Depression is an illness that many people live with. If it's taken care of and if you follow your doctor's instructions there is no reason why you can't live a happy, productive life. From the questions you've asked in the past I can tell that you are a very inquisitive person and that is an all too rare trait in a person. I am sure that you have much to live for and you have a family that is very thankful to have you. I have no doubts about that. If you get into these moods and you feel that you may harm yourself or worse please tell someone close to you. A mental illness is no better or worse than a physical illness. If it's treated then you can and should do whatever is in your power to lead a good life. I only know you from your questions and answers and I am under the impression that you are a wonderful human being with a lot to offer the world. Please talk to someone close to you who can help you through these rough times. I will be looking for more of your questions....
Dont get down on yourself! Depression is from a chemical imbalance in your body which you cannot control. Take your meds and continue to find things in life that bring you joy! They are there...in so many different forms!
aww hun.
i no a girl from my school that is like that and her brother commited suicide and shes really poor and stuff but u just gotta get out more go hang out with friends and get a bf and stuff ad then maybe u wont be sittin at home all the time and get more depressed!!! just give life a lil bit longer of achance but dont kill yourself and if no one else loves u i do and so does God ok?
Guess life is what ya make of it. I have been there, done that. My home cure for anything is a positive mental attitude, but the most impostant thing is laughter or just smile. Turn the corners of your mouth up and just see how it feels.
I'm sorry to hear that. It must be hard. Here is a website that I got from a girl who comes into my work. Check it out maybe there is something there that can help you. I read her auto bio and it was very touching. www.mistydiane.com Don't give up on life or yourself.
i dont know depression can be cruel and yeah what is the point in living but try to get off those pills they make you looney i should know=(
It may sound trite, but I think we need to learn to accept ourselves. Why make things worse? You may find that people will love you. Depressed people can still help many more people in the world and contribute to others, which is the true meaning of life. Stop thinking only of yourself and start thinking about helping others who may be more unfortunate than yourself. The time for the self-pity party is over. Sorry to be so harsh, but time for a reality check.
first of all ignor michael's comment. i know what your talking about. i go through it on and off all the time, but when life is good, its real good. the bum times are just stepping stones in life that we must jump to get where we're going. your only 16 there is a whole world you haven't even seen yet. places you have yet to travel. you need to find a hobby to keep you busy when your not doing school work. art, drama, dance, softball, hiking. get on line and research things that you have ALWAYS found fascinating and then do it.
Please stay on your medicine or have the Dr. change it, what works for one doesn't always work for another I take antidepresant and anxiety. I lost my husband to suicide about 19 months ago. Depression is the main cause of suicide. It is very high in the teenage years, hopefully you will grown out of it. You also have to work on it yourself.
I am sending some suicide hot lines for you and you can find many groups on the internet you can share and talk with.
I belong to a group of surviviors of partners that have committed suicide. There may also be some groups through your local mental health that meet and share their thoughts and feelings. These things are good to be able to share with others that really understand.

There are many more to check out online. Good luck and my prayers to you. This is serious, please get help.
The first time I can remember being so depressed I tried to commit suicide, I was 6 years old. I'm still here and I'm in my fifties. Yes, it can be with you always, but life can also be really worth hanging around for. I have a lifetime of awesome experiences I would never have had if I had been successful as a little kid. You need a nice counselor to help you through this. One who will help you find a good balance for you in your life and teach you how to rise above your illness to lead the best existence you can have. It is possible and it is what you deserve. Just letting depression rule you and caving to it is so unnecessary. There are worse things to be afflicted with. My best friend would trade with you in a minute...she has MS and lives her life in a virtual prison of a nonfunctioning body. But she can still use her mind and does so very, very well. Please don't sell yourself short.
Don't feel bad. Depression and Bipolar disorder are both very common these days. I have came to the conclusion that everyone is either depressed and/or bipolar. I was diagnosed with depression about 5 years ago and bipolar 7 months ago, (after 3 relapses with depression). It runs in my family as well. With the right meds you can feel "normal". Sometimes the side effects can make you a lil crazy and those arent the meds you want to be on. It will all work out and you will see the point in living.
I am 24 years old and I have mild to moderate depression and I am on meds and yes I hate having it but it something I have to live with.Talk to someone who you can trust and they can talk to you
Those are a bunch of baloney. You don't need anti-depressants... you need to go to a warm weather state and enjoy some sunshine. Go out with friends and surround yourself with positive energy. Read Kevin Trudeau's book, and watch that movie the Secret. You don't need to take pills, it's a mental thing. Everyone has highs and lows in their life, but its the choice we make to be happy.
dont be depressed its not worth it i use to be but not anymore listen to your heart dont let others put you down i use to get comments that i'm ugly but just ignore they're probably jealous.
