You could try meditation. If you feel like your getting worked up over your anxiety or depression go into a quiet room by yourself and just relax and clear your mind. It might be kind of hard but just imagine you are taking all your troubles and throw them into a dumpster. If the same idea pops in your head throw it into the dumpster again. I'm bipolar but I don't take medication for it I find that this helps me alot when ever I start to slip into a period of depression.

Two weeks in the grand scheme of things is not that long. You have suffered with this for a few years as you have said; you can deal with two more weeks.

While there are some over the counter medication that might be helpful, talk to your pharmacist about which one would work best for you. The best way to deal with the next two weeks is one day at a time.

Anxiety and depression are both stress related. Anxiety cause stress and stress causes depression. It is a vicious cycle event. To cure the anxiety and depression, generally speaking, medication and talk therapy is in order. The talk therapy is used to find out the root cause of the stress causing the anxiety. Finding this out and learning how to better deal with it is generally the key to feeling better.

By taking each day as it comes and not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow or the next day you can and should be able to lower your stress level significantly for a short period of time. Once you see your doctor and you start meeting with a therapist things will get easier for you.

I know for I have had to work through my own bout of depression. I know it hurts. I also know you will get better you just have to hang in there.

If the pain gets too much for you then either call 911 or go to a hospital emergency room. At 15 years old you do not need parental permission to go to a hospital for medical help and you are always able to call 911 if you feel you need to.
