I'm thirteen years old. Lately, I've been going on and off between happiness and...well...I don't wanna say depression, but I feel really down for no reason (If there's no other word for it, then yeah, depression.). I put my age because I want to know if it's just me or something a lot of people go through at my age. Because that's usually what it is, but I just wanna be sure.

Like, I'll be all happy one minute, talking to my friends online or on the phone, playing with my cats or something, but then out of nowhere, I just feel like something's really wrong and I start to feel bad for some reason. And if there is no reason, I make up one. Like "I'm gonna lose all my friends." or "Nobody really likes me.", and it's just out of nowhere.

So is it normal for someone around my age to feel like that or is it just me?

I'm almost 15 and at your age I had the same feeling and I still do. I think it's just horomes changing. I'm not quite sure. But I'm depressed and I have really bad mood swings. sweatdrop
But yeah, lots of people at our age tend to think that because it's just a teenage thing. So, that's what I'm keep being told. ninja

There's a sticky about depression with information in it. If you think it might be depression, you can ask your parents to take you to a counsellor or a therapist of some sort.

It could also be hormones. But you need to do some research (ie - research information about depression) to find out if what you're feeling could be depression or not.
