First off, I would like to say i’m 14 and entering freshman year of high school in the Fall. I have a lot of emotional problems present (already encountered depression before, and this is not it) in my mind because of the drastic changes that have happened in my life from the end of 7th grade to the present.
First, my girlfriend that is my first true love and i believe is amazing, special in her own way, and very beautiful…. is moving away and doesn’t want a long distance relationship. I believe she is the only girl in the world that can accept me for who I am and I already know myself but the thought of her makes me wanna put on an angry smile. Second, I feel as if something is wrong in my life, although I do not know what it is. I guess I am sort of lonely and worried because of the totally new atmosphere I will encounter in just about a month and the girlfriend thing but life doesn’t seem to feel exactly fulfilling at the moment.
I know for a fact it couldn’t be major depression because I have little thoughts of myself being inadequate compared to others and like I said, I’ve already experienced it. The only way I got out of depression was because of my current girlfriend and the joy she brang me when she accepted me and said yes.

it seems that maybe your depression never went away, but your girlfriend distracted you. i know you say you are not depressed now and this may be true, but something is going on. your depression may have morphed into something else. but, whatever we label what is going, it is not okay. i highly recommend going to talk to someone. a therapist, a close friend, a mentor, a teacher and get some guidance. it is amazing that at such a young age you are able to reach out for help.
for someone to talk to anytime, National Mental Health Association Hotline 800-273-TALK (8255)

Confusion and despair, those are my bets. I’ve been in the hazy situation, though I didn’t have an accurate event to rely the depressive feeling I was/am getting. Unlike you, since your girlfriend situation establishes part of the feeling you’ve been raising since you first felt inadequate or like an outcast. In a more lucid point, I would describe the uncomfortableness you’ve stated as like you somehow feel naturally different to the others, which translated in practice, leads to solitude, wanting to be alone but explicitly neglecting the fact that you feel and are lonely.
Plenty of fish in the sea. Enjoy the single life while you can because the next girl is always right around the corner. And as for the depression, its all a state of mind. Learn to love yourself first, you don’t need someone to make you happy because when they leave they will do nothing but take your happiness with them. keep ya head up, you got a lot of life ahead of ya homie

Part of what is wrong is your spiritual choices. If you choose to identify with the forces of darkness they are not going to make you happy. Have you read The Screwtape Letters? It’s the best book on demonology I know.
The other thing is – you will miss your girl. But you will find someone else- sooner or later.
