I don't know if im depressed or not.

Q.

I don't know if im depressed or not.

I cut my arms because I blame myself of a death of someone very close to me. I feel like I could have stopped it even though it was out of my control. I have really strange mood swings—one moment im happy and the next I feel like dying. The songs I listen to express how I feel, so I basically speak through my songs.

I got really angry one time at my mum because she hit me, so I ran away. It was really cold that night, maybe one degree or something. I wasn't cold one bit but I couldn't stop my body from shaking. I had thoughts unconsciously running through my mind that were really scary. I was planning my suicide. It was terrible. My body was out of control, shaking non-stop.

I have been through a lot of other things but I don't want to say them. I looked up some depression symptoms and I showed most of them. But im in denial that I have it. Do you think I do?

A.
You think you are depressed, you say you are in denial, and you say you don't want to admit it even though you know you have most of the symptoms. You wrote to us at Somazone. Maybe you feel like you don't deserve to get better: that is part of blaming yourself, and not just for your friend's death. It is also really normal for depressed people to feel this way.

I don't think you need my opinion to confirm that you are depressed. You need someone to tell you something else you already know: it is time to get some help! Writing to Somazone is pretty brave, but at this point you need someone to listen to you and to talk with you. Please phone the Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800 today. It is time to start to heal.
