Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
So I've been feeling like i get no sleep, i lost interest in almost EVERYTHING and i just want to lay in bed all day and never leave. Also I cut myself so thats all i think about doing. But I was just wondering if its possible for depression to get worse instead of better. Because I use to be able to do the things and i wasnt this tired but now its terrible. I'll go to bed at like 8:00pm and wake up at 6:00am for school and i feel like i havent slept for days. And i use to not mind playing the saxophone but now i cant stand it. Ugh.....I just wish i could go back in time and change EVERYTHING.
Seems like your emotional side is having a lot of effect on your sleeping , people with depression usually have problems to sleep or feel like theres no rest after waking up , that is something you will overcome when you start to improve your emotional side
You said all you been thinking about is cutting yourself
but what you should be really thinking about is how to heal yourself from your wounds , the ones in your heart
I dont know when your depression began and the reasons for it
but you should keep in mind that you should have your own reasons to rise up agaisnt all of it , life will always give you reasons to give up on things and stop fighting
You should be wise and not fall for that
dont let yourself go by the situations in your life , past or present
you should be directing yourself where to go
You said you wish you could go back in time and change everything , well you cant go back in time but you can change everything in your present and build a better future for yourself
I hope you understand all that Im saying
if youre not , you can come and talk to me , Id try to explain that you are much better than you think you are
Take care
wish you well
The longer it remains untreated the deeper, longer, and more frequent depressive episodes will become.
You can't go back in time but you can see your doctor about antidepressant medication so you can go forward in time again. I'm sorry you feel like hell, even to the point of self-injury. This is very serious now, and its essential that you get the help you need asap.
Why are you so positive and encouraging? Isnt she in enough pain and fear already.. Predicting that it can go into psychosis? Come on!
What is your medical degree in? Because even a medical doctor does NOT have a crystal bal.
Cassandra: Listen: Just get yourself to the doctor, okay? Depression can get better, and most of the time it does. But get help. The sooner you go, the sooner the help. Best to you.

Pease people get your correct and REAL information from your doctors, not laypersons who think they know it all from one site.
Informing people, when you know very little or are inaccurate in what you say can be so damaging.
Please, poster, see a doctor abut all of this. Follow his/her advice. If necessary, get a second opnion.
