First off, I'm a teen and have a good idea that I'm depressed. I've been through more than a regular teenager would go through in the past year. At the moment, I'm heart broken. It's not one of those things you get over in a couple days, it feels permanent. I've been heart broken for over 6 months now. I used to be an extremely happy person when I was dating my ex-boyfriend. Ever since we broke up, my habits have changed. I don't tend to sleep as much, nor eat. If I'm not around someone, I get this feeling of loneliness and it won't leave me. Also, I used to wake up and the first thing I would do is take a shower every morning. Lately, I've got to urge myself to build up the energy to do something as simple as taking a shower. I know I need to go see a therapist and get diagnosed but I just need some word of advice. I miss my ex very much. He keeps asking me to take him back, but he cheated on me, and I've got to say no - which hurts. Happy New Year to everyone.
