I'm a 16 yr old male, I live in a somewhat normal household, but am afraid to talk about how I'm feeling to my parents and even a doctor. From the middle of February to the end of May, I was sick of life, I felt hopeless, like nothing mattered, I felt empty, and felt as though no one truly liked me, like they were being nice just to make me feel better, looking back I can't remember any events that went on during that time, its like a giant blackout, I had friends to talk to and they said I should talk to my parents or a doctor about it and maybe I could get prof. help. Well it went away sort of during June and now, as of a the beginning of July, its starting to come back, I'm feeling empty, like a loser that doesn't matter, and recently I have had an unusual obsession with the though of death and its creeping me out, I'm not suicidal, but I think about what its like A lot. But now my friends again are saying maybe I should ask for help, but I'm afraid to talk to a doctor or my parents because I feel like they would think I'm a weirdo or some sicko or something, that or my parents would say I live in a loving home, there's nothing to be sad and depressed about, I don't know what to do anymore, any suggestions?:confused:

Often something even as simple as what you eat and don't eat can affect how you feel about life.
Some things you can try getting in the habit of are get more vitamin B's in your diet, soak in a warm bath, get on a regular sleep pattern, exercise, find interesting hobby, find some fulfilling things to do.
If these don't help make a difference go to a therapist and talk with them.

For some reason you have gone into a depression. You would be well served to find someone to help you get to your underlying emotions that are making you sick.

A person can have great anger toward "someone", but be afraid to think of anger because of social upbringing, and keep that anger inside which makes for emotional sickness.

People who express their emotions in a healthy, timely manner do not, for the most part, have depression and some other illnesses.

Give voice to your emotions, dear one. :)
