I have friends who struggle with depression.
Sometimes they tell me it just feels like they are going through the motions, and that they are sick of it. Dont give up though. I know a lot of them feel like they are in a hole, and that its completely dark and they think they cant go out since they've been so sad for so long. But thats not true, I cant really give you anything specefic to help you, but I can tell you that prayer helps. People who are there for you, who support you, that helps too. Getting out and doing something fun? Or atleast trying to have fun, or just talking to someone, being personal with a best friend, or something you are really close with and that you can confide in.
Dont give up on life, I hope you live a full beautiful life. <3

I was once diagnosed a depressant to but I refused to take the medication (when i was about 15/16) because I think it was something deeper than the doctors thought it was.
I did this sort of self evaluation of myself; like throught the day if I got depressed or mad, ect. I would write down what has happened moments before to sort of find out why. After realized the reasons to why I think I would have these outbreaks of depresstion I started looking on the 'bright sides'. And it really helped. I also tried to avoid the situations that made me depressed. for instance if it was a bad grade i'd try and study, if i didn't get enough sleep i would try to. stuff like that.

Have you talked to your therapist about this? So many people have depression. In some cases depression is caused by a chemical inbalance in the brain. Neurotransmitters in the brain called serotonin and norepinephrine may become imbalanced and medication can be given to increase the levels of the chemicals in the brain. Maybe the medication you are taking just isnt' the right one for you, or your dose isn't adjusted properly. Certain medications increase the amount of serotonin OR norepinephrine, not both. Tell your therapist and he can fix this. You shouldn't have to suffer. 9 or 10 is a pretty young age to be diagnosed with depression. Did something happen when you were younger? Most teenagers go through depression and eventually it gets less and less. Hormones have a big part in it too. What are some of the things making you sad? Is there any particular thing that makes you hate life? Also, is your therapist good? If he's not helping, maybe you should try a different therapist. Certain things also can make you happy. Chocolate has certain chemicals in it that actually stimulate the brain. Try to smile. Smiling trigers the brain and it helps a lot. Find something that makes you happy and focus on that. Whats your home situation like? Is it a good environment for you? I'd like to help you if I can. I've been through the same thing you're going through now, and I'm 21 now. My life is completely different and I love life. Just take it day by day and learn to appreciate everything. Don't ever take anything for granted. I hope this helps. <3 Dana
