Question Posted Friday September 23 2005, 11:40 pm

Hi there. I know it is really really normal for people my age (teens) to get depressed because of hormones, 'stress', stuff like that.

I'm probably a drama queen for some reason but i get "depressed' a lot actualy 'down' is a better word. every time i think about anything, my friends, my future, i get reallllly pessimistic and get upset and everything. i know i'm really pessimistic and stuff and i always compare myself to other people, it's really sad.

i don't even know what's going on. i think it's become a habit now, getting down and stuff. it's like even where there's nothing to get sad about i get sad. it's bad i really do'nt like it. i always waste time like watch tv or something instead of do homewrok whenever i get depresed. i don't even know if this is clinical depressinos or just hormones and my personality. i like talking to friends about it, but a lot of them just think i'm a "pessimist"

thanks

I know where you're coming from so you aint alone. First of all depression IS normal so i'm glad you realize that. But the fact is, it shouldn't have to be considered normal. I know that school is like extremely stressful and you have to think about your friends, future and i totally know how all that feels. But when you get depressed, start thinking about one thing in your life that makes you happy. Be it a special someone or just..anything, focus on that. Try waking up in the morning and saying,"today is going to be a great day" and really believe it. I know that it sounds kinda weird but you'd be surprised on how much better your morning is and how it affects other people around you. I get into the habit of being depressed alot too but just think when you're like that, people dont want to be around you so it usually makes your day even worse!!! And of course, we dont want that. So try for like one day to wake up in the morning, think of something to look forward to and just be determined to stop the whole drama queen act and i guarantee you'll have a better day. Now if you dont, write me back okay??? And i'll hopefully think of something else but for now trust me and try it. Write back anyways just to tell me it worked. You know, boosts the whole self esteem. :) Good luck!!!
