Disregard anyone telling you to "get over it" for one thing. Depression is a serious disease. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time.

Call your county health services for a list of therapists with sliding fee scales, including a psychiatrist who can prescribe you meds. Enroll in a patient assistance program to have the med(s) you need sent to you for free (needymeds.com is a good place to start).

It's so hard to do when you're feeling so low, but seek help for yourself. If you have to, pretend you're doing it for someone else you care about (sounds weird but it sometimes works).

Be gentle with yourself and don't fight your depression. Let yourself be depressed and afraid, but seek out the help you need, and be honest with care providers when you do. You can get through this.

Just go to the hospital and let them send you back,with no insurance they can not turn you down.

How about going to a County Hospital, where you don't have to pay? There should be some kind of system where you can get the help you need. Please, go as soon as possible. You DO need help.

what you need to do is go home to your family, you're still young, go back to your family and put all problems aside if you had any problems at all, and continue on with your life, i know depression is hard, and it's not easy to cope with, but you have to suck it up and keep on pushing forward, there are people that care about you and care about what happens to you, go home, go to the doctor and seek medical attention.

i hate to say this....... but that sucks!! i couldnt imagine being like that.... but if i was u i would call the department of health and human resources and ask them what u can do...

If you have any family spend time with them. True love comes from family and your heart will fill up with warmth. Move in with your grandmother or mother if they don't have problems of there own. Work on yourself by going around the city and try to find somone that is right for you. Try travelling. Take a trip somwhere to Europe and find somone who can make you feel special or just go site seeing. Pray a lot! I MEAN IT! Start going to church and that might help you. Please understand life can be much worse.

Get over it. You are too young to be this unhappy. Wake up tomorrow and start your new happy to be alive life. DLH
