Hi, I don't like hearing that you feel this way at such a young age. I was you at that age... I was 16 depressed, at 16 I got pregnant with my daughter, and my best friend who was also 16 at the time was dealing with depression. The only difference is she committed suicide, and I miss her and think about her every day.. She thought no one would miss her, and no one wanted her, but that was far from the truth! High school is tough, I dropped out and then went back when my daughter was born, and life in general is tough, but you gotta find you because you haven't found you yet, but you do have a place in this world, and need to keep tough. Please keep tough if not for anyone else than me? I am 28 now, and watching my daughter and son go through school the way we all once did, and I couldn't imagine what their teen years will make them feel, but if I can prevent it, i will try! If your in a dark place i'd hand you my flash light in a heartbeat! Just know there are people out there that care for you!

Can you talk to the school counselor or a trusted adult?

Kito, if i said that its almost normal to feel that way at times , would you believe me?
life can get overwhelming at times.and just about everyone feels this way at one point in their life. just trust me , feeling good about your self happens to. but doing the right things begins with attitude, negative only brings you more of that. so correct thinking equates to correct action. negative thinking gets you negative reactions. very simple but very true.

I feel the same .

@Tired. I would but last time I went to see them they were useless and didn’t help at all. They actually made things worse. But I might try again. I feel as though I’m getting worse now though. I don’t want to go back to the bottom again

I am so sorry you are feeling this way. You are very important even if you don't feel like you are. You are also not alone in the way that you feel. I've been in some very dark places myself and the darkness was very overwhelming. I felt like everyone was against me and that no one would stand up for me. I had some very good people in my life that had no idea how I felt but I brought it up to them and they reached out to me. You can reach out here whenever you need help. It's also possible that there isn't a thing you did to cause these feelings. If there is a counselor or doctor that you trust, please speak to them. It won't feel easy but it will be worth it. Hang in there!!!!!

sorry to hear that you are feeling so low. There is hope. things will get better just hang in there. You are not alone and we are all here for you so dont give up.

Thank you for sharing. Many things in life are confusing. This is because we are searching for our right fit. Depression sees any failure in finding that fit, as the ultimate failure. Much like everything worth having, it takes time to build and find. Every storm of Depression you endure is getting closer to finding that right fit. Once found, you will have help going through your storm. In the meantime, never shame in getting any type of professional help, as that can, even if you found your right fit. Enduring is a victory everyday. I hope this made sense. Thank you.

Hi Kit. your post is almost 2 weeks old but I as m just seeing it. Has anything changed for you? Is something specific going on that is making you feel bad or you just feel that way? I hope you have found someone who can help. The thing that saddens me most is that you and many love yourself "think about ending it". It's sad that you are growing up in a world without learning your value and the sanctity of life. God has you here with purpose, your life is NOT an accident. Murder is wrong, and it should not even be on the table as an option. But you've probably attended public school with no discussion about God, who He is and what He expects of us. The world is in such a sad state these days and I feel for you! Your age has been fed mostly crap on tv, crap from the music industry, lies from Hollywood and advertisers, etc. They've taken prayer, God, respect, love snd common sense out of the school system, added hours, added homework, depending on what area you live, you may have less teacher attention. Well.....I don't wsmt to go on because I don't want to depress you more! But you need to get to the bottom of your depression. Is it triggered by all the above mentioned? Is it hormones kicking in? Is it lack of needs being met at home? Lack of knowing our Lord and Savior, even though "the world" will tell you that's not necessary or real. It's because they are lost in this fallen world just like you may be. First and foremost ask God your creator to reveal Himself to you. Seek and you shall find. Also, get any physical inbalances taken care of. Besides anti-depressants which might be a short term help for you, please consider what you eat. Much of the food today is loaded with chemicals that throw off our bodies and make us unwell. So try to eat fresh veggies, fruits, drink water. Get good sleep. Take care of your body. You have a long and fruitful life ahead of you, ut's never too soon to treat yourself right and take good care of your body, mind as and soul!
Ps. I hope you actually sign back on and read this!! Much love to you.

Pss. Sorry bout all the mistypes! It's the "smart" keyboard.

Hey. Im also 16 years old and i cannot tell you how many time I've come close to just taking all my medications and ending it all. Most people don't really agree, but being a teen is hard. You have to balance school, your social life, family, job if you have one and so many other things. I've read that teens today have the same amount of stress as a psychiatric patient from the 1950s. If you want someone to talk to, I'm all ears.

Hey, sorry guys I haven’t been online. Thangs are getting better. I went and got help from the local councillor. Things are really looking up. I’m getting out of my dark hole and it all started with you guys. Thank you so much for your love and support, your messages helped me see the light and that I have something to live for at the moment. Thank you guys so much for everything

Look into Magnesium Citrate, D3 and B12. The One a day multiples won't even come close to helping. I can't tell you what dose I took, but I am so so so so better off than I've ever been in my whole life. I do have blood work from the clinic. Kroger used to sell D3 @ 10,000 iu a dose. That is short term, 2-3 weeks.

Magnesium plays a HUGE ROLE in over 300 enzymes. B12 gives you energy. I daily take 6,000 iu D3, 5.000 mcg B12, and 750-1,000 Magnesium Citrate. My dr. NEVER told me I was vitamin D deficient, however, tried to turn me into a vegetarian. After taking 6,000 D3 and eating GREAT (Vegetables, fruits, fish, chicken) my next blood work Hydroxy 25 was 53, before it was 27. D3 range is 30-100

GOOD LUCK....

muscle function
•Help normal energy metabolism and nucleic acid synthesis
•Help the functioning of over 300 enzymes


Magnesium and cardiovascular health


Proper magnesium levels help:*
•Maintain normal heart rhythms
•Maintain blood pressure levels already within a normal range
•The body to properly utilize and absorb calcium and potassium, two other minerals that contribute to heart health


Magnesium and learning and memory performance

•Help support learning and memory performance in aging adults
•Support regulation of a key brain receptor involved in maintaining
cognitive function
•Support the processes involved in learning and memory
•Help maintain proper communication amongst the nervous system and other body systems in aging adults
•Help regulate a key brain receptor important for supporting learning and memory function in aging adults

Sorry, I can't tell you what dose to take, I did say what doses I take. Still yours could be lower or higher dose. My dr. did say even she takes 5,000 D3, but never told me to increase my D3.

I Strongly Recommend (not suggest) to Invest in your life and Health. Because No One will, Doctors LOVE to write NEW $$$ Prescriptions $$$....it's all about money. Also having faith in finding what works for you...

FIRST CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please read the post from Kit 0407, she is doing better, and we helped, all the people who took a few minutes to help someone because it was a nice thing to do. So please don't look at someone else who is supposedly better or something else, because you were stars, you impacted someone in a positive way so please take a lot of credit. For those in high school, so there is some guy who scored a touchdown is that more important, some girl who did something at a party. Be real.
