I can't "hype" you up, but I went through depression too, and I'm sure the remedy is different for everyone. BUT, what I did, was I surrounded myself with things that made me happy, and I tried to never be alone, I'm always out on the weekends.
In my case, my boyfriend brought me out of it, so I had help. But in your case, like I said, do what makes you happy. And don't listen to any depressing music.

Go to the nearest 7-11 or whatever and get the biggest slurpee they have. Wait a tic, go back and get me one too. Then make some mac & cheese with little hotdogs in it and curl up on the couch watching reruns of Family Guy.

See a school consuler or consuler. They will help with your problems. They know everything about that kind of stuff, they will give the confidence you need to raise your spirt. My advice to you is to see a consuler.

Your parents splitting up was probably a good thing. Something had to have went wrong, not necessarily a bad thing, but right now it's probably for the best. Not making your AAU softball team is one of lifes little disappointments. You're still able to practice and play softball, just work at it and there's always next year! About the boy thing: We all have them problems.


Suggestions: Make contact with family and friends. Go to the movies, get a jogging buddy, or talk on the phone with someone you're fond of. Spend time with someone you consider to be positive, productive, and in a good state of mind. Also, try writing down all of your feelings in a journal. You'll look and read through them and be amazed at how you've changed. If you're afraid that someone will read your journal, rip up your entries and throw them away. And lastly, be around people who are active and spend less time alone.

well, first of all,remember that your parents love you very much and it's not your fault that they broke up. then talk to someone about it. telling someone that you trust about your feelings will really help (trust me i know).if you still feel really depressed talk to your doctor about taking some anti-depressants.


hope i helped you!

Try talking to someone. Whether it be one of your parents, a teacher, guidance counselor or close friend. I would recommend talking to one of your parents, and tell them how you feel. Then maybe you could go to a doctor, and they can tell you a good counselor near you. You may need anti-depressents, who knows. But just remember, a lot of people love you. And you're not alone, many people feel this way. Everything will get better, don't worry! You can IM me whenever you want.

Hope I helped!

You don't need anything to hype you up. Wouold only make matters worse.

You have a right to be in the dumps. Sounds like you have been through a lot recently. It's perfectly normal to feel the way you do. And, one thing just kinda led to another.

Just remember that your parent's still love you and their getting a divorce had nothing to do with you. And, there is nothing you could have done to make it work out for them.

You probably didn't make the team because of all the stress your dealing with at the moment.And the guy, well...he just wasn't the one for you. A new one will wander by soon.

Believe it or not everything will work out. It will take time though. Hang with your friends and cry on their shoulders when you need too. Take it easy on the folks because they probably feel pretty rotten too. Cheer up soon okay? :)
