hang in there hun

I would think the college may have a counselor available, or you might try talking to the pastor at a local church....You don't have to be religious or a member of the church...just tell them you want to talk for a while. Sometimes just telling someone how you feel can make you feel better. We all want to share our troubles...it makes us feel less alone in life. You could also write in your journal, that helps me a lot. Good Luck

as far as i am aware there is no college councellor. and i do not no the local ministers.

wow- I just typed you this long answer and lost it but here I go again-

Do you think stress from exams and term papers could be causing your depression?

Can you see a school nurse or visiting doctor (I know our local college has one plus a therapist and psychiatrist for students with depression).

Have you asked your counselor yet if there is anything in place for students who feel like you?

Are you drinking alot of alchol, coffee?

Have you ever had these feelings before?

Are you sleeping?

I feel terrible that you are experiencing such horrid feelings of depression, and would like to help you.

no alcohol i have a therapist outside of college. i dont sleep well an i have been like this for near two yeas maybe longer but i did not notice until 2 years ago

well, the sleeping issue is a real big problem. honestly, if we don't get enough sleep, we all don't feel good the next day. we aren't supposed to advocate anything specific here, but have you tried an over-the-counter sleeping med or tea?

sleep mades a huge difference in our moods, and that's not to say that it will solve the problem, but it will help

I think a call to your therapist is in order today.. let the therapist that you feel this bad.. it's important you follow up and get treatment before it gets any worse, don't you think?

Have you considered calling your parents and explaining your situation to them? They should know how you are feeling and that you need help. I'm afraid that the answer may be seeing a medical professional, but where you are underage, you will have to go through your parents or your school..

Anything you can talk to us about?

my class mates including one i thought was my friend are singling me out. plus my own twin brother is slagging me off as are my parents no help. i have no where 2 turn.

we are here to help you to the best of our ability.... you aren't alone

thanks it will take time for me to see that.

I'm a twin too and I know that feeling unsupported by your twin is one of the worst feelings ever! It's what made me spiral into deep depression. But once I was honest with her about my depression and feelings of isolation, she became supportive of me. Do you think there is any chance of that for you and your brother?

Are you able to distract yourself from the urge to weep? If your brain is deeply focused on something else it can take it away.

I'm sure there is a counselor or social worker at your college, most schools have them. Who do people get sent to when they're causing trouble? or is there a health service or nurse that can introduce you to them?

If not, we're here for you.
I hope you feel better!

no he no's i have depression but hes been distant for a while. not telling me things etc he is at his mates a lot who i believe could be his bf not that hes told me that.

sometimes people get so wrapped up in their own lives they don't notice people slipping. My sister got all wrapped up in a car club she's in this summer. She was never home and when she was she was talking about that.

Meanwhile I was suffering from depression and my boyfriend broke up with me, which left me suicidal. That night I was desperately reaching out for her, but I told her it was ok if she went to hang out with her mates and she did. I was even more devastated. It took me to be honest and straight with her to get her to notice how low I had fallen and how much I needed her to help me.

Deep down there is a connection between twins, I don't think we can't not care for each other. Maybe your brother just needs a big push! Don't underestimate the value of having support. I didn't start getting better until I had some.

i have i have told them to stop wuth the snide coments and stuff. i even told my dad to lay off the responsibility he said i will i am sorry i thought u could handle it looks like u cant.(made me even worse now i feel he thinks am useless it was the way he said it). the have not leaned off id say they do it more but harsher.
