Ok, here is the thing.. I am 17 years old, I have a normal life etcc... But am running into some problems. I think am getting into depression. I normally go out with friends have a good time, play sports, etc.. But I keep acting weird at home. My dad is the nicest guy in the world, helps me with everything, talks to me about everything.. I consider him not just my dad, but my best friend. But now some how i have been a complete jerk to him all this days.. For reasons am not aware off. I just cant take it anymore, something i think am just dumb and i dont know, i should drive as fast as i can when i am doing so.. What am trying to say is that, i just dont care if i die or keep living.. Not that i want to kill my self but it just happened to come to me and take over my mind. I want to be a fighter pilot, and fly. I know i have a big future in front of me, but i just sometimes DON'T CARE ANYMORE. I have been a really good student, never failed any of my classes, nor get D's. Now i have almost all D's and C's in all my classes.. I am kind of exited that it is my senior year and i graduate once and for all.. then i can become a freshman again "laugh laugh". I keep telling my self to get out of it, but it seem to be stronger then me.. I have never been involved in drugs, nor smoking.. I have drink before with my friends, but is because i wanted, not because of peer pressure. I though going to the doctor and talk to him about it, but i feel that i want to get over it my self.. What u guys think, i need some answers please.. Thanks in advance

don't kill you. it is bad to do. you afraid of future, and think you never find place in world. that is normal in 17 age. i go doctor, and he help a lot with problems. you need go to doctor and tell him your problem, he help you, and you get better, have fun, and don't be depressed.

I have been where you are now, and i know what it is like.

But the good thing there is a way around this, it takes courage and swallowing pride, but this is what you have to do. (it worked for me)

You said that your Dad is like your best friend, Talk to your Dad, tell him how you have been feeling, and ask him to help you get through this tough time, Go with your Dad to the doctor and get a referral to see a Specialist, They are there to help, not to criticize.

Depression can be caused by a lot of things but most of the time it is caused by an imbalance in Hormones and/or diet, your doctor will be able to tell you this.

I asked for help with my depression, and i am now a Strong 22 year old, who can tackle anything in life, mainly because i learn't That it is ok to talk about it, that it's not just me that is going through this.

Hang in there mate you will get through this.

Thanks guys, it helped me. Now I don't care about depression and i came to the conclusion of what caused it. I have notice that i am in my room in front of the computer for a long time and i barely talk to my family. Well this past weeks i have done the opposites and it seem to work. I talked to my dad, and he told me that "i'll never leave you alone", it made me feel safer.. Thanks guys i really appreciate ur time..

Well you said that you have gone through the depression but still to give my opinion-I fully understand you 18 years old here last year at school, some partial problems with my divorces parents but not serious. I also consider them more like friends. Some problems with girls but I will get over them sooner or later. Here is what I wrote in another topic like this:

And I thought my problems with examinations after I finish school and with girls were worth a depression sad.gif You are really going through a hard time sad.gif I can fully agree with itek4u-try to grab some single ray of hope. When I am said I aways listen to my favourite songs no matter what their lyrics are-I mean even depressing lyrics hope a lot smile.gif. Like for example listen to this one-it really has some good lyrics: Good Charlotte - Hold on . It really helps me hold on smile.gif . Start thinking about good things, dream when you lay your head to bed smile.gif Try to see life in a positive way- I know it's really hard but it's worth fighting for! And remember: "That that don't kill me can only make mi stronger!"
*********
So really believe me you will handle it I'm trying also to handle my problems. And btw I also wonder- I am not in a depression but I might go to "doctor"-it helps talking with someone about this stuff

The absolute answer, my friend, is: Do as your heart commands.
Your family surely sounds great, what couldn't have given for having a dad as cool as yours xD.
Enjoy what you have! Don't care for what you don't!
Cheers xD I know you're better already, but it's not bad to try and make you feel even better xD
