      You shouldn't really be here because you have to tick a box confirming you're over 18 to join.

      I was 13 also when I went through that. Maybe it could have something to do with age? Weirdd.

    I dont know, is being depressed normal? of course its normal you would have to be a complete moron to think depression isnt normal. I know for a fact you know depression is normal in this world. The real purpose of this story is for people to go "aww poor you" which is pathetic it makes me wonder if your actualy depressed and not just this attention seeking depressed. My advice to you is grow up and stop trying to get attention for being "depressed" (if you even are) on a website.

    go talk to someone. you may want to consider changing the way you perceive your life.you shouldn't have to make yourself suffer this much.
    maybe you just hit puberty. =\ it's ok. your body is changing. you'll turn out ok.

    Make a list of everything you are thankful for in your life and start from there.

      making a list of everything you are thankful for in your life ,doesnt help. i did that, and i wanted to commit suicide because i felt guilty and that i was ruining good things and letting people down.
      the best thing to do is talk to someone who you can trust, and tell them how you feel

    My big brother also lives in the house I live in and he has been depressed for nearly all of his life since he was a child due to whats happened in his life so I know the difference between being depressed and wanting to be seen as depressed I can only guess that you are going through a phase.

    Wow!! I am sorry that you are having this struggle and even more sorry that your site has become battle ground for the restless forget about it all!!
    Listen when I say this because everyone has forgot to recognize what is being said so I will tell you what I hear!
    Your hurting on the inside and your mind never rests because of what you have been through which according to you is "a lot" you need to talk to someone and get this stuff out and off your mind it's in your best interest as young as you are to invest some time just finding someone you can just talk to IT WILL HELP! focus on the little things in life the things that make you happy and smile as hard as that may be for you just try and do it but the most importNt thing you can do is realize that there is NOTHING you can do to change the past and no matter what you do now it won't change or make it different you have to be in the here and now I know it hurts and your mind has a hard time letting things go but try to focus on you right now and talk to someone cause it will only get worse if you don't trust me! I've been through some horrible shit too and I held it in for a long time and I am telling you what I wish someone told me 15 years ago talk to someone! Take it one day at a time hope this helps :) all the best

    Don't assume you'll grow out of it. You can hope, but if you assume that it's going to happen you're just losing time if it doesn't. It can take a very long time to find the right psychiatric medications that can help for chronic depression. Best to get started now.

    Most people have no understanding of depression. They assume that situational depression is all there is. That there's always a reason. Something to get over if you "stay positive". They don't realize that there is true chronic depression, with no apparent cause, that no amount of positive thinking can fix.

    I'm honestly not sure. Maybe talk to your parents or a doctor about it. I really hope things get better soon. :) <3

      Yes, you're normal, pretty much all teenagers go through this. Until next time, take care of yourself and each other.

    They don't have to have a reason. Hormonal imbalance? There could be many reasons to feel sad for no reason at all. The first one was to see what it was like? So are you gay now? (Not being mean, jw)I do the same thing with my friends so you're not special or different. I guess loser was loosely typed. You beg for attention, even hate, I guess I just don't understand you. I've never met someone with such rage for no apparent reason. I'm a gullable fool? I'm just having fun on this site. None of it is as serious as you make it out to be. Gosh, you're just so immune to everything. You feel nothing. Blah blah blah!

      I never claimed to be special or different so that statement you mentioned was to try to disrupt my thoughts. No I am not gay im just not interested in relationships of the whole idea of love. I beg for attention? Not really I only reply to people if they reply to me if they dont reply then I dont reply and I comment of stories, how is that attention seeking? please share with me how I am "attention seeking". Im not angry or full of rage the way I type may seem like im being aggresive or "angry" but im never angry and havent been since I was a child. I dont see the site to be something serious but just because something isnt serious doesnt mean its suppost to be fun. The last part I dont think you understand I think about situations (mentally) I never feel them (emotionally).

        It wasn't to disrupt your thoughts. I honestly believe that you have a problem. Thats my opinion. With the whole love thing, you're young, eventually, you won't be such a waste of air. I didn't reply to you. I replied to the poster mentioning that some people (you) were jerks. Who are you to say it's not supposed to be fun? Why would you be on here if you don't get anything out of it? I suggest that if you don't like where this site is going, maybe try to find one you do like. Maybe then you won't be making unwanted comments all the time.

          I dont have a problem infact if I do then it doesnt really matter I dont see who I am as a "problem" and just because someone even if specialists say I did then to them I would have a problem but to me I would just see it as being me. I am young blood just turned 18 a while ago and still have no interest in most things and I do know for a fact I will be this way for ever and that isnt me saying "aww im sad because im going to be this person for ever" thats me saying I know I will be this way and I dont see anything wrong with being who I am. Yes you said there are jerks and directed it towards me using those arrows etc if you had just said "There are jerks on this site" I know you would be talking about me but didnt do it in a way that it was directed at me individualy. "Who are you to say its not to be about fun" not me the creators if you read the information about what the site is about at the "home" page you would realise. If something was only made of "wanted comments" then what would be the pint in making a comment section if your only expected to leave positive comments?

    Some people are jerks^^. I know what you're going through. All I did was surround myself with people and pretended that I was just an amazingly happy person. It didn't take long before I actually started to be. I think its a mind game. Once you fall into depression, its kind of addicting and hard to get back out of it. I have faith you will make it throughh. Good luck!

      Being a jerk doesnt excuse them from telling the truth, I guess thats something you dont understand.

        This person says they don't know why they are sad. If they were looking for attention, they would probably give a bs reason. You are the most ignorant, stuck up person I have ever met. I bet you're single and will die alone. If not single now, you will be. People like you don't deserve friends. You should go to a deserted island with the rest of the losers like you. :)

          Ah I like how you completely avoided my reply. Yes they didnt give us a reason then what is their reason for being sad? Nope I do not have a girlfriend nor do I want one (right now your probably thinking oh its because he cant get one) which is not the case yes I have only had two girlfriends the first one was to see what its like (It wasnt fun atall) the second girlfriend was for a skateboard. Friends arent something I want in life I only consider one person to be a friend the people who "think" im their friends dont realise im only being "friends" with them so I can fit in to the social norm and dont get any unneeded attention. Being alone and dying alone isnt something I fear or even dislike infact I would say its a good thing. I would gladly go to a deserted island but just so I can be by myself so I dont have to be in a society of basic idiotic people. Loser you say? being a loser is a matter of opinion because you disagree with who I am makes me a looser? I may be a looser I dont see anything wrong with being one but then again it matters on opinion atleast it is better than being a gullable fool (directed towards you). All in all your whole reply to me was intended to insult,hurt or get me angry when infact it has done none of those things. Just a heads up nothing anyone can say can make me feel sad or upset mainly because im not one to be upset or happy so before you go thinking later on that a reply like the one you sent will "get to me" im just going to tell you that you will be waisting your time.

    I think that you should get a rat or small animal, take the intestines out, and put it in someone's fried rice at a chinese restraunt. then you can take a baking shit and crush ants with it. its amazingly addictive
