Feeling Deeply Depressed

I have been feeling sad more than usual and I’m feeling deeply depressed. I’m sorry it’s long, but I really needed to write this and ask for help. So someone?

I have lost interest in pratically everything, it takes a lot for me to do something, I have no motivation what so ever for anything. I feel worthless and guilty for anything and everything. It’s hard for me to concentrate. I get easily irritated and angry. I have been getting headaches and stomachaches more frequently. I have been drinking alcohol every chance I get. I don’t care about anything. My English grade is at a low F (The percentage is 5.9%) Yeah I know that’s rediculous and terrible. Hanging out with friends is something I don’t really enjoy that much anymore… latley I have noticed everytime we are together we don’t talk much and we use to ALL the time, constantly. I want to enjoy hanging out with them but… I just can’t. I feel hopless and like I’m a complete failure that will never amount to anything. IF I don’t pass all my classes this semester, I will NOT graduate. (I’m a senior) This is obviously very depressing to me and I feel that I can’t do it. I can’t pass all my classes, there is no way… we only have 3 months of school left and I HAVE to get my english grade up or I won’t pass. Which means I won’t gradute.

It’s already 9:40 pm and I have been sitting up in my room doing litterally nothing since about 4:30. All I have done is feel sad, cried a bit, listened to depressing music, stare at my computers screen saver and look out my window when I felt like it. What can I do? I don’t want to mention it to my Mom anymore… she just puts it aside and tries to deny the fact that her kid is depressed. She doesn’t want me to be so she talks to me for a few minutes, gives me a hug and then says, “Well I think your just a little stressed, your not depressed… I don’t think so, you will be okay. Everyone feels sad sometimes.” Well she doesn’t know all of my so called “sympoms” because I haven’t really showed them in front of her and I haven’t told her about the alcohol and some other things. I don’t know what to do.

Answer #1

Listen if you can’t talk to you mom and tell her everything then sit down and write her a long letter. tell her it is very important for her to read it. Tell her everything you feel, everthing. don’t hold things back or she will not know the whole story right. You want her help right? At the end of your letter ask your mom to take you to the doctors. A doctor will be the one to tell her if your depressed or not and you can be givin medication that will make you feel much better. She will listen to the doctor right. Look your young and this will pass. I know it seems endless but it’s not. Teens go through a lot of crap growing up. different thoughts and emotions. all the feeling you explained I too have felt and now im grown with a wonderful husband and two beautiful boys. and I am happy. And you too will be happy just hang in there ok. good luck to you. if you need to talk more let me know. “K”

It is very common to be stressed and depressed at your age. First, see your private medical doctor to make sure it is not a physical thing and ask him/her about anti depressants. Everyone does get depressed sometimes and anti depressants can change your life, believe me.

I use to be a therapist and I know many individuals who have taken anti depressants and it has changed their lives. It may be a chemical imbalance that you have.

In addition, you doctor can recommend a good counselor to aid with your thoughts and feelings.

Pay attention to your behavior. Do not drink or smoke, this can cause or increase depression. Exercise as it is a natural anti depressant. Visualize, or fantasize about things you would like to have or do. Positive things can make you feel good.

Good luck to you. If you would like to visit my website, destressyourself.com, there are free audios about destressing but, I definitely recommend seeing your doctor.

You know, I felt this way when I was living with my parents the difference, I didn’t drink alcohol when I was in High school. Its tough being a teenager I know since I’ve been there done that. What you should do, see if you can get some counseling to help you through this depression, see if you can’t show what’s wrong with your mother maybe she’ll understand better if you show expression of anger, ect. That way, she could also make an appointment for you to see a doctor as well. Listen to some upbeat music, read a book that isn’t depressing, play a game you like, call a friend, something to brighten up your days. Its normal to be feeling depressed but, if you can work through it somehow, then you should be okay. Another thing, you should try to bring up your grade in english so you won’t get held back. Maybe find a tutor to help you if you can’t concentrate. I would like you to graduate. Take care!! and I hope you can seek counseling, or see a doctor so he/she can recomend something.

Answer #5

First of all you need to know that alcohol is a depressant. Drinking doesn’t help at all. In fact it makes it worse. Getting out of the slump unfortunately comes from a very small baby steps that you can do every day. Sorry but their is no quick fix. You also need to know this… and it is a life lesson that no one will teach you for a very long time. Knowing the difference between a thought you trained yourself to believe.. and a feeling. We only have 4 feelings Angry, sad, mad and glad. Worthless, depressed, guilty etc are not feelings… they are thoughts. CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR FEELINGS WILL CHANGE TOO. Medical help has it’s positive points, but this is more effective and reprogramming your negative thoughts to positive or realistic ones is the KEY. Be well and I hope this helps!!!
