Hey everyone!My name is Brina,I've been on this site for a few years, after not being on for a while, I figured I'd start up again, having more knowledge then before! I'm 19 years old and am going to be a sophomore in college this coming fall! Please feel free to ask me anything!I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY WITH SCHOOL SO MY APOLOGIES IF I DON'T GET TO YOUR QUESTIONS RIGHT AWAY!
advice
Me, always happy, always smiling..always good in school, always!! I tunred depressed. I mean I didn't really realize it until my school contacted my parents saying "she needs a therapist and probably anti-depressives" I know it sounds bad - but I used to look down on depressed people. Well, not look down on them, I felt sorry for them..because they go through stuff, but like I've been licing with my family (=HELL!) my whole life, and i still managed to be happy and have fun, so I figured "they're weak" kinda thing when they all got depressed..but now im there too. And i hate it, i hate the fact that im gonna look back ta these few years, ten years from now, and say "I hated highschool! i was miserable!" You don't understand, this has been my dream! Being a teenager i mean, i used to dream of reaching 16, having a boyfriend, lots of friends and parties..always fun, and it really looked like that was gonna happen since my whole life ive lived happily, lots of friends, lots of admirers, always good in school..and so on. SO WHAT THE HECK? This is what I've come to. I hate myself..because I know I'll walk out of this school a year from now saying "Thank G0D im out! & I'm never coming back!" And I know I wont come if there's ever a class reunion, and i completely HATE it.
Please help me, cheer me up, give me advice, do anything you can, please!
thank you so much!
Just because you've been diagnosed with depression doesn't mean that this takes over your life, and you don't feel the same way as you used to. Your making a mountain out of a mole hill as my 8th grade english teacher used to always say. One of my siblings and one of my parents has depression. They've always had it in a way, but, that doesn't keep them from thinking, or being who they want to be. So, you have depression, big deal, you can still be happy and want to fullfill your dreams. The best way I can cheer you up, is to let you know your not the only one that feels the way you do. Your very confused with all of this. It doesn't make you less of a fantastic person just because you have depression. You hate the fact that you dont want to go to a renunion? You hate the fact that you dont want to...but, evidently you do right? So just do what you want to do. If you think about it badly, it doesnt necissarily mean its from your depression. Being depressed isnt a weakness, its a challenge that you can overcome. Yes, maybe you do need meds, but, you need to find loving friends who will be their for you during the hard times. Hope I helped. If you need any JOKES to cheer you up, let me know and I'll send you tons, because I'm skilled with the funnyness :)
