If it goes unmedicated, and without counseling to figure out why you are depressed like you are, it could turn into more....

I totally understand where you are coming from. I have been there myself. I am just now coming out of the other side but know that I am fragile and I could crash at any moment. My friends help me to stay hopeful. Hang in there. It will get better.

Unfortunately a lot of things can develope from sexual abuse besides just depression, such as post-tramautic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder. It would be good if you could get into therapy to straighten it all out.

There are also psych-somatic and psych-physiological disorders ... in English your body can either think it is getting sick or it can actually start to break down because of the stress and emotions from any other illness; ulcers and spinal pain are well-known examples. Both are best treated with counselling, however if the illness is real and not imagined then medicine is also appropriate.

Of course, depression is far-reaching, it can make us lethargic, suicidal, loss of appetite, etc.

At 16 years old you are usually allowed to seek help for yourself through community resources. You can ask a school counsellor, clinic doctor, or even a youth liason officer from the police force for some ideas.

Good luck
