how can i stop my sensitivity??
Earlier today my dad was yelling at me because I forgot to mention my depression at the Doctor's when I was going there mainly for my ear infection. He yelled at me, and I started to cry because I felt horrible, and then he yelled at me saying that I am just a big cry baby and I am always crying over something stupid! But I can't help it.. I seriously can't. If someone yells at me, or scolds me I cry because I feel so guilty. But I don't want to easily cry anymore! I wanna feel stronger than that (since I am NOW 16!! And I should be acting like an adult) As my dad thinks, I really need to grow up!
But it's hard to not cry since I am sensitive and very emotional, and I am really depressed, so when I am in a sad or depressed state I cry over anything. Maybe it's normal for a teenager girl like me, but some times I feel I am just 'over-doing' it. How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Well teenage girls, cry easily, we are over emotional, plus the weight of your depression, you have the right to cry. But you should only give yourself a period of time to cry, and then stop. I know that sounds bad, but you need to heal, and to heal you need to allow yourself to let your feelings out, but there is a point where you just need to stop, and be like "there that was my crying for today". Also, I think your dad should understand that you are depressed and you are SUPER emotional. He should be more sensetive to this. Find a support group, your friends, talk to them about this, let them comfort you, talk to a counsular (i do) and it works wonders, its like letting everything off your chest, and you feel so much better.
I hope you start to feel better,
You can win this.

I don't think there's anything wrong with crying. It's an honest response to how you are feeling, and it's not very supportive of your father to yell at you when you are feeling vulnerable.
If being an 'adult' means bottling up emotions and hiding your feelings, then I say DON'T grow up. I think it takes a lot of courage to experience life as you are - whether that's depressed, afraid, or any other emotion a person may feel.
If you would like to look at the reasons for your depression and frequent crying, counselling might be helpful. It will give you a safe, supportive space to let your feelings out, meaning you might feel more stablised and therefore less likely to cry all the time. Counselling might also give you an opportunity to experience crying in front of someone and only getting kindness in return, allowing you to think more carefully about your relationship with your father.
All in all, I think counselling's fabulous. Your doctor might be able to recommend a counsellor, or you might speak to your school to see if they offer counselling.
I wish you the best.

hey, well some people are just extra sensitive. maybe thats just you. i think you should see a doctor just to see if you have a problem or if your just extra sensitive. from there they will know what to do.

If you are depressed, make another appointment to get back to your doctor (The sooner, the better). Let the receptionist know that you want to talk to the doctor about depression so she allots you plenty of time to talk about it.
Be sure you tell them everything about how you are feeling, and tell them everything that's going on in your life. Leave nothing out.
If your doctor feels you are suffering from depression, they will be able to help.
That will most likely cure your "sensitivity" issues.
P.S. Your dad may be yelling at you about it because he doesn't like to see you sad and crying, and he knows he can't make you feel better.
