Do I have Depression?
I've been feeling this way for about a few months, but it seems like its gotten worse the past few weeks. A lot of the time I feel sad for no reason, and it seems like I should be happy, I don't have a bad life, yet I can never feel genuinely happy. I cry A LOT when I'm alone, for no apparent reason, and I get overly upset when something goes wrong. I'm also tired all the time, especially lately, I literally can sleep for 12-13 hours and still be tired the rest of the day. I try to exercise regularly, but lately I've had just about zero motivation to do so, I still try to force myself to though. I spend almost all my time alone recently, I barely ever contact my friends anymore. I'm 17 by the way, and I've had a boyfriend for two months. It seems like the only time I actually feel happy is when I'm talking to him. Lately I haven't even been putting any effort into my appearance. Sometimes I honestly feel completely worthless, I don't harm or have suicidal thoughts though. I also have a hard time talking to people, its pretty much impossible for me to have a conversation with anyone besides my few close friends. I also feel extremely self-conscious, even when no one's around, I don't like when people see what I'm doing, and constantly fear doing the wrong thing. I don't know if maybe this is just how teenagers feel and I'm just overreacting, I'm afraid to go to my parents, because I don't want to be a bother, especially if nothing is actually wrong with me.
