Depression


Question Posted Monday September 3 2007, 12:37 pm

Sometimes I feel sad, and think life is not worth living. But I know killing myself won't be solving anything. My question is, is there anything (medicine wise) that can help me?

There are things medicine wise AND not medicine wise that can help you. No matter what your situation, if you are depressed and you want to get out of it bad enough, you will, guaranteed. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes it takes years, but nothing is forever except death.

Life may not feel like living right now, but you want to be around when it does.

It's good that you already realize this, and are already reaching out for help. There's nothing that most of us here can suggest to help you, however, there's tons of meds out there for people in your condition and for people worse off. You could go on google and do a search to easily come up with numerous results. They do come with side affects, but most of the time these are far less painful than the depression itself.

Other things to try (even though you have not asked this) are things such as therapy, or even things like changing your diet or getting a more normal amount of sleep. Sometimes it's just a lifestyle choice that's making you feel this way - you could be isolating yourself too much, or working way too hard without giving yourself any time to relax. It could be, if you are a teenager, that you are more likely to feel this way anyway just because your body is changing so much.

In any case, you need to reach out. Talk to a guidance counselor, or an adult you trust who can refer you somewhere to be counseled and given meds. Remember that there are people to help and medicine more often than not does work. The most important thing, however, cheesy as it sounds, is to believe in yourself. Get yourself out of the door everyday when you feel like crawling back into bed, even if it is just for a walk to the park. Reach out to a friend, someone who can just be there with you. Find something that you are passionate about doing that will allow you to release all of your negative energy - drawing, writing in a journal, anything expressive. Listen to loud, angry music, or listen to sad music and just cry. It helps sometimes to let yourself be sad to get it out of your system. Remind yourself of everyone that loves you and cares about you and all the reasons why you are thankful to be alive, even if it's just a few small simple things, like how the light looks coming through your bed each morning. Remember that you are put here on this earth for a reason; it's just up to you to find that reason and create it for yourself.

I know that in many ways the medicine does help, it definitely does. A psychiatrist can prescribe it to you incredibly easily and it will help you get better. You will need to reach out and take therapy because this also really works. But through whatever process you have to go through to get "better" remember that probably the person that can help you the most is yourself.

Well, being desprate is hard to deal with. I may be only 11 years old, but i know deprete. If you always have thoughts of killing yourself, don't. Because, if you do, you may be happy, but think of all the pain your giving your friends and family. Pills for depression don't always work. You should make a chark of all the things that are making you feel this way, and then find ways to solve them.
