Ok, I'm 13 and I get really bad depression. I've had it for like over a year now. I forgot what its like to actually have true happiness. And I know most teens go throug this, but mines pretty severe. Like I never want to do anything anymore, I just dont care, I hate life, And most of the time I just feel like dieing. And like ver since I got it, its screwed up my life. I lost all my friends and havent really had any in like a year. It seems easy when people just say "start making new friends" or "find an activity you like doing" or try to be happy or whatever, but its so hard. I don't know what to do about my depression. Please help?

if your only 13 you haven't even flirted with the emotional cancer know as depression. i know how you feel. i remember when i was 13, i had it bad, real bad. now i'm 17 and it's much worse.it's worse because at 17, for me at least, things become clearer. as i develope mentally i begin to see how bad my life in fact is and i already have my future invisioned, it's full of loneliness and sorrow. now i'm kind of like the living dead, i move around, i walk, i talk, but the truth is, i'm nothing, absolutely nothing. i have an answer for you though, music, it's that simple. i'm not talking about trash pop music or whatever, i'm talking about stuff with substance. here's some stuff i recommend: nirvana, alice in chains, deftones, korn, pantera, slipknot(if you've got alot of inner rage, slipknot is the best remedy), stone sour, the cure, marilyn manson, nine inch nails, mudvayne, staind, and stabbing westward. the music won't make you feel better but it will relate to how you feel.

Have you talked to your parents about this? Is there a situation that happened around the same time you became depressed? There is something that triggered this and you need to speak to someone in an authoritive role about this. Go to your parents, guidance counselor, minister. They will help you get over this depression.

This isn't normal teenage moodiness you're going through. It's definitely clinical depression. Tell your parents what's been going on and ask them to take you to a doctor. If they're not supportive, talk to a school counselor/psychologist and s/he can help you out and convince your parents you need help. I've been in treatment for depression for many years, so if you have any more questions, lemme know.

I've always found that writing helps me. Anytime I'm sad or angry, I write it down. Sometimes it's poetry and sometimes it's a letter to myself. I just write and write until I can't think of anything else to write about, and it usually helps me to work out my problems. And there also nothing wrong with a good cry every now and then. I hope this helps and good luck.

Hey sweety. If you really think that you have depression then i think you should talk to your parents about it. And tell them you think that you should go to the doctor and see what he says. If he sees a problem then he will prolly give you med. to help you out. and a lot of times there is a cause for the depression, like somethin dramatic that has happened, so if there is anything you want to talk about just let me know, im here anytime and i would love to help you out and talk. But it can also just b something that happens, bein a manic depressant runs through my mom and dads sides of the family so i know about it. and sometimes my mom will jus drop and be sad for like ever how you sound. But if you want to talk let me know. and you should deffinetly talk to your parents about some of this and get help. ;) i hope i helped

Medications arent always the answer. I used to be so depressed when i was 14, that i would stick needles through my skin and give my self eraser burns. I saw a counselor twice. That kind of helped. My counselor atleast got me to realize what it was that bothered me. We talked about every member of my family and what they were like and how my relationship was with each one. We talked about friends and school and relationships. It made me realize that i was depressed because i felt my family didnt understand me and i always felt pressured to do things for other people. I was depressed because i thought i would never live up to what people wanted me to be. Then one night, an old friend called me and said she was on the verge of killing herself. I mean, she was ready at that moment. I talked to her from 11:00pm to 7:00am the next morning. I talked to her about the things i talked about with my counselor. For 8 hours i made her realize how much more imortant life was than she was seeing. I had the chance to chance someones life...and i did. Learn from your experiences, think more about the things you want to do or be. Think about your family and friends and what makes you really happy. Also remember that only you can change things and make them better. So true happiness comes from you. Good luck and God bless you.

Go to a doctor and get tested so he can get you on some meds. Because a lot of people go threw depression and a lot of people get on meds. Go to a counsler (sp i think?! whatever) to talk to and tell them and they can help you. Try and tell your friends (or ex friends whatever) what has been going on and explain to them why you havnt felt the need to hang out. If they dont understand they arnt really friends! Good luck and best wishes.

You should go see a doctor.. The doctor can diagnose you with depression (if he hasnt already..) And if he has, he should have prescribed you some Anti-Depressants.. This medication triggers your hormones and literally make you happy.. Sooner or later you will be reduced on a certain schedule and eventually u will have to stop taking the medication.. You canT just hurry up and meet new friends and find something you like to do, that doesnt make you happy.. you need to love yourself first before you can love something else.. I recommend that you see a specialist.. Doctor, Pediatritian, and if you need to talk to someone about your problems maybe see a therapist; I hope you feel better, And everything goes well.. Best of wishes <3 PAris MArie

you need to tell your parent(s) so they can arrange an apppointment with a doctor, you may have chornic depression. do that first. then for now, you should find what makes you happy, if anything, and do it as often as possible. or find someone who makes you happy and talk to them as often as possible. satying busy helps me.
