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

We're so depressed that we might do things like cut or commite suicide. You need help you should talk to your parents and tell them. You should also go to counseling because of your depression you keep things that bother you in and dont tell anyone this way if you go to a counselor you can tell her/him how you feel.I think you should get meds too it will help A LOT it will help you not to be depressed all the time.If you ever want to talk im me Sugarsweetay13.

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.
MestUpElf0192 answered Tuesday February 8 2005, 6:00 pm: I know how you feel... People automatically assume its just a "phase". When truthfully half the time it isn't. Talk to your mom about it and she could help. That is what I did and now I go to a counsler. It's best to get your feelings out by writing as a way to vent. If not writing then just go outside and play a sport... Anything to get your energy out. It SERIOUSLY helps! I write alot and it totaly works. The over sensative thing you should just try and tell yourself "It's alright... They are just messing... You will get over it soon." and after outspurts like that just apolagize. Hopefully everything gets better for you! Need anything you can always email me or drop a message in my inbox! :o) [ MestUpElf0192's advice column | Ask MestUpElf0192 A Question ]
