Will therapy help? this long-term depression?

Hey squirt…I feel the same way, almost every hour of the day I think of the same thing… Well if you drove your friends away cause your depressed there not your friends to take off on you anyway.
My uncle did that also, he killed himself…don’t do that…I think to myself, This life on earth for me…is hell but if I kill myself, I am just ending this HELL going into another Hell which is a million times worse and its eternal…how would you like that??? NO THANKS…so we just have to suffer it out…I wish I could talk to you more, I have lots to talk to you about cause I understand what you feel like…Hmmm I don’t know if your mom or sister would be a good choice, try…a counscellor, if you don’t go to church to and get the priest or minister and talk to them about it…if they are any kind of church person they will give you the time of day…

Dear ashley868, Please seek out a counsellor ASAP. You asked what good it will do; when someone suffers from depression they suffer from faulty thinking as well. That is a term used for people who see things not really as they are. You see things in a negative light and believe this to be true. But your thinking is faulty and what you see is distorted. So with counselling they can show you how to change that thinking around so that you actually do see things in a positive light. When people are depressed they don’t think anything can help them…because their depressed they see things this way. When there is no depression we see things as possible and we have hope. So how do we get depressed people to believe this when they are depressed and see everything negative…this is the question of our life time…the only answer is you have to trust someone, you have to take the chance. What do you have to loose by trying a counsellor. They won’t make things worse. Sue…good luck

Hey Ashley.

I know it’s hard to get by when it appears as if the entire world has turned it’s back on you. But let me tell you something. There are so many great people in this world who would do anything to help you get back on your feet, because chances are you’re not ugly at all. When you have low confidence and self-esteem in yourself, that arises possibilities for cruel people (who also have low confidence in themselves) to hurt you and walk all over you. Doing that makes them feel better about themselves for some ridiculous reason. So what you need to do, is raise your chin, and be strong for your own sake. If anyone opens their mouth, you tell them to shut it. Understand? Believe me, I’ve felt this way before and I know everyone else in this world has, as well. Start thinking positively. I know it sounds pathetic and useless, but in reality…it’s the secret to life! Tell yourself that things are getting better already, that people will learn to respect you once they see that beautiful smile you have. Make your mind believe that anything is possible. That boyfriend you want…, tell yourself that you’re going to find him. (But this will only happen if you remain strong, and continue to think positively!) Try it out. What do you have to lose?

As for your friends, talk to them about how you were feeling. Apologize and let them know that you’ve suddenly grown from this, and you’re now stronger than ever. If they’re really your friends, they’ll understand.

And of course that job will change everything! It’s a job, and jobs are always a step closer to success! Never forget that.

So get rid of that “i don’t, can’t, i’m not, etc” They’re immediately erased from your vocabulary! Start showing that wonderful smile, and never give up.

I want you to think positively about everything for a month straight. It’s hard work, but I promise you’ll have everything you could ever imagine, and more.

If you need anything else, feel free to ask me whenever you’d like. : ]

Want to try something DIFFERENT ??? just do the following RIGHT NOW ;

1–chant ‘hari om’(hari as in HURRY & om as in HOME without the ‘H’) do this repetedly & a point will come where you will feel like you just want to close your eyes ( in that case case do it).At this point increase the number of O in om like HARI OOOM & then —HARI OOOM— & so on.when you chant this VEDIC MANTRA then remain silent (no thinking!,fidgeting,moving,etc) for an amount of time taken to chant this one mantra.this looks very very simple but its effects are very very very large (even ALBERT EINSTEIN would not had imagine it !!!). this is called ‘CHUP SADHANA’ & I learned it from ‘param pujya ASARAMJI bapu’.—>”www.asharam.org “ also read JEEVAN RASAYAN a book from —“http://hariombooks.goog… “ tihs will help remove all weakness from you,believe me millions have obtained benefits from it ,literally.

note: women durimg their periods are not to chant OM but they can chant HARI

this I say to you on basis of teachings of ‘param pujya ASARAMJI bapu’

First, you need to talk to somebody. I know it might be hard to talk to your mom and sis, but haveing been through it once they sould be eager to help someone they love overcome these feelings. I lost my best friend to suicide and, trust me, I take the issue very seriosly.

I’ve also been down that road myself. I got very depressed when I was 14 or 15, and there was a time in high school when I would stare at a bottle and think about never waking up again.

But, I made a decision not to. They say that suicide is the most selfish thing anyone can do. But I would say that my decision to live was just as selfish. I didn’t throw that bottle away for my parents, my family, my friends, I did it for myself. Instead of being mad at myself all the time for the mistakes I made I got mad at this deseise that was robbing me of my happiness, and I made the desision to beat it–for myself.

First, find some help. If your family won’t help, find a doctor, if you can’t do that, call 800 394 HOPE. It’s a free help line specializing in young adults 25 and under. They helped me a lot, I didn’t feel like my parents would understand so that’s where I found help.

Second, give yourself permission to be selfish. Do what makes YOU happy. Faverate book? Read it. Favorite song? Favorite movie? play it. Over and over again. Do what it takes to get your troubles to take a back seat so you can enjoy youself.

Third, try (this is tough, but I did it) to take on an optimistic veiw on life. If you really try to look for the silver lining on things, I mean really put effert into it, you will find it. You said you lost your job. You will find a new one, and you can look at it as an opportunity to meet some new friends at your new job.

Anyways, just please talk to someone. Like I said I lost a friend to suicide. She left subtle hints and haveing been there i picked up on them, but she would never open up, she kept it all inside, I whould try to talk to her about it but she would just change the subject. It is so important that you reach out to someone.
