ok well For a year now I really wanted to go to the doctor for some anti depressant pills because of many things but as one of my friends have said, they don't know what to do with me because I'm too emotional and it brings people down. I suggested it to my dad once but when he started giving me a lecture of why do I need it, and that I should be thankful that I'm not starving in Africa, I couldn't talk, like I choked and started crying non stop and then after that I never talked to him about it again because if I did, I would just start crying before I even said a word.
My dad always talks us to the doctors, and it's his decision whether or not he gets this or that so I can't just go in privately and expect him to pay up for the prescription to drugs that I'm taking when he doesn't know what I'm taking them for.
Please help me, I don't know what to do anymore but I just think that they'll help. I'm all against drugs and stuff but this one really seems to work.
I have major depression. I've been like this since I was in like 3rd grade before I even knew what depression meant. My best friend, who has be diagnosed with major depression is being treated and she's gone through numerous amounts of different anti-depressant pills and these ones are working fairly well. But anywhos, I told my mom about a year ago...or 10mo ago about this. She just pushed it off as being a teenage stage (like a teenage starts when you're in 3rd grade?)But I've found that it's somewhat helpful to channel your thoughts out whether it's through writing, drawing, dancing, or talking.
I write poems and stories in my spare time and I tell some stuff to people...but not really. And rest of the time I try and keep myself distracted with school and outside activities.
I know it's not the best advice but that's the way I'm trying to deal with my depression.
Again, I'm not saying that you have depression and I am in no position to medically diagnose with depression of any sort, but when your parents aren't listening to you about what you believe you need, one thing you can do is just get it out in one way or another (healthily hopefully) or ignore it by keeping yourself occupied 24/7

Getting everything out of your system leaves a smile! =D [ -Star-'s advice column | Ask -Star- A Question ]
