Re: Teen having mid-life crisis.
You may be clinically depressed and need help, but I'm not qualified to give you advice on that.
My advice...ENJOY LIFE! You're at the age where you're supposed to be care free and enjoy everything. Go to college, even if you think it's a waste of time. Get drunk, meet girls, skip a few classes. You're way too young to be worried about making money. Trust me, it ain't that big of a deal. No doctor, no poker game, no anything can substitute a quick stop to smell the proverbial roses. If you mope through this period of your life, you will always regret it. Have fun.

Re: Teen having mid-life crisis.
I would goto college man. Get a real degree in computer science of information technology. You can play poker while you are in college taking classes. Then when you get a job you can make 60G from your computer job and play poker on the side for 100 bux a day. Thatll be some nice money

Re: Teen having mid-life crisis.
Do like your parents suggest and get professional help.
Get involved with something involving people that seems meaningful to you. Learn about things other than the technical. Talk to your English teacher about some good literature to read. Drop in on a nearby college campus and meet with some faculty members during their office hours. I'm talking about faculty in the Liberal Arts. Broaden your intellectual horizens. Hang in there. Losing part of your leg must be a huge trauma. You are grieving that loss and it will take time to heal in that process. You will find the meaning you seek when you discover your mission in life. That mission may have nothing to do with computers, poker, or money. Read everything you can get your hands on to help you find out what it is. PairTheBoard

Re: Teen having mid-life crisis.
Obviously there is a lot going on here, but there is one thing you can do right here right now to help yourself. When you wake up this afternoon, set your alarm clock for 9am and force yourself out of bed by 9:30 at the latest. It will be hard for the first couple of days but your body will soon get used to it.
You see lots of good things come from getting up early. First of all, darkness can cause depression, while light can help cure it. It sounds like complete [censored], but actually it has been found that exposing people with depression to light boxes helps them feel better, and dperession rates are much higher in the winter when it is darker. By getting up earlier, you will allow yourself to spend more time in the light and less in the dark. Secondly it will help regulate your day a little. You can be awake at normal times, do normal things, meet normal people and hopefully have normal mealtimes. What is probably contributing to your depression is that right now you are out of sync with the entire world.

Re: Teen having mid-life crisis.
it's called depression my man...
if you do not want to see a therapist or psychologist, i suggest finding a venting hobby. Writing for example. But shrinks really do help. Think of it as just a person to talk to. goodluck

Re: Teen having mid-life crisis.
Amanda gives absolutely fantastic advice here. See a doctor.
You also sound as though you might be contemplating suicide. Even if it has ever crossed your mind, I urge you to give Samariteens a call (800-252-TEEN). There, you can talk with other teenagers about everything that you are going through. They can even recommend options aside from a doctor, if you are interested. Good luck, Marlow
