I would like to start by saying that I really wish the people in these forums would pay more attention to posts like yours, instead of all the immature "omg i liek this boy" ones. People need to grow up.
What you described is, indeed, early signs of depression. If you can think of nothing wrong (no family issues, no relationship troubles, etc.), then you need to tell you parents or talk to a school counselor.
I have dealt with depression since I was twelve years old. The symptoms you have described are very similar to mine. I am not a doctor, but having read a lot of medical dictionaries and such your depression sounds like the idiopathic kind (meaning the reason is unknown). It could be a chemical imbalance.
Regardless of what type it is, please speak to a counselor or other reliable adult to try some therapy, and if need be, antidepressants.
If you are still unsure about having someone to talk to, you are more than welcome to PM me. Be safe. heart

im not really sure what to say... im going through the same thing right now. like 3 weeks ago, i had a great weekend, but when i got home, i just started crying, and not cuz i was happy, but cuz i was miserable, and i couldnt figure out y? (im actually still wondering). all i can really say is try to be optimistic and find things in life that make it worth while. also, yes, these r early signs of depression, so if u feel u should talk 2 a therapist, go right ahead, itll probably help.

XBelievingxisxLyingX Thanks again, Nariko... Now to be honest, I'm quite scared that it is..I was afraid it would be and now I'm just scared for my life. I feel like I've been marked for my death already, like my siggy says.. >.< I've been labeled and feel that I can't get out of it...I know I can, but I feel like I can't........Over half my friends hadn't even noticed my expressions today..only 1 of them did..and I told him it was nothing. My mom could see it too, I think. My expressions were quite scared today, or I'm catching the early signs of illness. It could be both, but I'm still scared..... >.< I've been thinking of keeping a "feeling journal" maybe. Maybe help me cope through this and see if I can solve as to why I'm feeling it..Thanks again Nariko.
That's also a very helpful idea, and another thing they tell you to do in therapy. I have kept some kind of journal (poetic or otherwise) for many years, and it came to be a great help when I first started dealing with my own depression. Sometimes personal problems are easier to describe on paper.
Sometimes, therapists may ask to read some of your writing if they think it will help them to know the real you. It might be a good idea to keep two journals - one that you can share with your therapist (or anyone else you want to read it, like a counselor or a close friend) and another for yourself (this one should contain more personal things that you really wouldn't share with anyone else).
However, anything dealing with self-injury or thoughts of suicide should go in the journal you show to your therapist/friend/counselor. Those are the kinds of things that you can't always solve alone, and should never be kept a secret for your own safety.

*I feel a rant coming on... sorry I swear i have a point to this... just skip over the fluff, I actually just had to write a paper on this so I'm bursting at the seams of info*
Its a very strange thing to look at.. you can check the history books, and they all say the same thing... you could really only count on a few things. One of which were plagues... For example the Black Plague (and still no one seems to know what exactly it was... a strange strain of the Bubonic plague? Its highly possible... however that's not the point.)
In today's modern society (America were speaking) Everything has become Industrialized, we work to gain as much as possible, we become educated to try and survive in the highly complex world that we have created for ourselves. Its a dog eats dog world... and its highly stressing! In today's world there is a higher percentage of many things: depression, chemical imbalances that seem to only be cured by becoming highly medicated 24/7, divorce rates have soared, and Autism rates have exploded... you can catch my drift...
Perhaps its an environmental factor? Maybe all those pollutants that we are exposed to daily have finally afixeated the human race... What ever the reasoning is; it would seem that we are in a social decline.
From my experience it seems to me that most doctors just slap you with a label of "depression" and hand you a bottle of happy pills... Normally they are only fixing the problem for a short time, or they got it wrong and aren't doing anything. I urge you to talk to a consoler, a friend, or adult that you trust and feel comfortable (there is nothing more awkward then venting to a person who you don't feel at ease around...).
If you want to chat, I'm here and a very good listener.
Good luck!

that makes sense as well, Toxisity. 3nodding >_< so much stuff...I understand all of it, but I'm still not able to figure it out. One of my RL friends that I told my situation to..he figures that it's because I don't fit in with my own group. They're all quite loud people..not afraid to do stupid things, or say stupid things around a group of people. But me on the other hand, I'm naturally quiet and I hang around with them quite a lot. He explained that I might be going through this because I'm afraid to let loose around crowds of people because I don't want to look dumb. sweatdrop He made sense to me at that time, but then I asked how come I'm at the library, which has a few people in it usually, and I'm the loudest one in there.? He thought for a minute and came up with the fact that I'm more comfortable with a small group of people rather than a large one.. I thought about that for a few days and came up with another fact. I'm in a small group(for a school program), and I'm still the quietest one in there. I figured, without asking him about it, that since I'm the only girl in that group that's why I'm quiet. I have no other person to open up to, except for one guy in there that I trust very much. sweatdrop crazy assumptions, but they made sense to me.
