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! (link)

ok i'm goin to try and help you the best that i can. to start off i've been depressed for like 2 years, and i am on medication. some people say that medication really helps. well to me i think depressed people need to deal with their problems on their own. Who needs a counselor, when you have yourself. Trust me, i've been to plenty of counselors in my time and most of the time they're bullshit. they ask you the same things over and over again in different ways, like "how does that make you feel?" and stuff like that. but really getting over depresssion is all in your head. Rite now im actaully getting off all of my medication. and you know why? because i have the mentalitiy to get better. Its all in your head. If you think your depressed there are sites you can go on and do surveys and take test to see if you really are. But listen, you really need to be strong! if your mom won't help you theres really nothing that you could do about that. what could help relieve stress and maybe help you focus more on yourself is to try drawing or writing. Its a form of letting out your feelings. or even exercising and staying fit, it keeps your mind from thinking your depressed. im going to wrap this up. just breath relax and focus on your self. dont let people get you down. be happy about who you are because theres always somebody out there that has it 10 times worse than you, be thankful you are who you are. My aim is on my profile and so is my email feel free to contact me if you need to talk.. i'm here for you!
