Feelings about 2012 Changed.

I read on this website and i learned how to debunk everything. But it was not until a few days ago that i got this feeling, a feeling of depression i think.

I feel like im tired all the time and all thats on my mind is "School work and 2012"
I used to love to play videos games and now cant even sit my self infront of my computer.
I also love to BMX and everytime i go out side i do something and then go inside because i think its worthless.
I also start tearing out of nowhere some time.
It feels like it is not real life and it is some depressing story.

Am i depressed? or am i just going through a moment.

Can you help do something to make me feel better

Thats probably a better question to ask a professional. I will admit this, and I don't think its uncommon for people to go through spouts of down state or anxiety state. I go through moments in my life were I feel down and don't want to get out of bed, but I have 4 kids, so my life propels me forward regardless of how I feel.

Like my mom does not see it but i only see my mom for a hour or 2 a day. Also my friends say out of no where i start tearing and i changed. I used to be a kid who was really jumpy and would crack jokes all the time. But i dont show my feelings really, i hide being hurt and such behind smiles and laughing.
Anyways. Usually i go along with things, like today i was playing basketball with friends and i keep thinking about 2012

Im 20 and I feel very similar. Sometimes ill be going along with my day and then ill think about what if 2012 happens and then I get all these thoughts and I hate it, ruins my day. What does seem to calm me down a bit is im a bit religious and I know God has a plan and despite what our thoughts and actions go through He still wants the best for us. Im not forcing this on you just how I feel. Although I still do get nervous about 2012 and I cant seem to shake the thoughts completely at the moment. Reading this site does help me a bit but i still get get these thoughts every so often. I want to be able to give you a definite answer about 2012 but Im not able to, honestly no one is. Just know this kid enjoy everything you have, try you best to shake these thoughts, and be thankful for all of it. Regardless of what people say about 2012 nonsense just live buddy. The world could end tomorrow or in 1000 years no on knows FOR SURE and that's a fact. Your not alone dude. Hope this helps.

We live in a world where we are so quick to analyse, diagnose, and treat our emotions or symptoms. Thats my take, could you imagine living 200 yrs ago with no tv, video games, computer, or light bulbs. Crazy right, but those days people didn't have the luxury to talk about this stuff like we do. We have doctors for everything nowadays, which is a good thing, but all to often we over analyze our emotions and bundle them up into 2 categories. Stressed, or Depressed. While these are real medical conditions, and I'm in no way diminishing the reality of these diseases. I'm merely trying to point out that every time we go through a phase in life were we are down or up, we shouldn't over analyze. By analyzing it and worrying about it only enhances it and gives it validity. Extreme cases should seek a medical profession, but if your a tennager or young adult, welcome to puberty. Its normal for young people to go through these types of emotions. Totally 100% acceptable.. So don't fear your emotions, embrace them

The reason i became depressed was because apparently my mom did not want to tell me that the medicine i just started taking. ( I made a post on it) has a depression side effect.

Im not taking it anymore because of it. Well at least until December 21st happens

13, i also want to say im sorry about being so immature in the previous days. Its just with this depression and this 2012 thing is really making it hard for such a young person to relax.

Also this medicine has insomnia side effects so i barely get sleep

Dude, you freaking 13. That explains everything. They didn't have pills for me when I was a kid, parents were deadly afraid of giving kids meds. I wander why there are so many addicts in the world… Even kids with ADHD or ADD didn't take pills, parents and teachers had to be parents and teachers. They had to deal with it. Stop with saying your immature, because if you weren't then you wouldn't be 13, now would you. So don't fret. Why are you depressed? Were you always depressed even before all of this nonsense surrounding 2012? Lastly, is your mother a believer in doom and gloom as well?

My doctor prescribed me adderall and one of the side effects is depression. So since i have this side effect (im going to the doctor monday again because i told my mom i felt depressed) im also thinking about 2012 what makes it worse.
My mom is not a believer

Good then you can talk to your mom about this stuff. I know its hard being 13 and all, and talking to your mom is probably the last thing any teen wants to do. I don't know you nor can I advise you on your medical condition, but its a real shame that kids take meds these days. Kids from my generation played out side, and didn't take pills for every emotion we had. Parents understood it was normal for a teen to go through these. Girls have it even worse than you do, and they start earlier. Sports, and girls were what kept most of us out of trouble. I wish you the best, but meds is always the last solution as far as I'm concerned. good luck with your situation, and its great that you are able to see your Dr.) Hopefully, you can be frank with your dr, so he can better evaluate your situation. So often people don't present themselves for who they truly are when they see the dr, and it could cause a missdiagnoses. Good luck Casper.

Well we got adderall because of the fact that i had ADD and i could barely pay attention in school. Like i was failing. So my mom said should we put him on medicine and my doctor said yes.

I understand, and I'm the product of ADD as well, and my friends and Fam have nicknamed me ADD. Its who I am, and there have been many great minds throughout the course of history with this condition. I like to think it gives us increased awareness and an imaginative mind. Embrace it, school is so important, and I don't have to tell you that. ADD doesn't mean your stupid, and kids shouldn't use it as an excuse to not do well in school. You can train your mind to focus, its actually not that difficult. Try playing sports, I played soccer, karate, lifting, and football. It kept me so busy that I didn't have time to be ADD. Thats in part the problem today, kids sit in the house all day playing games and watching TV. Any kid that sits in the house all day and doesn't involve themselves in sports or some form of extracuricular activity is bound to show signs of ADD. Just some food for thought

Well, i bike a lot so im not sure if thats considered a sport.

And yes, i like to add. It makes me creative and no matter what im always happy.

Thats why im going to not take my adderall and go to school and train my self to focus. To show my mom that im not going to take medicine to go to school

Yay for you, Casper! I know a thing or two about beating ADD/ADHD naturally. Diet and exercise are a big part of it. As others have said, training yourself to focus is the other part. If sports are out of the question, choose a craft that will require a lot of focus such as metalworking or carpentry. Don't be fooled into thinking that some crafts are only for womenfolk, either. ;)
