Okay. So I'm 14 years old, but ever since I was 10, I've been extremely depressed. I don't even know why. But the littlest thing, say my boyfriend isn't around for a day, and I'll get mega depressed. It's only with my love life. Even if I don't really like a boyfriend that much, little things will make me cry, and I don't know why! I'll say I won't care, and I really believe I don't, but every night I cry and cry and cry. If I'm not depressed I'll often just seem to have no emotion. I try to ignore it. Is there anything I can do to stop being so depressed? I've tried doing fun things and everything...I just don't know, I've been considering suicide quite a lot, and I KNOW that it wouldn't be cool to do that, but...I'm a great student, my parents aren't bad, it's not like I'm dirt poor or anything, and I have great friends, and big dreams, but if my love life isn't perfect, I just break down.

Debateist answered Tuesday January 16 2007, 6:42 am: Firstly not to be a bore but suicide is never the answer Im sure that youve heard this all before but it isnt.
Secondly you could go to the doctors and see if he would give you anti-depressants but I wouldnt recomend them as they can give you mood swings of the bad kind and also they alter your sex drive I dont know if this would effect you at the moment but in the long run it could.
Finally and I know that this may sound terrible to you but you could ask your doctor to refer you to a phyciatrist so you could talk through what may be the cause of your depression this is what I did when I was in a similar situation to you and this was probably the best decision of my life.
I may not have helped as my advice is pretty simple but I hope you feel better and realise that life is always better than death.

I used to cry very easily and one time i tried cutting myself. But good thing i came to my senses and i just suddenly stopped and i was happy. Try to get an appointment with a therapist or just talk to someone. A family member, a friend, pen pal, anyone. I mean if your desperate you can talk to me! lol You could see a doctor and ask if they could perscribe you some anti-depressants. If you need to cry, then cry. Dont bottle things up and if you dont feel like smiling, then dont smile. Think of positives in bad situations, even if its tiny things like "i have nice eyebrows" lol You should really just talk to someone close to you about this and see if they can help. i hope you feel better soon =] Love xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx [ xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx's advice column | Ask xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx A Question ]

go to a doctor.
it might be kinda weird to tell them about being depressed about love life.
but they should perscribe a medecine to you.
and this way you won't be feeling sad anymore.
and PLEASE dont consider suicide.
you know its stupid, so why try it?
instead try making the best out of something.
seriously consider that doctor :]
and, not trying to sound like some weird shove-religion-down-your-throught-person. but really, maybe try going to church :]
