Answer #1

My half brother just got out of a mental hosptial 3 days ago. He said he went due to years of built-up anger which resulted in depression. He said the best way to finally free yourself is to try to eat right, exercise a lot, and be optimistic. Physical health affects mental health a lot. Having a positive view on things also helps out.

Tell me if you ever feel better :)

Answer #2

I have the same exact problem. I’m 15, and I was diagnosed with depression when I was very young. talking to someone definately helps. and I take a medication called prozac, and it’s really been helping me for years. do you think part of it could be, that you care too much what people think about you? that’s my problem, but that comes from my anxiety. but you should really talk to a doc about starting medication. when you find the right one, it really does help.
