Any ideas on what I can do to get over my depression.. Please..? |
I am currently 15 yrs old and I have been told by my counciler that I have been depressed for about 5 months now.. My general symptoms are: No sleep what so ever, Not eating, Crying randomly, thoughts of death and basicly the regular depression symptoms.. So basicly I was wondering if there was anything I could do to try and break this.. Im tired of feeling like crap on a regular basis and tired of my family complaining to me that i look misrable and yelling at me for something I cant break.. So ya.. if theres any ideas please let me know before I do somthing I will regret in the long run that I havent already done.. Well there are a lot of things you can do actually. Things you can do for yourself: Surround yourself with people who love you. Find something you love--art, music, sports, whatever--and just do it. Find an outlet. Go jogging, rant in a journal, find a friend you can talk to (email me if you want, even!), anything that will get the emotions you're having out. Then there are things that you can do to get help, such as seeing a therapist or possibly anti-depressants if you feel they are needed. I wouldn't recommend anti-depressants as a first choice because there have been studies that have shown anti-depressants may make problems with depression worse for kids and teenagers. I really hope that I have helped some, and like I said, if you want you can always feel free to email me. begin an exercise regime, stay away from junk food, eat lots of vegies and fruits, and set both short and long term goals... lastly, make no more excuses for youself... so get up and go... welll if you go online and take the test they're usually right. i am 14 and i have all those symptoms and i took the test and it said i should see a docotor. u can get medication that will make you feel so much better. trust me. MAYB U CAN GET A HOBBiE SO U WANT THiNK ABOUT WATEVER HAPPENED AS MUCH AND MAYB A THERAPiST Well it sounds to me like you have been seeing a school couselor becuase any real counselor would have sent you to a psychiatrist to get some medication. No sleep is a very rare symptom for having depression, many people with depression generally find it hrd to wake up at all. Sound to me like you might not be experiencing depression alone but mild mood swings. Although you speak nothing of anger, unless your depression includes you being mad at the world. My suggestion would be to ask your parents to get you to see a psychologist, to help you handle your problems, and if they suggest you to see a psychiatrist to try some meds I wouldn't hesitate. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. see a psychiatrist. no offence, he will direct you in the next step to take. may be even medicine. Okay first off Depresents will make it worse as it just mask the actual depression. What you need to do is take a deep trip within yourself and try to find cause for this depression. Figure out a reason why you are feeling like this. Next, try to do something to get your mind off of it. Running helps soothe the mind and helps with clear thinking. Karate and Kickboxing helps release that agression that might cause because of the depression. Try to do anything within your power to get out of it cause you are way to young to be depressed and you have your whole life ahead of you. if its relationship problems, no need to be depressed about it, u might not find the right person now but you will. Usually with depression, there is one or more source causing it. Liek i said just try to find the reason for it and fight it. |
