How do I know if I'm emo or just depressed?

I'm really not sad all of the time, but I am more in tune with my feelings which are sad sometimes. I am not changing my hair to an emo style, but I have started wearing more black, my nails are almost always black, and I wear more black eye make-up. I started getting like that with my ex. He was a little emo (i like emo guys ok) and I started getting darker. Then when we broke up it got worse. At least my sadness did, and all the black. I have an emo friend who I am turning to alot and he has helped me alot even if it is only talking about eachothers problems. I won't commit suicide although sometimes I wish I could just lay there and stop breathing and peacefully die. I am no longer afraid of death, just a little bit scared of the pain before it. I have grown apprecitive of emo music and art. So does this mean I am going emo or depressed. No matter what I don't think I will ever be fully emo, cuz I still know how to have fun sometimes, and I'm not that into the emo style.

omg emo is a stupid fad style that kids are moking that they pretend they are depressed. If you are emo then just stop faking it. If you can't stop then you are depressed.

Talk to someone other than people on the internet.

I HATE EMO!!! Either be goth or just say that you are following a style. Emo is a gay style to choose but you go right ahead abd do it. You are just trying to fit in.

Emo kids need to be shipped off to the war. Then they would have something to be "depressed" about other than their boyfriends breaking up with them!!! God get a f*ing life, emo kids.

sounds like your emo, Dont worry though. Just learn to have more fun and hang out with non-emo friends and dont wear as much black. All emos have their fun too sometimes. Go swimming, play basketball, sports is a very good way. You make a good family with your players. Try listening to other music too, Hip/hop, Country, soft rock, R%26amp;B(theres alot of good R%26amp;B artists today) try listening to alot of different kinds of music. martial arts is even a good way to relieve stress. Growing up was hard for me too. I lived in probably one of the worst places, Dad beat my mom, Moved like 1000 times, Dad died. I too get depressed about my life sometimes but i always keep my head up and never look back, im a hardcore rap fan. Its helped me throughout my life because I understand it.

I'm not sure any one other than a professional should answer your question. It sounds like you should seek some counseling or a doctors input on this.

Emo is just a stereotype. Just do whatever you want and don't make yourself conform to anything. If you like the "emo" style, go for it, but if you like other things too, add them in as well. Nobody says you have to be just one thing. Nobody is like that because everybody is different. I hope that helps a little. Oh, and emo kids can have fun, you said they don't. And, another thing, more serious: if you are very sad you may want to get help.

emo is a genera of music like punk for instance. in the correct time period a punk was some one who was completely emerged in the punk music scene and the life style that went along with it. just because some one wore black skull t shirts and had on converses didnt make them punk. people out side of the punk world might have sterotyped them as being punk but when it came down to it they were not.

so i would not characterize you as emo. i would say that you have a certain style that goes with your personality and the phase that you are going thru in your life right now. however it does not fall under emo, seeing as you are not emerged in the emo music scene.
