I Have been feeling depressed for almost a year now, and I have read nearly all the articles posted about depression, but none of them really help me. I took the first step of talking to a trusted adult, who was one of my former teachers. She tried to help me by calling my mom and referring me to different counselors. But this made my mom very angry. My mom refuses to let me see a counselor, and she is not allowing me to have contact with my teacher either. I don't understand why, but I think it's because my mom feels like I am placing blame on her for my issues. Now I feel so alone because I have no one to talk to. I want to call my teacher, but my mom would be very angry if she found out. What else is there left for me to do if counseling is not an option? I fear I will keep getting more and more depressed like I have been. Please respond to my question, I really need your help!
Here's what I do when I get depressed...
1) you could fill that void by eating obsessively.
2) piss every1 off by ignoring them - have yur headsets from yur mp3 player on 24/7 in class, @ home, on the bus, @ work.
3) those cherry bombs down the toilet is always dimple-maker.
4) start experimenting with anything new; sex, drugs, rock n roll - what have you.
5) shoplifting is always neato!
6) Don't take everything so literally and serious. Know the sarcasm and irony in yur everyday surroundings like... say #'s 1 - 5 ? haha?
You smile yet? I know ya did. That was my ice breaker.
Okay down to business... I take it you must be in Junior high or High school, and I'm sorry you're feeling depressed, but I need to point out something very odd but serious about your situation...
You stated that your mother won't let you see a counselor. There's something you're probably not telling us - and the ball is bouncing off the walls.
People might tell you that counselors and shrinks are bullshit. Thats not true little byrdy. They are there for a reason. It's a profession for a reason, and you bet yur little heart they can help you - if you want to be helped. Now this thing with your mother still puzzles me - and since I only have a general comment from you about your situation... it seems to me that the only reason a mother might not want their own flesh n blood to seek proessional help is --- maybe they're afraid you might tell them something that may jeopordize something very important to them.
Nevertheless, I advise you to go and talk to your counselors at schoool. Try talking to your mother again about seeking help before you talk to someone. Tell her how you're feeling; if you're sad and unhappy, or feeling all alone and trapped. Cry your heart out to your mother for help first, afterall, your parents should be the first to know about any problem that you may have ok? It'll be all good -- problem may be just a communication gap.
Chin up and eyes to the sky little byrd...
you're on yur way to a brand new day!
