Ok so I'm getting stressed over school work, my friends, and work. Last year was so easy for me and this year we have 7 periods and school and I'm taking an unbelievable course load. I think that I so stressed that I'm starting to become depressed. I feel that my friends have turned on me and that people just don't listen at me or ignore me. I feel annoyed to people and I don't know what's wrong. I feel out of place all the time. I know I should probably see a counsler but I was just wondering if there is something else that someone had advice about to help me with my problem.

You poor thing. High school can be so tough and most of us wouldn't go back to that time for anythng! When we are under incredible stress, the sorts of things you are describing feeling, are not unusual. Intense frustration can seriously affect us emotionally. If you feel your friends have turned on you, you may be right...but in my opinion, a real friend would not do this to you, instead they would offer you support to get you through your tough year. Unless any of them are your best friends, or you feel you owe them something, I'd just forget about them & try to get on with your year...they don't sound to me like they are worth your energy. When things get very stressful for me, I try to picture myself in a plane, looking down, and seeing how small the little part of the world that is concerning me really is, and how I can easily remove myself from it. Example, you can get rid of those so called "friends"....they are only a few small people in the world and real friends would be more supportive of you through this....and look on the bright side, it's better you found out now what sort of friends they are, than after you have invested/wasted more time in the friendships....the sorts of friends you are talking about don't deserve to call you their friend...a true friend would be there for you. I would guess that almost all of us have been seriously let down by friends in teh past, and yes, it can really hurt. And true friends aren't easy to find in this world, so if/when you find one, do all you can to maintain the relationship. I would try to focus on getting through your course load rather than worrying about what others are thinking about you (I know that it's easier said than done, but you CAN do it!). Once you get through that, you'll have time to find new friends, the real kind! The annoyance you feel with people is also probably stress related. Your other option is to drop one of your courses? And don't worry, we have all felt the way you do at some time or another...you will get through it. If you don't have your "friends" to talk to, a counsellor might be a good idea. A good one can also help you better deal with the stress you are under. Hang in there, things will definitely get better.

It sounds like you are overwhelmed with life and yes that can lead to depression. See a counselor and talk about what is bothering you. Sometimes getting your feelings off your chest is all you need and sometimes you might need medication to feel better. Either way you need to see someone, either your physician or a counselor. In the meantime, sit down and take some time to pamper yourself and do something you enjoy. Don't worry about other people, the only person you have control over is yourself. Take care and hang in there.

Sounds like you need to stop being so serious and have some fun. I know how it is. I too go through the same things. I think going to a doctor and getting something to help stress would be better than going to a counselor. They always seem to make you feel like its your fault when it's not. Good Luck hope you feel better.

I'm a Christian. I strongly believe that we struggle in spiritual battle everyday. You will have good times as well as bad times in your life, keep living and see. The key is to adjust yourself to every situation you might be in for the moment. There isn't anything wrong with you, things just happen. Use this time to find the inner you. Do things that makes you feel good about yourself and keep moving forward. Things will get better for you, wait and see. I have a movie for you to watch. Look at it each time you feel down and remember you are special and unique in your own way, no one can replace you. Take care of yourself and you dear are worth the best life has to offer. Hang in there things will get better. www.mayyoubeblessedmovie.com I'll be praying for you.

It sounds like you are a fairly young person, high school most likely. I would suggest you find a form of exercise that you like and start a routine. I have also found a natural supplement that really helps me cope with stress that is called Rhodiola Rosea. I use the Gaia Herbs and you can get it in a natural foods store.

Are you a guy or a girl? girls get more stressed bout things.....but guys get it too. I'm a guy, I've got stressed and depressed sometimes....sometimes even things to do with school and friends. But sometimes I find a good way out of this......I do the things I like the most, things that I desire to get rid of the stress.....example I play my PS2, watch wrestling, listen to my fav music and other stuff......it may sound silly that these things have got nothing to do with stress and depression....but it works for me.....try it out yourself....hope it helps....

You should definitely consult your doctor. He/she can suggest some breathing exercises to try to calm you down when you feel stressed or maybe some medication to help balance you out.

Reduce your stress, learn to let go of negative feelings and to find strategies to manage situations that lead to stress.

sometimes a helpful ear is all you need. I can give you basic advice (keep a schedule, get enough sleep, eat healthy, make time for you...) but i would need more information to give you something more substantial. You can always drop me a line. (links in my profile) Wish i could help more.
Much love,
Genevive
