Don't know what to do anymore...

[Aries]

Ok, so I used to have depression when I was like 15 (I'm 17 now) but it has came back again, even stronger than before. I'm not sure what to do about it this time - the last time I kept thinking happy thoughts, listening to music etc...but now those things just make me feel like crying even more. Things have gotten so bad I have thought about suicide more than once. I have even lost a ton of weight so now I have to get new clothes because my old ones hang off me. Before you say it - I'm not looking for attention and please don't say I am pathetic. I can't help how I feel, it just won't go away no matter what I do. I feel so frustated and angry and sad right now! Sometimes I just feel like giving up.:(

Do not give up, you're 17 and no matter how hard things might seem there will always be a million people who are in a far worse situation to the one you are facing right now. You've got your whole life ahead of you, don't give in to depression, it's not worth it.

Figure out why you are feeling so angry and sad and try to work on those problems. Just remember, all problems have solutions, no matter how hard things might seem :)

See your doctor, maybe they can get you some anti depressants to make you feel better. Also theres probably someone on this forum who suffers in a similar way, you could talk and help eachother.

Is there certain things that triggers your depression?
We all go through it, some worse than others, so I wouldn't let it bother you too much, after all you are only 17.
Try working out when it happens? why? how long for? how often?

When i feel down i listen to snow patrol .
THe album 'Eyes open' is such a positive album in a negative rhythym.

Put your efforts into something productive, make yourself feel as though you are having a positive contribution towards the lives of others.

Do things you enjoy, join clubs, get out with your friends more - it'll help you to forget about just how you feel.
Stay strong. ;)

Never give up..
I have never had depressions so your probably like "yea he dosent know what he is on abot" but.. You are only 17.... you have your whole life.. and future.. ahead of you...
Just try and work it through each day.... Socialise... be with people who you enjoy being with and especially those that make you happy... go..... and have fun.. movies with friends.. theme parks...
Just sitting in the park with friends makes me happy..
DONT GIVE UP

Aries i feel the same way as you do in your last part of your note!

Definitely don't give up. Life holds so much more for everyone in the future. Is there anybody around you that you can possibly talk to about this? Like a friend, a family member, or a counsellor. Also if you want to get some feelings out you can write them down. Which in the long run could create some pretty awesome songs or poems. If you want to "get rid of some feelings" you can always write them down and take them outside and burn them. well that is all I can think of right now if I think of anything else that could possibly help you then I shall post again.

Never give up.
If you go to see your doctor and discuss it with him/her then you may be able to either get some tablets to help you or find out what is triggering it. As the others have already said you have you whole life ahead of you and that is something not to waste.

so whats ahead of me if i don't have that special someone to be wanted and loved!

[jem]

you're not pathetic at all. never think that. putting yourself down will only make u weaker.
i know from first hand experience that its hard but with support from friends and family, you'll get through it...and you'll be a stronger person for it.
just dont give up...... u can get through this =]

[tapper2]

hey Jem are you talking about me?See i hate my Moms friend and when her friend comes over all the time and when i see other people with someone it makes me want someone too i feel left out of everything of not want and loved!?

[tapper2]

Is being depressed cause of eating too much and excercising the fat away?

[Kerry]

First off nobody thinks you're pathetic. I agree don't give up, even when you think it's impossible life gets better and you've already come back stronger than ever once, you can do it again and again and again as many times need be, whatever life throws at you. You have to stay healty phisicly to feel better mentally so make sure you're eating and drinking because you won't get anywhere to feeling better mentally, also try and think Happy Thoughts, things that have made you laugh, smile and things you want for your future what you wanna do later in life it will help take your mind off it and maybe make you feel better? Anyways I hope this helped some and Good Luck with feeling better. :)
