Deppression.......
13, f
I just moved to Moore, OK a couple of months ago. Everything seemd to be okay. Except, Ive been deppressed lately. Not just like once and it goes away or my bf broke up with me deppressed, I mean deppressed on and off. I hide my true feelings, like I'm trying to shoot down my tears with other things. But I can't because either way, i feel way to deppressed to think. With personal problems, school drama, self-esteem issues. I mean Ive gotta a lot of problems. My friend, Rachel, thinks that I should go get some help for it. Like it's major. But I think all that's gonna do is make things worse. So should I just coop up all my stuff and stay deppressed and hide it? Or should I just go to my school counseler. Help me.... before I do someting really stupid.

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
you should see your school counselor because bottling up emotions is very dangerous and it can drive you to do stupid things that you may regret later so see a counselor then go lay on your bed hold your face to your pillow and scream the screaming helps then when you are done screaming just cry let all your emotions out though it may take you a while you will experience happness again but remember no one should ever have to bottle their emotions because they are ment to be expressed .peace and love the gaurdian

Being depressed, or just going through some tough stuff is normal becoming a teen. You go through lots of depression when you become a teen b/c things just seem to get much harder for you. But, try not to hide your depression as much as possible. You need to go to someone you trust and get all of it out b/c if you don't, then there would be a possibility to where you do [do] something stupid in which you might regret. If you think you'd feel comftorable talking to your counselor, then try that. If you feel comftorable talking to your parents, then there may be a possibility to where they can help you as well.. But being able to tell your friend Rachel how you feel is very important because a lot of times telling your friends how you feel makes you feel better sometimes b/c you just feel like that person you really care about cares about you because they listen to what you have to say. Try to go out and do some fun stuff with your
friend(s) and that will help you cheer up some-what. The more you become happy, the easier it will be for you to become happy more often. well i hope i helped some-what * Skyla *

There are physical things, like hormones, that can increase the feelings of depression, but overall, depression is a spiritual issue, so bless you for seeking help in this category.
Thirteen is a tough age. The body is going through changes. Kids are mean. Self worth and self image are vulnerable. These are all very real things. However, how a person deals with these things determines whether depression will rule that person's life or not.
Depression grows with a focus on "self". I challenge you to think about this...every time you are faced with a situation that causes the little voices in your head to say things like, "See, you are stupid." or "You are worthless." or "You are fat." or "They don't want me to be their friends." or whatever it is that the voice says, stop and realize where those thoughts are coming from. They are coming from the pit of hell. If the evil one can get you to accept those thoughts as true, he has succeeded at getting you to look at self instead of God.
When you say, "It's impossible." God says, "All things are possible." (Luke 16:27) When you think you can't go on, God says, "My grace is sufficient." (2Corinthians 9:8) When you say, "I'm afraid." God says, "I have not given you a spirit of fear." (2Timothy 1:7) When you feel alone, God says, "I will never leave you or forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5)When you are worried, God says, "Cast all your cares on Me." (1Peter 5:7) And thousands upon thousands of other promises in the bible.
I'm by no means telling you this is an easy ride, but rather offering you hope through this.
If you see a counselor, be sure it's someone who will encourage you in the Lord. And whatever you do, DO NOT take anti depressant drugs. They give a false sense of happiness and in the end make things worse.
My column is only a click away if you need me.

I really do understand (at least parcially) what you're going through, because I just started going to a boarding school in a city that's thousands of miles away from my hometown. So i have the same problem that you have, only I can't even come home to my family at the end of the day.
I'm depressed ALL THE TIME. I always feel sad/mad/upset no matter what. One thing that helps me is watching movies- ones that are a really good escape from whatever the hell i'm going through. I use distractions to keep me from committing suicide or cutting. I'm a dancer- sometimes my dance classes help me.
You could always talk to your school counselor. I've tried several therapists and counselors in and outside of school- but none of them helped me. They basically just get paid to listen to you rant.
But there's no harm in trying it.
I really hope you can find an interest that makes you want to get through the day.
