dont deal well with change.
I do not deal well with change. I go to a camp, that I wait the whole school year for. This summer was my 10th summer, and a special one cause next year i have to work there. I dont get to do all the stuff I did this year.. next year. I am not excited for school. I miss my friends, but I am gonna miss my camp friends even more. I just dont deal well with the transition and I've never been good with it. This is the last week, and once the last day comes, I always go into a depression for about a week. Nothing makes me feel better. What can I do to not make me feel so sad?

I think your condition is a chemical one, and that you should see a psychologist or psychiatrist. If change triggers this much in you, then you are definitely clinically depressed. Though you may be functional right now, something unexpected could trigger a breakdown that you might not be able to control - making you OCD or causing you to have a post traumatic stress reaction not so easily treated.
You need to talk with a professional now who can help you understand the source of your depression and treat it effectively, so that you have the tools you need to handle life as it comes.
There are plenty of state resources that will allow you to speak with a qualified professional for free. Another thing that you should start doing today eating a balanced diet, taking a multivitamin designed for your age group, and drinking at least 64 ounces of water everyday. It sounds simple, and even unnecessary to some, but many imbalances are corrected with those two things alone.
There are some natural solutions to your situation, but you should try the water and the vitamin first. And then see how you feel. And talk to the doctor. A natural help for depression is New Chapter St. John's Wort. All brands of St. Johns wort don't seem to work though. But I know for a fact that one is pretty good.

nobody deals with change well, it's hard for all of us especially when you are going to miss your friends. you have to cherish the moments you have had there...take as many pictures as you can, and stay in touch with your friends. just because you won't be with them every day it doesn't mean you won't stay in contact. tell your camp friends how they feel because they'll tell you they feel the same way as you! you just have to stay positive and concentrate on other things, find something new to do, a new hobbie, something you'll enjoy and take your mind from it..but remember all the good times you had at camp. p.s. i don't think anyone is excited for school! :P good luck.
