depression


Question Posted Tuesday April 8 2008, 10:29 pm

14/f

I have taken 10 quizzes online to see if I have depression. Each of them said I was depressed.

Most of them said to see a doctor, but i dont want any one to know and my mom will find out if i tell my doctor. And i can't see a therapist because i dont have a way to see one. and i dont want to talk to any one at school because theyll judge me and stuff and i dont want them to know.

What can I do to handle my stress? Because I know I am I've been through a LOT this past year and stuff is still happening and i feel as if i cant handle it anymore.

**What happend this year**
*evicted, then moved (into a small crappy house.)
*step dad in jail
*loss of a very close friend
*lost job(owner moved away..)
*dad moved away (i have 2 "dads" and 2 "step dads"..long story)
*real dad wrote me for the 3rd time
*lost a best friend because of moving situation
*had a love triangle
*best friends betrayed me
*became basicly a full time babysitter for my mother when ever she asks i have to babysit..basicly a (teen) mother to a 1yr.old and a 7yr. old (and the 7yr old my have adhd or add)
*ETC.ETC.


(I cant talk to any one, and i dont have to for yoga or meditation. and i dont feel like crying anymore.)
So any thing to relieve stress?
Thanks in advance!

I know how the babysitting goes. My mom did foster care for a long time. Since 6th grade, I have been taking care of babies, and since my freshman year, i have become her babysitter. I understand why though. Sometimes, you just can't take a four year old with you. Some thing I did when I was trying to handle way to much at once was find a happy place or read. My "happy place" consisted of my daydreams. Since they are in your head, no one could see them. Reading also takes you to other places, so you can temporarily forget your own problems if you get absolutely absorbed, which is usually what happens to me. what about going to the spa for a pedi? Just close your eyes and let the person do their work. and pedi's only take about 15-30 mins. And don't worry. I feel the same way (depressed, i mean), and I talked to someone about it, and they said that it's a regular phase for anyone from 13-17. I'm so sorry if I couldn't help you. Please, if you need more advice, email me at smarty_pants_2009417@yahoo.com anytime you need someone to listen to you who you won't see at school. ^_^

I keep a journal when I am upset. Not just your average journal though. I write a letter to the best friend that made me mad (just keep it in your journal--no need to deliver it, just get your feelings out on paper), I write letters to my friend Jason (who passed away about 7 years ago), I write to the one I love but refuse to tell, etc. Sometimes I just use it to jot down every feeling going through my head. Give it a shot, you may be surpised.

I know that you don't want to talk to anyone, but I'm wondering if maybe you should atleast think about talking to a counselor. They are not obligated to tell your parents unless they feel you are a physical harm to yourself or others. Atleast think about it. It sounds like you need to get this stuff out!!!

I wish you the best of luck babe! Keep me updated!
