3 users are following.
Im starting to be under the impression that how I feel is not normal. I'm sad quite often but for no reason. I feel emotionally tired and fed up with life even though nothing is particularly wrong with my life at the moment. I randomly distance myself from my friends and feel like shutting them off even though they have done nothing wrong and they are amazing. I'm still happy sometimes and try my best to lift up other people's moods. But I always try and ruin my mood whenever I'm happy for 1-2 days. It's like I want to be happy and stay that way consistently but my mind keeps trying to convince me to be sad for no reason. I have self harmed once but it was only because I wanted to feel something and know how I felt. Like I dident use it as relief or anything I guess I thought it might help me figure my feelings out. I wish I could just be happy consistently and not let myself get caught up in how I feel because that only makes me feel worse and then soon enough i feel tired of everything and un-motivated. I suspect I might have depression but not a severe form. But I don't want to self-diagnose myself. Should I go see someone or will this stop. I've been feeling like this on and off for a few months. I'm 14 and if I were to go to a doctor i would want to go alone because I'm scared to tell anyone unless I acctualy end up being diagnosed with something. Please help me figure this out, I'm starting to confuse myself and overthink it too much.

It's nothing to be scared about. It's important to tell someone. I would ask your parents to set up an appointment with a psychologist. I remember my neice wanted to talk with someone and her parents set the appointment for her. Sometimes, adults feel this way as well. It could be depression, aniexty or you may just need to talk with someone who is understanding...

Hi Charli, feeling this way isn't nice for you and talking to someone about how you feel will be a good thing. Don't self harm as it won't make you feel any better but do tell someone you trust what is happening and what your thinking.
My guess is that given a bit of time it will stop, your body will be changing at your age and its normal to have off days and good days, may be go see your Dr but suggest take someone with you for support but if you'd rather go yourself that's fine also.
Keep us posted.
