Depression - Teen Support Group

I don't know how valuable my advice will be since I feel the same way but just take it one day at a time, do things to destract yourself, and sleeping is good I love sleeping. I am here any time you want to talk about anything. :)

thanks, I mean I do that. but a day is 24 hours. distracting myself, I do that. But in the back of my head it is still there

I know and it's always in the back of my mind too, have you tried a medication to get rid of your depression? or councelling?

Well, I tried councelling like 3 years ago when I was in eighth grade, and the lady freaked me the fuck out so I stopped going, and my guidance councelor told me all I wanted was attention and to get out of class, that I was wasting her time. and meds, no.

my depression got so bad that my councilor freaked and passed me onto a psychologist. my depression has dropped a bit because i spent most of my time on social sites or helping people with their problems and i found even a little flirting can help so if anyone needs cheering up im here to add

I felt this exact way last year, even still sometimes today. i told my mom, she flipped and took me to my doctor. he put me on meds, they didn't help so he put me on different ones and they work pretty good now. i tried a shrink also and i think those are just bad! what i tried to do was to notice all the beauty in the world-a bird singing, the warmth of the sun, just the little things. then try some new things-I KNOW how hard this is, but it can help immensely! also, try to be outgoing, compliment someone, ask them questions-this can distract you and gain friendship. try to do something physical, when I'm playing lacrosse it's like i'm in a different world and a different person. TRY TO FIND SOMETHING YOU LOVE!!! hope this helps! if you want to talk i'm here :)

I have tried just about everything, my mom wont put me on meds. and my councelor is all like "You know if your gonna act this way for attention then i am sending you to the Portage county social worker therapist lady." and she did, and that lady was a fat morman who told me i needed to knit and learn breathing skills. and i told her she was a fruit and never went back, and my counselor said i was wasting her time cuz i wanted attention

Sometimes you have to push through the hard days to get to the good days.

i know exactly how you feel . i had realy severe depression for 3 years, and that whole 3 years i sat in my room everyday smoking crying writing and listening to music.. what helped me was becoming active again and distracting myself from being alone.. im still suffering with my good and bad days , but being depressed so long and hitting rock bottom has filled me with a sense of empowerment to be strong when i feel i am slipping back into gloom.. you need to find what works for you whether its professional help, or just simply talking to people who care how you feel and will take the time out to listen!! goodluck and be strong...
