13, f
I just moved to Moore, OK a couple of months ago. Everything seemd to be okay. Except, Ive been deppressed lately. Not just like once and it goes away or my bf broke up with me deppressed, I mean deppressed on and off. I hide my true feelings, like I'm trying to shoot down my tears with other things. But I can't because either way, i feel way to deppressed to think. With personal problems, school drama, self-esteem issues. I mean Ive gotta a lot of problems. My friend, Rachel, thinks that I should go get some help for it. Like it's major. But I think all that's gonna do is make things worse. So should I just coop up all my stuff and stay deppressed and hide it? Or should I just go to my school counseler. Help me.... before I do someting really stupid. (link)

There are physical things, like hormones, that can increase the feelings of depression, but overall, depression is a spiritual issue, so bless you for seeking help in this category.
Thirteen is a tough age. The body is going through changes. Kids are mean. Self worth and self image are vulnerable. These are all very real things. However, how a person deals with these things determines whether depression will rule that person's life or not.
Depression grows with a focus on "self". I challenge you to think about this...every time you are faced with a situation that causes the little voices in your head to say things like, "See, you are stupid." or "You are worthless." or "You are fat." or "They don't want me to be their friends." or whatever it is that the voice says, stop and realize where those thoughts are coming from. They are coming from the pit of hell. If the evil one can get you to accept those thoughts as true, he has succeeded at getting you to look at self instead of God.
When you say, "It's impossible." God says, "All things are possible." (Luke 16:27) When you think you can't go on, God says, "My grace is sufficient." (2Corinthians 9:8) When you say, "I'm afraid." God says, "I have not given you a spirit of fear." (2Timothy 1:7) When you feel alone, God says, "I will never leave you or forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5)When you are worried, God says, "Cast all your cares on Me." (1Peter 5:7) And thousands upon thousands of other promises in the bible.
I'm by no means telling you this is an easy ride, but rather offering you hope through this.
If you see a counselor, be sure it's someone who will encourage you in the Lord. And whatever you do, DO NOT take anti depressant drugs. They give a false sense of happiness and in the end make things worse.
My column is only a click away if you need me.
