Mental Health - October 2006

I have been depressed all my life, and lately I have been feeling a great sadness with my life. I have been so unhappy and I cannot seem to snap out of it. I read online that going to see a therapist will help, for all of you out there that have been extremely depressed what did you do to help yourself? Those of you who have seen a therapist is it a good idea? I just want to be happy and not feel like I am worthless and should give up on everything. Only helpful advice need apply please.

Now that we have buried our baby Amber who died of the effects of the Strepococous B virus.Ther seems to be nothing left to live for.Engulfed in a painfull emptiness.sitting at the graveside, It seems that even God has abandoned us.
All the advise we seem to be getting is "keep praying" ...Go for councilling.
What recourse do we have. ?
Does someone need to be held responsible for this.?
Could the hospital be brought to book for not for not taking the necessary steps to ensure baby was immunised.

A good long-distance friend of mine is seriously depressed. He has seen a doctor before but claims that medications only make his depression worse. He has taken to drinking to help his depression but I don't think he understands that he is only making it worse. He is in a bad relationship but is afraid of losing his kids if he leaves her. He is truly unhappy and I want to help him because he has always been there for me. What is some advice I can give him and what are some things I can tell him to make him feel better?

I have been in the truth all my life. I have social anxiety and it has really been hard to go to the kingdom hall and associate. Am I the only one who feels like this? I have missed a lot of meetings because of this. I want to change and be more spiritual. The anxiety is like a road block in my life. Any other witnesses with social anxiety??

I often think of my commiting the act of suiside, but I have never tried. I always think about it though, I have no reason to hate my life yet I do, I hate everything about it, no reason. I sit in my room hold the blade up to my wrist and pray that I have the strength. I think that when I get older I might try but I dont know, or maybe I dont care, I dont think this is a question, but who knows...

I had a dramatic history of personality disorders.
1) I had avoidant personality disorder
2) I suffered from panic attacks
2.5) I suffered from derealization and depersonalization
3) I got rid of avoidant personality disorder and panic attacks
4) Avoidant Personality Disorder turned into something else, which I assume to be Borderline Personality Disorder.
Facts::
I'm currently in depression, but I'ts somehow different then before. I'm so nervous, hyperactive, I feel like I'm going crazy, I also suffer from alienation (I don't feel emotionally involved my environment), I want to escape from my country but its all in my head. I'm 15, somethimes narcissoid. Some days are fine, while some are terrible. The terrible ones are triggered by something that awakens bad memories in my case (some places, objects, person).
1)What do I suffer from?
2) I'm a teenager. Is this normal?
3) How to help myself without medications?

The only way I feel happy is when I am pleasing everyone else. I take all the hard classes and basically have no life except for the weekends just so I please others. I often feel really sad and guilty if someone is disappointed or if I don't measure up to someone's standards. If someone could please tell me what is wrong with me. I would be very thankful.
