I think I’m going into depression (teen)?
A week ago I had a ski accident involving my head. I had a CAT scan but everything was normal. But I don’t think something is right. I sleep more during the day than I do at night (I fell asleep while working on my favorite subject). I feel like I’m going to throw up all day. I’m now very aware of my body and how I want to change it. I don’t want to workout (and I love doing my pop ups). I barely have enough strength to stand to wash my face after school. I use to be happy, carefree, and ready for anything anyone threw at me. I feel sad and depressed now. It hurts to smile. And I just feel like I need to go back to bed. And it doesn’t help that I have no one to talk to (home schooled, and all of the friends I did have from school were backstabbers).
Could my accident have done this? What’s wrong with me? How do I feel better? (Music didn’t help, and normally music makes me feel loads better.)
I even thought of killing myself yesterday. I cry as I think about it, but I remember I had a knife in my hand to cut a cake when my brother had made a rude comment about me and I thought about just slicing my throat.
I’m scared.

Get off the computer, go straight to your parents and with them call your doctor IMMEDIATELY. Make sure that there is no overlooked physical problems, then talk about the affects of head trauma with your doctor. I will be praying for you, and I can’t stress enough how important it is to talk to someone about the depression. NOW.
there is something called Post-concussion syndrome. It can make you depressed for a while, you need to talk to your doctor and make sure of what is going on.
People who have had concussions may experience physical, mental, or emotional symptoms, which can appear immediately or weeks to months after the initial injury. As time goes on, symptoms become predominantly psychological ones, such as anxiety, rather than the physical symptoms such as headache seen earlier on.
Physical symptoms can include:
headache, the main symptom, frequently persists for up to two weeks, and may last months
dizziness, which occurs in 60% of cases
impaired balance
nausea and/or vomiting
fatigue or sleepiness
inability to sleep
decreased libido
sensitivity to noise or light
ringing in the ears
double or blurred vision
loss of hearing, which occurs in 20% of cases
decreased sense of taste or smell
Emotional symptoms may include:
irritability
anxiety
restlessness
depression
lack of emotion
emotional lability or mood swings
lack of ability to tolerate stress or alcohol
aggression
Cognitive or mental symptoms can include:
amnesia or difficulty remembering things
confusion or impaired cognition
impaired judgment
slowed cognitive processing
difficulty with abstract thinking
problems with attention
decrease in work performance
decrease in social skills
Problems with memory and attention are the longest-lasting cognitive symptoms.
I would talk to your doctor….or maybe a councelor….
something’s wrong, and you’re not going to get better without any help.
