Depression.?

I have depression and do not know what to do. I am so confused and want to cry all the time. what do i do?

hello dear,

first of all, i have been severly depressed and i got out of it and now am fine, so there is a hope, here is what you should do

1- depression may be caused by an unsolved problem that you dont know what to do about, in this case depression is just a message from your mind asking you to take action, solve the problem and your depression will disaapear.

2- depression may be because of suppresed emotions, do you get angry of people yet not express your emotions? if thats the case the anger or anxiety or whatever emotions is turned inward and converted to depression, express your emotions !!

3- crying is very healthy and it make you feel good, carries toxins out of your body, if you felt like crying, do it, its healthy

4- depression may be caused by chemical imbalance in the brain, if this imbalance is heredital, consult a physicain for depression medication.

5- depression is somtimes the result of loss of hope, fix your relation with god and you will feel that hope is back.

6- when you get exposed to sunlight a hormone called serotonin is realsed, this is the hormone responsible for mood regulation and for feeling good, make sure you get enough sun light

7- excercise, i know you dont feel like it, i know you feel that you have no power to do it, but belive me it will make you feel a way better, running is perfect for depression.

8- visit a physician if you couldent solve it alone

9- read about CBT and depression, its an easy technique that you can use on your own to change your way of thinking and so prevent depression

See a Dr.

Get a tissue.

Therapist is a good start. School counselor AND parents if you are still at home. You may need a Dr also...

Honey, I got depression too. Had it since I was about 12... and I'm 19 now. I don't think I'll ever really get rid of it. What helps though... is talking to your family or friends. I used to keep everything bottled up inside and that's why I cried all the time. I just wanted to burst with all this sadness! Perhaps, you can go to a doctor and he will prescribe you some medication. I've been put on 3 different kinds of depression pills before. They may help you, so you should look into it. No reason you should be feeling like this. :(

Well all I can tell ya is your not alone!I'm a paramedic and am off work at the moment,just in injury,But I feel so down! We'll both get through!! x x x x x

maybe its petes fault...go see a shrink...

smoke some pot

You should talk to someone. Do not think you are weird or anything. Sweetie it happens to the best of us. So you are not in the boat alone. Most people just try hide it instead of facing it. That is not good then it's hidden inside and makes you miserable. I got that way a few years back. I went to a therapist. All it took was one session. I needed something outside my family. I was revolving everything around them & thinking of myself. That was my problem. So girl go talk to someone.

Have you talked to anyone about it? There are many options, ranging from talking to friends and family to getting medical help. There is a wide variety of medications that are very safe and effective. The best persons to help you with this problem are your family and your doctor. Go to them, as soon as you can, and start explaining how you feel. Sometimes just that is enough to help. Know that you are not alone. This is unfortunately a very common problem, but you CAN do something about it. If you have a guidance counselor you trust as school, that might be a good source of advice/help as well. Good luck, and I hope you feel better.

I know how you feel. I don't know you who are, but I know what you feel. I know you want to cry, and that no one could ever understand exactly. Just pray to God for help, whether you believe in prayer or. Sometimes we fall, and nothing can bring us back to ourselves, and we feel so utterly lost and small, so depressed. But I am telling you that God is there. He loves you more than anything in the world, and all he wants is for you to believe and love him, to know that Jesus Christ, his son, gave himself for you because he loves you, and nothing can truly bring you down if you believe that. I know I'm just another stranger on a website, but I do truly care about you, and I hope you feeel better, whatever your problems are.
