For the past year, I have been progressively changing my attitude towards everything. I wake up, and have nothing to look forward to in my day. I feel like my body is literally in auto pilot, and I am separated from the rest of the world. I am usually not that social with people in school, which sucks. I feel tired all the time and just don't want to do anything. I seemed to have lost motivation that I once had. I literally feel like I have nothing in my life to make me feel happy. No purpose. I do enjoy computers and electronics, but I never get to do anything related to that in school. I'll admit that I am very knowledgeable in programming, electrical engineering, and all around knowledge of computers. This past month, it seems as if I have become self aware of my issue, and it is becoming even worse. I have gotten to the point where I don't even talk to my friends at school, I just feel so upset. I often bust out crying at night sometimes. I feel like none of my friends will understand me, because they have never experienced such a thing. I literally feel like I need someone to hug, and love. I know, it sounds cheesy. Is this what depression feels like to most people? Is there anything that I can do naturally to cure this?

I'm 16.

you should talk to someone about this. depression can lead to suicide. talk to a trusted person about this

Depression is in a majority of everyone. It's just like a sickness. Do you think having a cold is weird? Do you think getting the flu is weird? It's just a illness that you have to overcome.

Seeing that you're still in highschool, I suggest that you start taking antidepressants that don't affect you negatively. Prozac is GREAT for youth.

yes, antidepressants will help. still though, seek help from another person

you need to talk this matter out with someone.

I can feel the time you are going through. Keep yourself strong, emotionally.
