So depressed right now I can’t even sit up. I’m been eating very little each day-my dad yelled at me yesterday because of it-because I have no appetite. I’ll start eating something and get nauseous or not have the energy to finish it. I had nightmares last night that I went to college and was completely lost and miserable and needed to kill myself. I’ve made friends at my dance place but they haven’t exchanged numbers or asked to hang out outside of dance-does that mean they don’t really like me?

Your dad has no right yelling at you for something you can’t help. If you could eat you would eat. I got the opposite problem…my depression causes me to overeat. Does he even understand what depression is?
Idk. I told him awhile ago I was depressed and he didn’t do anything. He pooh-poohed it as a family member leaving, not sleeping enough, etc, etc. and yet if my sister says she has a headache then he makes her out to be some heroic martyr. I know he cares about me but….
Most people just don’t get us. Depression is a deep, chronic, and very complex illness.
Your dad is simplifying everything. He needs to study up on this condition and show you some damn empathy. You didn’t ask to be brought into this world. You surely didn’t ask for the cards you were dealt with.
I been a lifelong sufferer. It effects us both mentally and physically.
– In non depressed individuals, the synapses in the brain produce natural feel good chemicals such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. In our case, those synapses are compromised.
– This leads to the brain mass producing a stress hormones called cortisol….which is distributed thoughout the body; causing physical systems such as sleep and appetite disturbances.
Your dads got it all backwards. You are not depressed due to lack of sleep and a poor appetite….you have a poor appetite and lack of sleep because of the depression!
You’re a victim. He’s treating you as if you did something wrong.
Was the making friends part, part of your dream? If it’s not it doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t like you. Just in time they will exchange numbers and hangout. They might not want someone they don’t know too well having their number yet, you know? You should initiate the hangout though! It sounds like theirs a group of them and in some cases the click won’t extend to new friends. Just go for it! (:
Physical symptoms* not systems. Typo.
Yeah I don’t know why he’s like that. I think he just doesn’t take it seriously and thinks I’m just being dramatic. And no it wasn’t a part of my dream and yeah I guess. I guess I just feel a little hurt because I like talking to this one person but I think I enjoy talking to them more than they enjoy talking to me :-(.
