Guess i will post here

I have one question.. If i'm not in a depressed feeling.. could the doctor still diagnose it? Since i've deceieded i need help.. I've felt better.. I'm still going to get help.... But this is always a venting thread.. This weekend my parents went out of town.. So that left me and my sister home alone for the weekend.. and $60 for good while there gone.. Which is all great.. had a good weekend for the most part. .friend dropped off some funny movies friday.. me and my friend got stoned on saturday.. and hung out.. and its been a mainly kick back weekend... ACCPET MY SISTER IS FUCKING LAZY!!!.. It pisses me off ( I'm a clean person.. just went through my room for the 2nd time this month ) She will eat.. and just go sit it on the counter( if were lucky ).. Then i have to yell at her to do it.. She will just leave her food and drink wherever she is at.. Its so annoying.. This morning i had to yell at her to get dressed and do her chores.. She is like i will do them when i feel like it.. Im like no.. now.. ( Feeding the animals ) I just get so frustrated with this.. Maybe its cause I'm such a clean person.. I can leave my dishes in my room.. for the night .. Only of i like eat before bed.. thats it.. Can't just leave it laying around... She is just so lazy.. When i have stuff to do around the house.. espeacily when its like feeding the animals!! My room is pretty organized.. but hers.. Its a rats nest.. I hate it... GRRR.. Sorry just had to vent.. it bothers me!

yes it can be diagnosed even if you're not in a depressed mood at the moment

As Amanda says, depression can be diagnosed even when you're not feeling so down at the moment. The therapist will ask you questions about how you feel at different times, and other things about your appetite, sleeping, and so on.About you and your sister - I think it's just different personalities. Some people want everything clean and tidy; for others that's not important. I don't think one is right and the other is wrong - it's just different preferences, different tastes.

Yeah my sister thing.. I mean i dont let it interfear with out relationship.. just it annoys me.. tomorrow I will be talking to one of my parents ( which ever present best opertunity.. hopefully my dad ) .. If its my mom.. I'm going to tell her I'm making an apt. for the doctor ( Regular family physican will work for now right? ) I don't want to bring it up tonight.. they just got home from a 500 mile drive.. lol.. so there both pretty tired...

THIS GETS SO FUCKING ANNOYING... I was screaming at my mom tonight.. I told her i need a dct. apt. She goes what for.. I go deprsesion.. she goes all adolecents go through depression.. I go yeah but not for two fucking years... and it went back and fourth.. I don't know.. I think its dad time.. he should understand more.. She dosn't.. I also told her she isn't educated in the subject.. Kinda pissed her off.. but fuck it.. I also mentioned commiting sucide very easily a few times.. maybe it will sink in.. but first decent chance i get to talk to my dad.. I am.. he should understand..

Also... This is for me.. What do they do at the doctor.. ask question then send me somewhere? or what?

FaBMX, obviously your mother is not at all observant. Perhaps she doesn't want to observe anything. To get people to acknowledge something they don't want to acknowledge, you need to make it easier for them. Don't scream, it gets you nowhere. Ideally, you want them to think it was their idea. Take their thinking by easy stages (over several days, if necessary) from something they agree with to where you want it to go.

For example (highly condensed): "I haven't been a cheerful helper to you, Mom, for the past two years."
"No, you haven't."
"I want to be."
"Yes, you should."
"I try to be cheerful, but there's something like a lead weight that has been on me for the last two years."
"You should pull yourself together."
"I try to, but I can't do it myself."
"What do you expect me to do about it?"
"If you could get me a doctor's appointment, it might help me to be a cheerful helper to you again."

You don't have to follow that script, but the point of persuading people to agree with you is to show them that they want to agree with you, that it will be good for them too.

The doctor may ask you questions about how you feel. Don't just answer how you feel at the moment, but over the last weeks and months. He may ask about eating, and sleeping, and whether you get tired easily, and how school is going. He may refer you to a specialist, which means another appointment. The specialist will ask similar questions, but probably in more detail. You may be prescribed medication; and there will be more appointments set up to see how the medication is working.

I think I might have screwed up... I have been happier last couple of weeks or month or so.. cause i started smoking weed.. but weed made me want to get help.. cause i wanted to enjoy weed without having to do it be happy.. Make any sense? she said something about she will figure out the insurance and get me an apt. ( the insurance is so screwed up right now.. My dad was working at company A.. then he went to B ( union ) .. then he said screw B cause he wasn't working enough and went back to A... ) so see.. everything is screwy.. But I won't let her forget that i need it.. IF i get a good chance to talk to my dad.. I will.. He has noticed i have been happier lately.... Just dosn't know why Hopefully he will go somewhere tonight.. and I will just go with him.. and talk.. I dont want to at the house... unless mom and my sister are gone...

So what's the deal? Told anyone yet?

Seems don't seem to want to work out for me this week.. Dad has been working late all week.. Accept for like monday.. Then last night .. the car accident.. I have to get on my mom again about the el doctoro ( Like my white spanish ) I'm still going to, one way or another, get to a doctor.. if it doesn't work out for spring break.. I'm going to goto the thing on campus.. she should be there.. Spring break will be over monday.. How come these distraction always happen to me? When i went to get my driving permit.... It got delayed due to certain things.. then my fav. shirt was messed up so i couldn't wear it there... These are just a few
