Answer 1

Hey!! I hope you are feeling better, I'm sorry to here that, but first I just wanted to say you are not alone Life is for you not against you, you have a purpose to live for life. Tell your auntie how you feel asap. You should really find the nearest doctor, and also their are tons of agencies clinics that can help you.Last, but most importantly I sympathize with you, so I will pray for you in Jesus Christ name he is the best help and you are never alone because God is always with you. Ask God that you need the Love of Jesus. Many of the great men and women asked this in the bible when they were hurting. And many found out he is full of mercy compassion love. Because we are all in need of comfort because of the pains of the world. Jesus says he wants you to come to him I have cryed out to God many many times everyday not with tears all the time, but with a heart cry to say help me in this day. Mattew 11:28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. don't give up!! If you don't have a relationship with God pray a prayer simple tell Jesus you need him believe in his life death burial, and ressurection.Romans 8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
he is a mother to the motherless father to the fatherless.
written by someone who feels like you. a psalm
2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

Answer 2

This is probably a particularly hard time for you because it is the holidays and also the anniversary of your mom's death. Life has dealt you a challenging hand. If you make it- you will be an incredibly strong person capable of helping others. If you don't make it you will be another sad statistic.

You really need someone to talk to- like a therapist. You say you are on depression pills so hopefully you are also in therapy. You say you want attention- which is understandable, but you have to find a positive way of getting it. Healthy people get attention through their accomplishments. Try visiting people in a nursing home and writing an article in the school paper about your impressions. Learn to play the guitar. Take dance lessons. Excercise has been proven to help with depression. See where I am going? Find something that interests you and practice at it until you excel. You will be recognized for your efforts.

Let us know how you do. Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

A variety of alternative medicines have proven to be helpful in treating depression. A recent report from Great Britain emphasized that more physicians should encourage alternative treatments such as behavioral and self-help programs, supervised exercise programs, and watchful waiting before subscribing antidepressant medications for mild depression. Chocolate, coffee, sugar, and alcohol can negatively affect mood and should be avoided. Essential fatty acids may reduce depression and boost mood. Expressing thoughts and feelings in a journal is therapeutic. Aromatherapy, particularly citrus fragrance, has had a positive effect on depression. Psychotherapy or counseling is an integral component of treatment because it can find and treat the cause of the depression.
There is some evidence that acupuncture is a helpful treatment for depression too. One study found that patients who received acupuncture specific for depression were significantly less depressed than control patients who had either nonspecific acupuncture or no treatment.
St. John's wort is the most widely used. Many studies on the effectiveness of St. John's wort have been performed. One review of the studies determined that St. John's wort is superior to placebo and comparable to conventional antidepressants.

Answer 4

Talk to someone. Like suggested above, seek out a school counselor or a trusted teacher--that's what they're there for, believe it or not we teachers do more than teach.

Realize you're not alone, though. Find something that makes you smile. For me, a bouquet of flowers always made me smile and cheered me up enough to get through the days. $4 bouquets from WalMart and even hand picked "weeds" from my yard or the woods... flowers just brighten things up and life my spirits, maybe they'll help you, too. (May I suggest the sunflower?)

If you need someone to talk to--
http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ in case you feel suicial, call them and let them help you.
http://www.ifred.org/ iFred is the international depression resource. They have information and hotlines, too.

Just talk to someone. Go see a counselor at the school.

And remember, there is so much to live for in this world.

Answer 6

Don't be afraid or scared to ask for professional help. I did and it saved my life. I have felt like you. I know what you are feeling. It's painful and can be a horrible way to live.
I suggest that you seek professional medical advice. I get a ton of emails from people like you through my website http://www.attackanxiety.com

I hope this help you on your journey to wellness. Have faith and remember that you are here for a reason even if you have no clue just what that reason might be just now. If you want to be well you will be.

Answer 7

Antidepressant pills never helped me either. I feel for you. I've been through it, hon.

Take St. John's Wort and lots of vitamin B capsules for energy. If this doesn't work, go buy Gorse at a health food store. It is in liquid form. You take it through a dropper under the tongue.

You can do a search for it on the internet either through GORSE or Bach's flowers. It is a wonderful little miracle thingy. I took it when my mother was terminal, and it helped me sosososososo much!!!!!!!!! You can also buy it through the internet. You'll be shocked at the difference it makes!!!!! Trust me!!!!

Good luck to you!!!!!!

Answer 8

It sounds like you are dealing with a lot, maybe cut yourself some slack. Probably you are having a normal reaction to trauma and events, and having a harder time growing up then a lot of people. Maybe try to tell yourself that all of what you are going through now is to make you a stronger person for the future.

Answer 9

Take it from someone who knows, God did not put every child on this earth to be raised by the people who conceived him or her. You are a precious child of God put here by Him and He has his reasons for putting you in your situation. He does not want you with Him in Heaven just yet. He understands your pain, counts every tear on your face and knows His purpose for you. Rise above your sadness and do something to help yourself figure out what that purpose is. Try volunteering if you have time, get a job if you are old enough. Going to church may also help as long as you are surrounded by Godly people who care for you with His kind of Love. Talk to someone soon. Take care.

Answer 10

Depression is so terribly painful! I've had it full-scale! It's so terrible. I know how you feel. Please, give it some time and do NOT hesitate to talk to someone (I didn't, and it was a BIG mistake!) Can you talk to your auntie? If not than talk to a friend, if possible, or a teacher, or perhaps someone else. It's so hard, but it WILL get better. You are in my prayers!

Answer 11

Talk to your school consular for starters and tell her what you said here. The other thing to try is to do volunteer work and think about helping other people (This is not meant as something mean, but when you help someone else you feel good about yourself).
