Depression

[Bridge]

Obviously depression brought about by hormonal imbalances and the confusing social climate during the teenage years is not comparable to clinical depression. Even if you in particular do have severe depression, that does not mean it isn't usually a phase that passes. I have gone through something similar to what you describe, bouts of crippling depression that seem totally insurmountable and they passed for me. I get the blues every now and then, even days where I'm so depressed I can't function, but that is normal. Again, this assumes that you don't actually have a reason for being depressed. If it's just a looming feeling of sadness you either wait it out or seek help, but if it is caused by something in particular the only way to resolve it is to fix that particular problem.

P.S. You're in high school? At 33? Or is your age incorrect?
