Look I don’t use reddit very often so I don’t know if this is the place or not I’m also not self diagnosing just wondering. I am a normal 16 year old guy, I play sports, have friends ect. The last probably four months I have been felling incredibly down like not wanting to do anything and putting on a smile and laugh. I don’t really enjoy anything I used to anymore, in fact I hate doing everything and I don’t know why. I dread waking up in the morning and have to do anything. Obviously I haven’t told any of this to any of my family even though I think it’s pretty obvious that I’m different. I don’t feel suicidal but sometimes it seems like a good thought but I would never do it cuz of family and friends. My parents are very good and nice people and I’m sure if I opened up they would be fine, my dad actually had depression a long time ago. I just wouldn’t want them to think that they had anything to do with this. The only thing that sometimes can help is when I pucnh my punching bag for a long time and I end up hurting my hand all the time. Thanks to anyone who ready this and anyone that responds.
