My name is Stephane-Lane. I'm 15 years old and I study creative writing at Interlochen Arts Academy. I've been through pretty much everything and gotten through it all. I'll answer all questions to the best of my ability and offer insightful, helpful and honest advice.

iv'e been depressed for a really long time now, when i first told my friend i was depressed a really long time ago she said it was just a phase that everyone goes through and i'd get over it in like a month. well it's been almost 6 or 7 months and i keep getting more and more depressed. i feel so lost all of the time and i cry a lot but i don't exactally know why. i mean, i have friends and a really great boyfirned... i also went through 2 "phases" i guess, were i would cut myself [don't worry, i stopped. but i didn't ever get help so i'm afraid its going to start again] when somthing bothers me, i'm not the type of person that would make it stop.. i just kind of keep it inside and deal with it later. i also am becoming over sensitive, like the other day my friend reiss was messing with me and i compleatly lost it.. i ran out of the room and skipped two clases. i don't know whats wrong with me or how i can make it stop.... please help
Even if it is a "phase," if you feel bothered or scared by your emotions you should seek professional help. It sounds to me like you don't understand the way you feel. Yes, lots of teenagers experience it, but it doesn't mean that it's "okay" and that you should ignore it. Check and see if you have a school psychologist or social worker, and if so, talk to them about it. I would also recommend bringing this up with your parents to see if your family has a history of depression, since it can be hereditory.
Also, good for you for stopping cutting! I know it's one of the hardest things to do if you become too dependant on it, and I also know that it's scary to be faced with the possibility that you might start again.
You have a good head on your shoulders. Keep it up.
