Is This Depression, Or Not?
<div class="IPBDescription">I'm sad lately....</div> I don't think this is depression, cause if it was, I'd probably be looking at the wall, deeling sad about nothing, but this just can't be right.
Since school started, I began to isolate myself at school. First, I would just say "Hi" to my friends, as usual, hang around with them, but say nothing. Then, things started to get worse. Now, I'm isolating myself from everyone at school. I try to get to school as early as possible, so then, I get my stuff, go into the class, and just sleep, or read a book. Then, when my friends come in, they are like "Hello" and I just wave at them, then continue to read.
I try to eat as fast as I can, so then I can go to the library and sit down in the Science Section, where no one goes. When I'm leaving school, I sit down in an isolated place, near the parking place. When I see my friends comming at my direction, I try and find another way to go to where I was going, I avoid all teachers, I stopped talking to everyone. In class, I stoped arguing my ideas, stoped talking with my friend next to me in class.
When I sit down, I shrink myself, so that no one will notice me, I stopped going to movies and LAN houses, I stopped doing homework. All I do now is ****-off my friends in class, and that's it.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME!!!!

Doesn't sound like depression though, but then again I'm no expert.

Ahhh...depression all right.
Trust me, you'll come to your senses VERY soon <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
If you're about 14-16 or thereabout, you're probably perfectly normal. Some people are affected more, some less, but everyone I've known got moody around that age. I remember had it bad (though that was enhanced by other factors as well) and was even considering suicide. I read a lot of books and mostly just sat to myself and dreamed (the two are related). Life pretty much sucked those days, or at least so I thought. I read and dreamed because I didn't have to deal with it then. Eventually though, I snapped out of it and life turned out not to be a complete waste of time afterall.
People deal with it in different ways. I day-dreamed, some of my friends denied it (involved alcohol and parties, and in some cases, heavier drugs). A minority think they won't get over it and end their life. I don't know which way is the "correct" one (though suicide is probably not the best...), but it will hardly matter once it's over. And, well, while it's still going on, there's very little I can say that'll actually influence your thinking.
Rest assured, you'll get over it. I'd advise you to explain your situation to your friends though, because they might misinterpret your signals otherwise and one day you might find yourself without friends because they thought you didn't like them. Talk to them, because they can help you. Believe me, I probably wouldn't be alive to type this today if a girl (with whom I now share a very close bond, sort of like a sister) in my class didn't help me out. I know it's hard to take the first step because I wasn't able to do it myself, but you should try. You don't sound as if you are going to kill yourself if you don't, but it'll be over faster if you do.
What I would really say is just talk to somone. I mean FORCE yourself. Go up, talk with your friends, do the whole shabang.
I dont think its depression, but what the hell do I know really.
You could be under a lot of stress and not really even be aware of it. Maybe you've set some really high standards for yourself (academically?) and are afraid of failing and not meeting up to them. You're sad because you're too worried to enjoy your successes.
The opinions of your teachers and friends are important to you, what they think of you. You're avoiding them because you don't want them to see that you're worried, stressed out and depressed about possibly screwing things up.
The thing is, your teachers, friends, parents all realize you're human, you make mistakes like everyone else, and won't hold it against you for failing in trying to do better. What's important is not necessarily placing happiness before achieving your goals, but being confident that you're doing the best you can. If so, there's no reason to worry, and all the reason to be happy with who you are and how you're doing.
No great person lived without falling at least once.

Well, you need to post how you feel and not how you do <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> It might be a depression there are loads of different one and such. Although it doesnt neccesarily sound like one from your descriptions <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
you shouldnt take it too seriously, tho id like to know why you worry so much your doing this if your the one doing it.. its not quite depression, seems like your just isolating yourself away from the community. (who wouldnt...)
The strange thing is, that I don't feel nothing. It seems like my mind if blocked on feelings. I just isolate myself from people, for no reason. Can't be winter cold, cause it's summer where I live and everyday is soemthing like 28 degrees.
I like to hang out with my friends, to make fun of the teachers, just chill. But now, don't feel like it.
Well, dunno if it's a high-school thing, like most said, cause I'm going through that age. Could also be academical stuff, like Phoenix said. I do have high standards, like being top 5 in class, going to MIT, etc. But then again, maybe it isn't, cause school started 3 weeks ago, and we got more then 20 homeworks already. I'v only done 6... I can't seem to even get my bag at home and study.
im serious... i went thru a phase at around 15... i wasnt bullied... just didnt want to be a part of the general crap that goes on. and i felt alone. but equally.. i didnt want to be included.
i met a girl. and its like... my little world.. evolved into a larger one. and it was so good to have somebody to share everything with etc
altho this may not apply... just throwin my comments in.. i was an early starter with females tho so i had the confidence...
but yeah.. ultimately...it could be because you lost soemthing u liked alot. i mean its thats simple, but nobody knows the answer except you.
Also just to help, Listen to any music by KoRn
that helped me thru a very ruff time, if you dont like the music just listen to John davis sing (lead singer of koRn) u feel better for it.
anyone on these boards tell me Korn are crap or anything, dont cuz this thread aint for that type of thing, and i will just class you as an immature selfish soandso
...... oh my god..... Ya know..... that's exactly how I feel...... even the age is correct......
I'm feeling alone and sad about that, but I don't want to be included..... Can't get a girl though..... all of the girls that I know have bf, and the ones who don't.... well.... let's just say that you cannot have a normal conversation with them before they scream "OMG!! THOSE SHOES IS SOOO COOL!!!" (the frase has no gramatical error. That is how they actually say)
