Can you help me see the light, I am depressed?

This sounds a bit like my life. I know how you feel, trust me. And the only thing that has made me feel even just a bit better is knowing that I have my family and fortunately the economy can’t take that away from me. Plus my boyfriend, he’s been there for me and made me feel even better. Look to your friends and family for cheering up. The rest of your life is not doomed. You have to think more positively and I know that’s hard at times but you’ve got to look beyond all of the bad. If your depression worsens then you may need to see a doctor to get help before it’s uncontrolable. You don’t want this weighing down your entire life. Hope this helps.

Stop, Sit, and just watch life all around you and how amazing it all is. Thats what I do when I’m feeling down. No matter what, life will go on, life finds a way. Times are hard, and I’m sorry your parents let you hear what is going on about their struggles. That is something I resent about my parents is that they always included their children in their financial struggles, not realizing that it is more stressful to the child than it is to the parent about adult issues and responsibilites. I have a 2 year old now and everytime im upset she seems to get upset too. Children sympathize a lot harder for their parents and worry about everything being ok. I know you are a senior in highschool but trust me when you get in your early 20s you will look back and realize how young you actually were at 18. Dont worry about things you cant control like the economy. Like I said before just stop and sit and watch how beautiful life really is as you see the neighbor walking the dog, or a car full of old people drive by to the early bird special
