Suggest Remedy For Extreme Depression,self Harm And Weight Gain

Hi, I am a 14 year old girl. Over the past year, I ve been feeling extremely depressed. I use to self harm every single night, I ve tried committing suicide but couldn t go through with it. I use to thoroughly enjoy playing sports, because it was one thing I was good at. However, over the last few weeks I barely have the enegry to turn up to a game. My attendance at school has dropped dramatically, my grades have dropped with them aswell. I am known as an unreliable employee because I rarely turn up to work. I ve just woken up at 2.00pm, I fell asleep at 11pm. I seem to just sleep my days away, my weight as increased dramatically also. I ve been told I abuse the use of alcohol and drugs, but have never seen it until now. I m just looking for a hand, a little bit of advice would be nice. thank you.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. There could be several factors combined. First of all you should visit a physician and get your thyroid checked for T4, T5 and TSH. If you find there is no problem with thyroid, then you must address your tiredness and weakness. Though you are just 14, there could be wasting diseases such as anemia. You also could be disappointed. Work with your physician for correct diagnosis. Don;t diagnose self, please.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
