Im depressed

I know how you feel I have a mental illnes called depression and I have to go to counsling for it. counling helps when you feel you cant talk to your friends or family for it go to counsling and the doctors have this pill its supposed to help you feel happy not sad I take it it does kinda help. the reason why im depressed is becaus im usauly woried avout my boyfriend cause hes in a gang and it every year somone I know dies since I was in 4th grade now my uncle just died and now im pregnant but it wouldt hurt for you to ask for help my friend killed herself and it hurts a lot of people and you should get help befor you hurt yourself

Sometimes I FEEL THE SAME WAY AS YOU. I feel thet I cant take it no more. I dont know.I got 2 buttifull kids and a good man by my side and I stiil feel something is missing in my life. I ask my self wy! I had a ruff life before. I was with the fother of my kids fore 12 years. and it was hell.I sufferd lots of abuse in the past with him. he haves a drinking prblom and he still do. I got away and started a knew life with someone els.but I treet him bad I think im treeting him the sameway the father of my kids did to me. I get gelous alote and fight with him four no reason.I NEED HEILP beafore I loose him. He is agood man to me and I keep pushing him away. im afreyd to loose him I love him so much. He tels me I need someone to talk to but I havint got help yet.Ineed to talk to someone before I loose it all.

I knwo that feeling. I don’t want to tell anybody though… Because I don’t want to be diagnosed as some physco freak show who has to take drugs everyday to keep herself sane.

But.. I have friends and family and people who love me… But none-the-less I can’t help but feel like… everybody hates me. And when I hear people giggling… I can’t help but think it’s about me… And when people glance … I always feel they’re looking at me… At my uglyness. I can’t help but feel… lonely.

Try Wellbutrin. Worked for me! Like night and day!

Hey i am now 15. i have been going through depression for about 7 years. Just get help before you get as bad as me.. i dont want anyone to have to go through what i have .

you are worth more than that

uuuh go to a doctor?? no 1 else thinks that this is important?

I know how you feel. I was in the same situation, but my son is trying to get me to open up to him. He said that “I was not along” I have him and his brother. My daughter is also giving me support now. It helps. Don’t hide, talk to someone in your family or a good friend. Good luck to you, I know what you are going through. Hang in there you are not alone.

Dude eskimo guy is right. Whats so wrong with seeing a doctor? Athough one might not like to feel probed and looked into it is their job as Psyciatrists and Psycologists and Psycoanalyists to been knowledgable about emotions and the workings of the brain, and they too have to go to years of their own psychoanalysis.

Who cares if you’re chubby, maybe thats because you are, but you can do something about it. Go to the gym get outside, dont spend all your time moping around.

Expecially when you are growing up and around 14-18 you wonder what is beautiful and what others find attractive, I will say right now that there are so many people out there who look for inner beauty that is reflected in your outer appearance and that you have too look for what you find beautiful in a woman (or guy) and look for people. When you are depresed you feel like no one will find you beautiful but go out there and try and prove it then, the worst case senario you trvaeled around meeting people your whole life, an adventure, best case senario you meet people and have love ;)

and if you do all these things and life still sucks, try some medication. Antidepresants arent f**king meth, they are to anti-depress people. Some people who are depressed have unbalanced chemical exchanges in their brain, and antidepresants like SSRI’s (selective seritonin reuptake inhibitors) take the molecule of seritonin that creates joy, and makes it register normally, if it has fallen below the normal amount.

Mabey a young woman is gaining weight, that is totally fine you are changing and at 16 are not going to be the same weight as when you are 21. I personally prefer a real woman not a twig, yo.

And shut the fck up nicksy from Malta, plenty of depressed people know they are, so just shut the fck up. your mind is like a computer, if you dont want to feel like this then you wont, thats a sign that your just doing this for attention. but your doing this unintentionally, meaning your doing it without even knowing you are. That doesn’t even make sence, are you a doctor? Some times people cannot controll the way they feel, humans are not like computer computers do not have emotions to deal with. And we know what unintentionally means, we speak english, unlyke u!!1! If someone thinks they their next door neighbor is hot, they he is to them. You cant tell people how they feel, ergo depressed people can say they feel depressed.

If You dont like your life, try to change it you always can, get new friends, the old ones arent always the best, mabey they were depressing you. And I would not turn to religion for clinic depression because that is a philosophy not a medicine. The ‘Jesus Juice’ only works for the normal teenage “depression” (discovering of self and the interactions with the world and their universe/reality).

Do these posts on “funadvice.com” even get read? Oh well, the best of luck.

You may want to try and check out this page: http://www.tranquilities.com/classes/magnetraction.htm It can help you a lot if you apply it to your life. The law of attraction is very powerful and it does help for me anyway to have God in my life. I used to also suffer depression and was in the hospital twice. You hang in there and take a look at the site. Try to focus on other things besides depression. :)

funmail me if you need a peptalk,advice,or someone to listen to

trust me I’ve been there too

I wish you the best :)

responding to eskimo’s comment there, when you said you tried not to think bout it by watching tv, all I get when watching tv is even more depression! because I see pretty people in tv. their perfect in every way.

Same my lovee

Peace..xX

not all antidepressiants make you sucidial the one im taking is really helping I was severly depressed too. the medicin im taking is called paroxetine and it is really helping and I felt the same you do its not that hard to tell someone trust me it really helps im more outgoing , crazy and confident. just trust me hope this helps somehow. :)

well, do you at least have something you like in life? you should figure out what makes you happy and stick to it. you should also spend time with your friends. if you don’t have any friends you could always make some.

Babe, I have the same problem. I know how ya feel. I have battled it since I was about 6 from abuse and sexual harrassment. You have to find it in yourself to trust someone. Whether its an anyomous person on the phone on a hotline or your best friend. Just call or meet a friend and cry and just let it out. I promise you hope will come soon enough. And even though you feel terrible, you ARE loved. Tell youself that everyday out loud. Hope you get through your depression hun. -Caroline

If you are depressed please get help, I suffered from depression when I was 18, took an overdose and nearly died, dont get to that stage!

I know how you feel. thats exactly how I feel. im scared to let my friends know tho.

I know how you feel but by the way by telling us you did tell some 1

Nicksy’s an ignorant b*tch

I am 21 years old- to answer that question first. I am a junior in college and the depression im feeling is not the kind that makes me want to die but I am just really unhappy all of the time.

I don’t even really know how to explain it. I’ve been trying to figure it out for some time now. I’ve been working hard to perform well so that I can attend grad school. But no matter what I do I can’t help but know that it is all pointless. The things that bring joy to the people around me seem meaningless and they don’t make me happy. Im not a teenager who is self-concious or who gets made fun of. I’m just not happy and as I get older, internal and external factors change this gets worse and worse. I hate everything. I hate the way people are. All I ever feel now is frustration with myself and everyone and everything around me.

I don’t want this with me anymore.

haha believe me I went thru the same thing but you got to except your self the eway you r stop putting your self down you only live once an you only live young once stop worring about every simple thing thats not perfect an start worring about things that matter hun its life what do you expect no one ever said it would be easy an know one is perfect sweetie take life as it comes an just enjoy what you got=]

I love you! hug I go through bouts of depression every once in awhile. but just see a doctor, unless your a teenager, if your are, then see a therapist.

see, doctors just prescribe drugs for everything, so some depression drugs will make you suicidal, now we DO NOT want that! >.< by seeing a therapist, you can work out problems by talking and crying and healing.

I wish you luck, my friend.

I think you need to talk to a professional. My email is airforceman101@yahoo.com if you need someone to talk to that will listen feel free to email me. Also I dont know if you are religious or not but I will pray for you because GOD can do a lot.

ok first of all how old are you?? second of all, do you have many friends? trust me you arent depressed. tests like that are jack shit! those tests only come negative so that u’d go to a psychologist… all for money! I asked if you have friends because friends give you attention. calling urself ugly and hating urself is just being selfish, its a way of getting attention from every1. thirdly you should open up and say wats going on in your life. if your 1 of those people that is asked for advice, your probably taking your friends problems and making them your own. well you shouldnt! you shouldnt carry them on your back, you should put them under your arms so when your tired you can put them down for a minute and then pick them up again. if your a woman, it could just be your hormones or period. what you call a “depression” could just be stress and tension. people who are depressed dont know that they are depressed. sounds stupid but true. the worst you can do is keep on saying to urself “im depressed, im depressed” otherwise you will end up depressed! your mind is like a computer, if you dont want to feel like this then you wont, thats a sign that your just doing this for attention. but your doing this unintentionally, meaning your doing it without even knowing you r. hope this helped and hope your not just being selfish and pittying urself.

Everybody feels depressed every once in a while.If your in your teenage years, it can be especialy hard to feel beautiful and feel like you fit in, not to mention get along with your family. Depression tests on the internet can be dangerous because most of the times they are put there by pharmaceutical compagnies trying to get you hooked on their drugs. Though you might be depressed, it doesn’t mean you can’t overcome your depression by taking steps. It really helps to open up to your closest friends or family members because they care for you and mostly want to help you feel better. It’s also normal to be scared because sometimes we feel that we can’t control our emotions. It’s also scary to think that we might open up to someone and not be understood. The truth is, we have to learn to know ourselves and learn to trust poeple who have prooved that they care for us. There’s different ways to deal with depression. Sometimes we need to give ourselves the right to be a bit sad and cry especialy if something difficult has happened like loosing someone we love or moving to a new city. Facing sadness can help us release emotions that are caught up inside us and makes us feel better afterwards. Other times, we can be depressed because we feel lonely, the best remedy to this is forcing yourself to get out of your house and see poeple, go visit them even if you don’t feel like it because it helps to be with poeple even if we don’t talk about our problems. Maybe they’ll make you laugh or help you forget your problems for a while. Another good way to feel better is by doing excercise because this can bring our stress levels down and help us feel fit. Try to understand the root of some of your problems (i.e.:like not get along with family) and try to take positive actions to solve them (i.e.:sit down and talk to them). Do things that make you feel good like excercise, watch your favorite movie, listen to your favorite songs, etc. Reach out to those that care like friends and family. Obviously, you need to learn to love yourself and be kind to yourself. Instead of telling yourself negative things, be your own best friend and every time you have a negative thought, imagine it positive and encouraging. It’s easy to get caught up in our own heads, telling ourselves things that only bring us down. Get out of bed and do stuff, don’t sit around feeling sorry for yourself. If all these things don’t help there is always the possibility of talking to someone exterior that can give us tricks and helps us understand like social workers, psychologists or special hotlines. They are there to listen and help us. Sometimes opening up to a stranger can be easier. Know that there are many things that you can do to get over depression and that it is normal to feel it every once in a while. We aren’t robots without feelings. It is in the worst moments that we learn the most about ourselves which helps us to be happier and healthier beings.

I suffer from bipolar disorder,I am a recovering addict(crack) was my drug of choice along with alcohol.I am also a victim of emotional,physical and sexual childhood abuse.I had a lot to be depressed about the first thing I had to do is find someone to trust.I grew up not being able to trust anyone.I had very low self esteem and very ashamed of myself and my life.Do you read??? This helps a great deal!!! there are self esteem books out there to fit everyones needs.also daily devotional books are great,there are many for all specific problems and even to feel better about yourself!!! Also I dont know if you have a higher power you believe in ???Mine is GOD!!!I Prayer and my books have saved my life!!! you are a beautiful person in GOD’S eyes and I am sure in others as well,Those who dont think so are not an important part of your life and have insecurities of their own and use you to cover up their own anger and denial of their own problems.You are a special person and unique in your own special way and most of all you are not fake and you dont have to glamorous to be beautiful!!! Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.I was never happy with my looks crooked teeth,puffy eyes and a funny walk,but there are a lot of people out there that see me as beautiful,and those are the only people I need in my life,positive people.The negative ones you dont need in your life ,those are the ones you cant trust.I also went to a mental health center to get some help and get anger,depression issues and my past out in the open and learn how to deal with it and improve my self esteem and it helped.You can find a mental health center that has a sliding fee,my visits were free!!!There is always one in your area, Those people will not run around and talk about you or not put you down they are there to help you in a positive way.Getting this stuff out really helps.You are not alone most all persons in this world are depressed about something and not happy with themselves for one reason or another.If you learn to love yourself you will take care of yourself better and you can work with whatever you are not happy with yourself about .When you are happy and full of love on the inside, your beauty will glow on the outside!!! first of all the only persons you need to impress is THE HIGHER POWER YOU BELIEVE IN AND YOURSELF FIRST.When your impressed with yourself others will be too.(The ones that matter)Live life one day at a time and dont worry bout the past it is gone and today,just today matters right now take on only what you can each day and work with it in a positive way have HOPE,COURAGE AND STRENGTH, You are worth it and you can do anything you put your heart into.The future is always yet to come,dont worry you will be ok if you really want to be!!! I will pray for you and good things to come. GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Learn to appreciate the great outdoors. Contemplating the intricacy and beauty of nature can not only move your mind from negative to positive but help you keep things in perspective. Step2>>>Watch the international news to help bring your anxieties and problems into focus. Your life may be temporarily disappointing but others have it much, much worse. Sometimes being sad or dissapointed about something can make us feel hopeless and depressed, until we watch the nightly news. Step3>>>Attack the causes of your depression head-on. Give yourself the time to process how you got to this state of mind and why you are still there and possible ways of changing your mood. Although depression cannot be fixed just by thinking it, it does help you find reason when sometimes there is only sadness. Step4>>Help someone else as a way to refresh your memory on how to feel good. Charity or volunteer work, or even just listening to a friend in crisis can remind you of your ability to empathize with others. Knowing this can help you give yourself some good advice. Step5>>>Read some of the great philosophical works to remind you of the bigger picture. Depression can make the world seem very small and isolating, restricting abstract thought. A quick perusal of Kahlil Gibran’s “The Prophet” or Rousseau’s “The Confessions” to place your current sorrow in the context of humanity’s collected experience. Step6>>>Paint, write and draw away negative emotions. Physical activity which forces you to both focus and think can be very therapeutic and allows you to visualize your pain and perhaps lessen it slightly. Step7>>>Listen to music that stirs your soul. No matter if its heavy metal or the lightest classical song, find the those lyrics and that beat that moves you

I am depressed and I understand how you feel but because I have been through this before but sadly fell into the trap again I know how to deal with it just a little bit better life has its negatives and its positives, try to focus on the positives, or if you fail to do so, work on making your negatives into poisitives one by one this may sound strange from a 16 year old but I know what I am talking about. By taking my advise your life will bit by bit become more positive and hopefully I’ve heled you on the road to stability like I am trying to do so myself at the moment another thing that also helps is focusing and helpig other people with there problems by helping them, unknowingly you are helping yourself xxxhope I hve helpedxxx

I would not trust those online “depression tests.” I have taken them and it too said I was severely depressed–PLS! I am far from it. However, if you do not feel yourself and are having many negative thoughts and opinions about yourself I would def talk to a counselor at school. They will open up communication with your parents and prob eventually a doctor you can talk to. You have to think about yourself in this situation. No matter if your family is fighting or they are going through financial trouble, whatever the case may be, you need to think about taking care of yourself! Your healthy and longievity is very important. Sometimes we get caught up in your own probs to see how we affect those around us, and your friends and family may be in that moment right now. BUT you need to think about yourself right now, get some help, no matter what the cost.

dont believe what they say its right to be yourself find ways to relax the important thing is to be yourself and find ways to realy find out who you are express yourself make your own quiz than take it see if you are who you think you are thats the most important thing you should worry about ask people you realy trust i bet you have people you trust on this website or talk to your best friend im sure they can keep a secret just be yourself.

Like the person before me asked..How old are you?? Once again same question..Do you have many friends..Not tko say you don’t have any. But like, thoes tests are bullshit, they don’t mean anything. Love is drifting away.? Never. Love is all around, you just have to want it,Don’t give up in other words. Don’t hate yourself..that always leads to something bad..if you im me at BlueEyedBabie403 I could tell you things from my past experinces.But your beautiful the way you are..Even if people say something different. FUCK THEM aaha. Now..hating your family is a little much, it would depend why you hate them..if they’re abusive then I could see that, but other things I’d have to check into..so i could help you with that. && the trusting get a closest friend to help you out, but one that you know won’t tell a singal soul. I’ve helped afew people out on here already && I haven’t told anyone about peoples problems on here. If they want to know what people talk about on here. I tell them to get an account. But if you don’t have anyone to tell at all you can tell me I sware I wouldn’t tell a soul. So if you need anyone. I’m here for you. I know that I don’t know you, but I know I was put on earth to help people, its what I’m best at. So just remeber im here! :) Much love <3 xoMaryxo

i know how you feel there is alot to be depressed about in this world! and what we can read about on line and see or expearance, is probably just the tip of the ice berg. i think that the people who realize life sucks are the people who are the nicest. we generaly feel more then the average person, because we are more sensitive. and i dont know but i think people that get depressed are the artist’s and creative population. some of the world best art and music have come from missery. because every one must let it out other wize it eats us alive. here are some ways you can help your self with out telling anyone. make a difference in people or animals lives that are worse off then you but guard your self becasue they can depress you more looking at how horrible their lifes are. but REALIZE that if off your self who will help them then? search on line for abuse victims write a letter to them or the authorities telling how you hate abuse and want them to increase punishments for nasty people. use your big heart to help the world, and perhaps realize that thats maybe why you are here. also investigate Jesus prove or disprove to your self about him. how will this help? i cannot tell you its something you must investigate for yourself.

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’

I’ve been to depression too but it only lasted for a year, back in 5th grade. I am now in 8th grade and very happy about me, my friends, my family, and my life even though I get problems back and forth. I had talked about it with the doctor, but it really didn’t work. so I really looked deep into myself and said that im someone in life and if no one liked me its up to them, but me myself, I like me. I thought why am I waisting my time indoors sad and crying instead of going outside laughing and playing. Know look at me just by a simple question I asked myself, im up and ready to go. I’m having fun and I’ve made new friends. Very happy and ignoring the subject that once in my life I was also deppresed.

SO ASK YOURSELF WHY AM I HERE SAD AND CRYING WHEN I COULD BE HAPPY AND SPENDING TIME WITH MY FAMILY, FORGET ABOUT ALL THE SADNESS, LEAVE ALL THAT BEHIND AND START OVER.

HOPE I HELPED;)

Hi everyone. Im a Femal, 16 years young and was loving life. I have many many freinds and they do some to me with their problems but i do not make them my own. i have few to no ememys at school and my grades are average. my father is nice and suportive, tho at times it is hard to express myself to him. I have a step mom who i have no bond wiht but i am ok wiht that, i expect it to grow soon. My mother lives far away but we keep intouch and i love her. my only sister is far away also. But i still talk to her very often. My family has its line of cronic depression and my grandma, mother and aunt. are all Bipolar. I have been down i nthe dumps like everyone and have gotten over it. But latley i have these emoutions i cant explain, they are extremly overwhelming and i cant think striaght or pinpoint the problem. All i want to do is lay in my bed with my big ape stuffed animal and look out my window. I feel as tho im gaining weight. So now im on a diet, which is making my feel unconfrontable with my body. im tired but cant sleep, and i have the new habbit of obitting my nails and shaking my leg. I dont even wanna talk to my freinds or go to school, iv been trying to find any reason not to go. This of course is upsetting my father. I cant talk to my dad about this becuase he thinks im just trying to get outa school My freinds might think im trying to get attention and i dont wanna even test that. my school cousler is a comlete idiot, and im sorry but would give me no good advice. I tryed to talk to my mother but the only thing she suggested was asking my father to let me see a docter.

Im scared, confused and feel as if im losing myself.

This is long but please HELP.

im the same way im in love with the girl of my dreams but my parents want let me even talk 2 her so ik how you feal and know some one out there is carin 4 u

im the same dipresed some times my family i fill i dont fit in iv even been thinking bout self harming it got that bad that i felt like killing my self BUT I NEVER WILL its this stoopide thing we all go throw and soon we get over it and think of how sillly wev been xxx

Been there and it really does suck. You get messed up based on thinking lots of negative things over and over believe me. I didn’t get it for a long time and now I know what I was missing.

Here is the thing, it does not stay this way unless you allow it. Everyone needs help with stuff no matter if its homework or dealing with the rough parts of life. Talk to someone. Be careful about who you listen too. Talk to a counselor if you can. And there are books out there everywhere too from counselors and people that know how to help. Get help somewhere. Your happyness IS your life. That is worth figuring out isn’t it?

Sometimes we feel we have to measure up to others or others Assume we should act, think and be they why they would be and that causes problems. I think you need to do something that makes you feel good (not cutting) like listening to music, working with kids, volunteer at a hospital with kids, the more you get out into the world the more you will learn to push aside unworthy, unhealthy thoughts. Start taking up classes in something you really like. start finding a doctor you can talk to becasue I feel what ever you are dealing with you have had for a very long time..and you feel there is options in life for you but there are so many, many good options and dreams ahead for you.

I’ve been suffering depression of and on for about 8yrs now.a couple of years I got so bad that I wanted to die and my daughter to,but I went to the doctors and as hard as it was I knew that what I felt wasnt normal.you need to go to a doctor and tell them what is happening. they cant say anything as its called doctor patient only.get help before its to late, believe me when you get the right medication for you you will fell much better.

I went to a doc a yr ago he said I was depressed I self harm but havn done it for sum time im a recovering bulemic..

I was am on anti depressents.prosac.eplien do they help me no not at all for one prosac is known to cause a person to self harm more and become more suicuidal.epilen is a mood balancer thou I feel no different.. I’ve been suicidal a lot nothing to do with been emo im sick of people saying us emos are all depressed and self harmers its a load of crap..

sorry back to depression I was cut of from my family at 15 and havn seen them since., my doc says this is my trigger I disagree..

in ve end id agree go see a doc it takes a short time they give you meds and see how you feel from ver.

give the meds time to wrk people think they wrk straight away trust me they dont takes a month or so to notice..

If you cannot get through to your Doctor, print what you have just said above and give it to him to read. There are other medications out there other than prozac. I took prozac and all it did for me was to make me sleep night and day, this medication is not working for you. You should see your Doctor and tell him so he can find the right medication for you. No, people do not think you are a joke. Depression is dangerous, believe me I know you have just described to me what I have been through. Dead is not the answer, talking to your Doctor with no holds barred is the answer. Think about your wife and son. Can you talk with your wife about how you feel, I know she already knows. Please get help you are not along in these feelings. Talk loud and clear to your Doctor and do not say I’m fine when he asks how is the medication is doing for you.

God loves you, as do I and everyone around you, and lI can promis you, if you(god forbid)kill yourself, then I am positve you won’t go to heaven, suiside is a free ticket to hell I have been though the same thing, and it gets better, I promise you I can’t stop you from doing anything but I beg you, please think about what you have to lose and what you have to gain if the bad outweighs the good, then please, go ahead but I dought that wiil be the case

i am depressed people make fun of how i dress i feal alone even if many family members are with me no 1 i know understands wat i go through n when my parents fight i feal like its my fault for existing im afraid to tell anyone i no that i am depressed and i realized my life sucks and its going 2 hell almost every nite i lay in bed cry n say y do i exist…so can any 1 with the same problem as me help me get over it and my parents even think im starange and emo i feel dead inside.

Life does suck sometimes doesn’t it? But I think if you can make it through it, you’ll be a better and stronger person. Those who suffer usually appreciate and value life more than those who have a easy life.

One way of feeling better is to help someone else. You can always find someone who is in a worser position than you. If not then someone else who is in your same position. For instance, I’ve been having a crummy month…really crummy. However, by writing this reponse to you I feel I have brought some value or worthiness to my day.

Anyways, I hopeI’ve helped you.

PS visit postsecret.com if you haven’t (I visit the site when I feel especially crummy; it helps)

I am depressed and I understand how you feel but because I have been through this before but sadly fell into the trap again I know how to deal with it just a little bit better life has its negatives and its positives, try to focus on the positives, or if you fail to do so, work on making your negatives into poisitives one by one this may sound strange from a 16 year old but I know what I am talking about. By taking my advise your life will bit by bit become more positive and hopefully I’ve heled you on the road to stability like I am trying to do so myself at the moment another thing that also helps is focusing and helpig other people with there problems by helping them, unknowingly you are helping yourself xxxhope I hve helpedxxx

if I were you I wouldn’t tell anybody. your mom or someone in your family will notice you being deppressed. I had a problem and I didn’t tell anyone but one day my mom noticed there was something wrong with me. or you could talk to a friend about it.

wouldn’t it be great to just get over it, I want to slap people who say that, no I want to beat them up… but yeah depression is real, take it from someone who cant remember life before it (probably been depressed about 7 years), and it hurts, physically hurts… and sometimes you just dont want to carry on with it, and its true a lot of people dont get better… but a lot of people do… I wouldnt be seeing a therapist if I hadnt almost died and my school mandated it, but its not a bad thing to be seeing one, and yes I fought taking drugs, but sometimes its the only way… and its an illness… try and remember that… its not your fault… try asking for help… you never know… you might just get it… and maybe life will not suck as much, and maybe it will be ok… you never know till you try… plenty of people are alive and like it here…

Do you think you’re depressed, I think you must do, otherwise you wouldnt be writing this. Although self- hatred usually accompanies depression, it can be experienced on its own.. Theres a lot of depressed people here tonight, so maybe I can write somethings from my own experience- stuff I learnt, that might be of use to someone else.

I cured my own depression, ultimately no one else could or would - (lesson no 1!)

If you can ask people to help, you have a responsibility to ask them to help, going it alone is hard, and so silly, if you have the choice. I know that most people think that they need someone to get into and fix their brains and emotions with a clever little tool kit made by super intelligent aliens (no human could possible understand what was needed!) but it doesnt work like that - its all very simple really, that’s another impossibility- right? . Wrong! - it can be fixed from the outside- in! Someone told me this at the beginning of my depressed period- I thought he was a wholefood preacher, a nut, a person devoid of any compassion or understanding of the emotional human being! someone in total denial!! I am not saying that you haven’t had bad experiences that made you feel depressed, I’m saying that you dont need to phsychoANALise endlessley and get stuck up your metaspiritualwotsit backside in order to sort it out! That’s because us complicated humans were designed sooo cleverly! even our feelings have more than one way in! We are all chemicals, each affecting the other. Supporting our body chemistry is something others CAN do for us, if we dont have the will to do it for ourselves. Doing good things for our bodies will help our emotions and our thoughts, believe it or not! Families battle with feelings of powerlessness, helplessness and blame, as well as lots of more complex feelings. They would like to do something to help, but dont really know what.. Here’s a simple request to ask of your family, tell them its what they can do to give you support; Assuming already that you have a healthy diet- if not- get one! Make sure you eat sensible food 3 times a day and pour and HAND you small glasses of water a few times a day. Encourage you to keep sensible sleep patterns. Ask your family to try to feel ok about your depression, as opposed to trying to ‘make it go away’. It will help you feel ok with it too. Perhaps a note might be easier - the act its self will also have a lot of power in it! Accepting that you are like this is most of the battle won. There are specific things that you can take that help like st Johns Wort , herbal capsules from healthfood shops or the internet.. Generally, your thoughts are what create the bad feelings, The feelings can sometimes seem like they are made by them selves though, I think this is because they got stuck somewhere, long after the thoughts went away. Not very scientific, but then what does science know about depression, anyway, its how it felt to me. In your stronger moments, practice taking control of your bad thoughts- tell them you dont need them right now, or tell them to GET LOST! With a bit of practice, you actually start listening to your self without needing to be told 10 times!

This was the thing that helped me the most, it was one of the simplest too- I wish I had thought of it a lot earlier. maybe it will work for you too.

If you are eating well yet feeling under nourished- this is worth checking out! Sometimes there is a physical ailment that is either causing the depression or chemical imbalance.- or stopping is from getting better. Most common is a digestive one, so as a safeguard, eat a little live yogurt everyday to help keep your stomach and intestinal flora healthy. Unhealthy guts mean you may not be absorbing all the nutrients you need to keep your chemicals and hormones in check. You could also be absorbing toxins which CAN SERIOUSLY affect your brain/mind/emotions.

I was dangerously depressed for 3 years, I have been fine for the past few years and dont allow myself to go’ there’ anymore. its never that hard. I really learnt that depression is not somewhere I want to be, ever again. I won’t risk my mental health for anyone or anything.

Hey i am now 15. i have been going through depression for about 7 years. Just get help before you get as bad as me.. i dont want anyone to have to go through what i have .

you are worth more than that

Hey my names bernard and Im 14 My life sucks, I can’t trust anyone really. in 5th i lost my best friends and they where the only ones that care and now that they left I felt empty. After that I told myself “it is cool, I can make throught with this”. then…life started to get worse I started failing my grades, everyone started to make fun of me and my parents really don’t care. The girl I love…just doesn’t care anymore. I thought my life is going to hell. I tryed everything, even religion. but the more i try the worse it gets. Now im in highschool and I can really do anything, I never smile anymore and im afraid that i’ll do something i’ll regret

I’m sorry to that you are depressed fellow funadvice member :D. Although I don’t know how you possibly can be when there are so many joys in life. :D (I suffer from depression too I know how it feels.) If you need any help or just want someone to talk to I would be more than glad to help. :D
