It might be your diet you can research it

what

Like what you eat can give you random depression

maybe

I relate to the first part but with the internet thing, I just wish people talked to me more or at all

short periods: mood swings
days: having shitty days
weeks or months: depression
months or years: depression
months or years with manic episodes: bipolar

Hey! Future psychologist here! Just wanted to let you know a couple things, friend! Medically, you may have dysthymia like everyone else in this generation. You might also have depression, or you might be convincing yourself you’re depressed so you can label yourself as someone with depression. Or you have a severe case of Internet dependence, an actual illness identified as IAD!

My tips for you are to first, identify what you’re specifically struggling with. You say you’re unhappy, but how much effort are you putting into being happy? There’s clearly an issue here, find the roots of it. If you know it’s because of your chronic addiction to the internet,, that’s a start. Going outside, forcing yourself in social environments, engaging with your family at dinner . try new things . No one is perfect, and everyone will have to overcome a different set of struggles throughout their life . So my advice is don’t dig a deeper hole for yourself and if you know you want to get better, try to act on it ! You got this!

blergh
its possibly IAD
but
i dont always do this
its sometimes caused by not being able to get here
but other times its just randomly dead
even when I'm on here

Hmm. Do you see any repetitive pattern ?

yes absolutely this happens like every 3 or 4 days

Do you have as frequent ups as you do downs? Or are all the “bursts” you described negative .

ups
well
id say average
usually i laugh and I'm usually quite energetic
but usually
id say I only experience down

ouuuuu I see. so your regular personality is happy and shit you just have intense waves of sadness sometimes I get that

What’s your real life like ? Friends ??? Do you have a support system?

friends: 1 in real life
support system: weak

aw bro I get it see there’s a very obvious cycle you need to start recognizing ok.

So .
Sad teen has trouble forming connections -> goes to internet to find comfort -> becomes overly obsessed with this new found sense of community -> begins to cling onto it -> detrimental effect on victims mental health intensifies

What I’m saying is you’re focused on the wrong things. It doesn’t matter if you FEEL like you’re not addicted, and that you’re happy SOMETIMES, the issue we’re trying to tackle is that you ARE addicted and that you’re unhappy a LOT of the time. The only one who can fix it is you . So you literally just need to break free babes there’s no other option . You can identify yourself with as many disorders you’d like but a label isn’t going to change the situation, only explain it.

I promise you I’ve been there okay and I left for a while and it really, really helped. This doesn’t mean you have to dramatically leave like most do or anything but … simply said, start putting yourself first. And it’s the small things. Make sure your phone isn’t the first thing you reach for when you wake up . Make sure you don’t sleep late talking to people you don’t know . Make sure you eat properly and don’t avoid eye contact and look down when you’re walking in the halls . You got this I promise

damn
alrighty
tahnk you

I kinda get that too. I wonder if you just simply do have clinical depression that hits hard at random. For me it's natural chemical imbalances and yuh Internet isn't the reason for that

i possibly have depression
being stuck inside for 4 years kinda sucks heh
but hey
I survived
any normal guy probably would have went insane by now heh

heh
heh heh

INSANITY

true.,,,
