Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I just got out of the hospital a few days ago because i was running away and laying in side roads hoping someone would hit me. As some of you know before that hospitalization i was hospitalized for an overdose Nothings been helping still. Ive been lying my way out if every hospitalization because i cant take it and nothing helping. I cant trust anyone nor do i want to. I just tried to run away again but i came back because my dad threatened to send me away to a group home. Are there any teens out there that could help me out or at least be my friend seeing all mine are fake..

(Perhaps consider applying for an Emotional Support Animal, if you like animals? That might be helpful)
The truth is your 15 yrs old and your wrong. There are Therapists who can help you if you let them. There are groups of kids your age, suffering with the same issues, mental illnesses and problems that you are, and they can help you. You can lie to Dr.'s and Therapists and your Parents and all that's going to get you is Hurt, picked up by some evil people when you run away and raped, forced on drugs or God knows what, or put away in a group home until you decide its time to start working with the people that want to help you to get better.
I know that you think you have the answers and know what's best for you...sorry, you don't....and the longer you fight the people that want to help you, the longer its going to take you to get on a Treatment Plan that will help you Be Better.
I've been BiPolar with Suicidal Depression for 28 years....do you think I have all the answers, I don't. I still have days where I don't know what's the right thing to do ... but I have 2 very important things. I have a Therapist that I've had a relationship with for 10 years who I know has my best interest in mind, who I know will do nothing to harm me, and who helps me through every hard time. I have a Therapist who's there when I need him to talk about past Trauma, the Trauma of being molested by my father, beaten bloody by my mother, abused physically, psychologically and verbally by both of them all my childhood and pre-teen years.
Were it not for those 2 Dr.'s and the care they put forth on my part when I'm In-patient and Out-Patient basis, I'd have been dead a long time ago and my sons would have grown up without a Mom. I've been in Treatment for 28 years, been on a BiPolar medication cocktail for 28 years and been in monthly Therapy for 28 years...Why? Because that's what it takes to manage the Mental Illness I have.
You can keep thinking that nobody understands and knows how to help you or whats best for you, or you can grow up and start acting like a teenager with a Mental Illness and accept the Professional Help that you need so very badly. Otherwise your parents have no choice but to do whatever it takes to keep you safe from yourself until you realize that what you're doing is so very wrong.
Think about it, wouldn't it be much easier to stay in your bedroom, with your stuff and your bed, and see a Therapist and Pdoc on an out patient basis. Just because the first Therapist didn't work, doesn't mean Therapy doesn't work. It can take a few to find the one you click with, it's a relationship that has to be built on respect, trust and honesty from both sides.
Think about it....because right now you are not making good choices for your Mental Health care.
