Is it possible i can become properly depressed?!


Question: Is it possible i can become properly depressed.?
im 17 and really shy and i recently did something which has left me feeling really guilty. I wont go into detail but i may have made it easier for someone to kill herself by suggesting an easy way to do it. I felt really bad not long after and now really guilty. If they go through with it i could go to jail for assisting suicide or something like that. They may have just been looking for attention but i have no way of knowing. I just feel like a really bad person and i am finding it hard to sleep at night.
Even before i did this i felt really depressed. I find it hard to talk to people, even my closest friends, i just feel like such a loser and a waste of space. I have thought about suicide but ive never come close to actually going through with it.

Is it possible if i feel this way for long enough i can actually become depressed and try and kill myself.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It already sounds like you have symptoms of depression, maybe you should talk to a doctor and they will help you decide what to do. It's good if you try and sort out the illness early as it will be much easier to treat.

About the suicide advice, you obviously did whatever you did because you thought you were being helpful and you should not feel bad about the outcome of this. I doubt that you will get into trouble over advising somebody and plus, if she is suicidal, she would kill herself even without your advise.Health Question & Answer

You already do sound depressed, but at the moment you seem to be thinking pretty rationally, considering that you are concerned about your own mental health.

I'd recommend that you go see a therapist or other type of psychologist.Health Question & Answer
