I absolutley love helping people so i hope you will come to me if you need anything!!! i'm into acting and i have an agent...its my passion and i've been surrounded by it my whole life. also, if anyone is depressed or anything i'm a good person to ask how to deal with it. i myself went through that sort of pain and came out the other end a better person. i'm here for everyone...anytime you need me! thanks!!!
advice
I was recently dumped and have absolutely lost my appetite. I don't want to eat, move or do anything at all. Is this depression?
first off...and you're prob. tired of hearing this but i'm very sorry..he must not have been worth it because everything happens for a reason, even if it may not seem like it right now. i know that sounds like bull shit but i can honestly say from experience,its true..wheather its god or the universe or a higher being that none of us know about..whatever accually exists does things in our best interest. now, about the loss of appetitie...its very normal...believe me i have two other sisters and a brother,all of which are much older than me and if i hadn't had gotton to watch thier love so-called-trageties before i hit teen years im not sure i could have survived my love life. i get u though..when i found out who i thought was the love of my life had cheated on me i felt so numb..like i had absolutley no emotion left in my body. i felt like eating had become a chor..i just bsimply didn't want to do it anymore. and yes...it may feel like depression but its not. i've been through depression..its a whole lot worse and i know what you're thinking..how could anything be worse than this but there are things. you're suffering from the heart break blues basically and as shitty as it is to hear now..time heals everything..eventually your heart will mend and you'll be ok..i promise! you'll find someone thats accually worth your time,even if you thought this guy was the one and can't stand me talking about him this way. but i promise you..listen to some angry chick music and cry and let it out then decide to get up and move on..no matter how hard it is..you'll get through it..and im hear if ya need to talk..i hope i could help..please let me know!
I steal and I cheat and i LIE and I hack and do bunch of illegal stuff and i ususally do this to the people that actually trust me (which isnt a lot of people these days) and i don't know how to stop it or what to do, i want to becoma a good person with good karma, bu it just doesn't work. Has anyone ever turned their life around COMPLETELY? for the better.. and how'd you do it?
i have turned my life around. not in the same way but i've definatley done that. personally, i've never stolen anything or cheated but changing your life is changing your life nevertheless. I was a compulsive lyer and also extreamly depressed to the point were i didn't ever get out of bed. It's definatley hard to change but it can happen..and you'll come out on the other sude a better person. Go to a support group or accually go to a doctor and they can usually talk to you about everything and that really helps. they also make medicine for that stuff! hope i helped!
Like many people in high school living in a cold area, Im obsessed with summer. I cant wait. I look back at last summer (most amazing time of my life) and I want that so bad. I cant focus on anything but getting out of school and getting crazy. Is this normal or am I like the only one? Because none of my friends are as excited/anxious about summer as me. Theyre excited to go skiing..Anyway, I think I may have seasonal depression. What do I do about all this?!
no! you are not the only one! last summer was the best summer of my life! not only was it warm and beautiful but i met the love of my life and got to hang out with the best people in the world! I don't know about you but i hate school! I love my friends but some of the people there...are idiots! Its just one of those things you have to deal with,right? Most of the people love going to school every day but me, I just want it to be over so I can have the next best summer of my life. You arn't alone! I'm sure we'll be able to stick it out..until then, I'm still daydreaming of the last day of school right beside you!

hey...i have a question. I am a really outgoing person and really nice to everyone. Soemtimes though, i get really mad over little things cry from it. I later realise how small it was. I get moodswings alot and really angry sometimes. I cut myslef sometimes when im REALLY upset but not always. I just wanted to know from ANYONE how can i deal with my temper? When im mad what can i do? I either punch the wall or break something and i know thats not right. I take a deep breath and count to 10 but that doesnt work. I tried writing it down on paper but im afraid my mom will find it because she always gos through my room. I get depressed Sometimes and i really dont want to go to a doctor about it or anything because true say, the problem is usually small. Can anyone tell me a way to control this anger?
Please and thanks alot
I understand the anger issue. beleive me, I've had my fair share of outburts! my guess is that your under a lot of stress maybe more than you even relize and thats whats causing this. if not, there may be a deeper issue, in which case you should probably get checked out, even though you don't want to. its as easy as going to the school nurse and your mom dosn't even have to know about it. i get that you don't want to see a doctor though, i felt the same way about depression and anger...i just wanted answers, not some person in a white coat analyzing me.So we'll leave that as a last resort. For me, when i feel an out burst coming (fyi: this sounds ridiculous but really does work!), i imagine myself petting a cat or dog,just an animal that i really love. It works because it helps to lower your blood pressure,which helps to calm you down long enough to get a grip. i get why the breathing thing dosen't work. having to breath hard with something that feirce running through your body is just a sucky technique becasue it almost makes you hypervenilate,which makes you freak out, which adds to the feeling of anger. try the petting thing and if you want something else,scream into your pillow...again sounds stupid,but you'd be surprised how easy it is and how much better you feel. i'm going to say something becasue i truley want to help you and I hope you'll listen...DO NOT CUT YOURSELF!! Beleive me, depression is hard enough without adding wounds. They just hurt and don't solve anything! There are far better ways to take care of this than by cutting! Thats not healthy, and i know what your thinking, its too hard to stop but if you do i promise it'll be that much eaiser to control what you're feeling! trust me! I only want to help! Don't fuel the anger. Let me know how it goes!
How do you go about getting tested for depression? What do they do?
Because I'm tired of being unhappy.. I have been feeling like this for years and I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
Do pills really help making you "happy" or is it just a waste of time?
I just want to be happy again..
I can't do anything I like anymore. I oversleep and I'm still tired.. All I want to do is lay down and I keep canceling plans with friends..
And my confidence is low.. I dont know anymore..
I promise you, I know EXACTLY how you feel!! I'm one to know too...it really sucks! You can't take it anymore and i know you feel increadibly anxious about just getting beeter and feeling happy! I myself would just sleep or lay in my bed and do nothing..it seemed like the only thing close to an escape.I never went out with friends..i didn't care if i saw anyone ever again. When i did, I was very tired and only wanted to get back in bed. I didn't know or care for anything anymore.To answer your question about medicine, it really depends who you are and what kind of depression you have. Normally, docters or whoever diagnoses you with depression will just ask you whats wrong and if your sleeping habbits have changed..stuff like that. Depending on how you respond,they'll probably test your blood and see what comes up so they know what kind of depression you have. Yes, medicine tends to work but seeing as i don't know you and have never talked to you personally i don't know if it will in your case. Its better to try then not to. Beleive me, it made me feel tons better! I'll be here to help anytime if you want to talk! just ask!!!I wish no one had to go through the pain i went through so i hope you get better as soon as possible!! Hope i could help!

take a second..step back and breath! i've been were you are and even though you prob. don't beleive it, i know how you feel. if you are feeling like the world is out to get you,i promise they arn't. its almost hard for me to say that because i still feel like they are from time to time. DO NOT KILL YOURSELF!! I SWEAR to you thats the worst thing you could do. no matter what,life goes on. ask your parents if you can transfer schools..do something! you can't take people walking all over you..its not right! i used to get walked all over too..i was very insecure and emotional..and thought about how much i wished it could just end. it gets better! as you get older and things change..it gets SO much better!!! i promise!! i also promise that no matter what, i'm here for you! i'll help you anyway i can to get you out of this awful place you are in,emotionally. please remember that life is worth so much more than its given credit and you have to stay alive and keep fighting. i have no dobt you will turn out to be an increadibly strong person in the end! keep talking to me!i'm a friend to turn to no matter what!hope i could help!
ok. my mom made me go to see a therapist when i was about 9 or 10, and he diagnosed me with depression. ever since them i have been going to a counseler every other week. ive been on an anti-depressant for maybe 4 years now, and nothing has changed. im always depressed and i feel hopeless. i really just want to die so i dont have to deal with all this crap, but i would NEVEREVER kill myself. i just wouldnt be able to do it. i just cant handle the pain and sadness anymore. please help me! i know there is nothing that will fix this, but i need suggestions. i really want to stop hating my life!!
wow...and it just got more clear as why you are depressed. you truley are a contender! i commend you for everything and how well you are handeling this! yes,i beleive you do have somewhat of situational depression. i'm so sorry for everything your life has thrown at you and i wish you the very best! i promise you that you'll come out so strong and i'll be here helping you! i wish i could help you more! i'll do my best! hope i could help!
