Am I Depressed? What Do I Do?
Question by : Am I depressed? what do i do?
I’m 14, just turned it January 15th. For a month or two now, I’ve been really really sad. Just all of the sudden became that way. My granddad, who is my life, got bladder cancer and him and my maammaw have been in North Carolina. He just had his surgery, he’s not doing too well. I miss them so much. I’m used to going over there every day and sitting with them and just talking. My dad works out of state. I only see him 4-8 days a month. He’s losing his job and they’ve lowered his pay by alot. I can’t even remember the last time he’s taken me out to eat or bought me something. I blame all my problems on my mom. She went through a drug addiction and stole alot of our money. I wanted my dad to divorce her, but he said “She’d have no reason to get better if he left her.” Usually for my birthday, I would be really excited and happy, but this year, I just don’t care. I didn’t even want anything. I just did homework on my birthday and my friends stayed the night.. I am failing. I used to get straight A’s, now I’m failing English. It’s so hard for me to keep my grades up. I don’t know what happened. I am so alone. I have three really awesome friends, but I can’t talk to them about this. I used to go to church all the time, I haven’t been in forever. I have lost my interest in God… I cry all the time over stupid stuff. I feel like crying when I can’t open a pop or spell a word. I just don’t know what to do…. I know this isn’t normal. Should I go to therapy or something?

You seem like you’ve been through a lot, it’s too much to take on when your just 14 years old. I would advise you to talk to your father about this, but honestly, in your situation, it’s better if you see a psychiatrist. Don’t feel weird about it though, lots of people go to psychiatrists, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Good luck darling.
