A few months ago i came close to dying and for 2 complete hours i thought i was going to die any minute...so during that traumatic incident i felt completely lonely as if everybody only knew my name but didnt know the real me at all...it was all too painful eventhough i didnt actually die...and from then on i have become paranoid(i dunno how this happened) and depressed...and now whenever i watch someone die on tv or watch a sad movie i become COMPLETELY depressed...i feel like crying and the world becomes a cold dark place...
my family and friends rejected me during the lowest point of my life...so im not close to anyone and i keep everything bottled up...as a result i have fear of abandonmet, trust issues...etc
so what can u figure out from what ive said here? i badly need ur help...im still in high school by the way.

How did you almost die? maybe you were having an anxiety attack??? My advice would be go to a psychiatrist and get on medication and then get counseling for the other issues and just know this, you are not alone and this will not last forever and remember, the memories fade and this too shall pass. Get to know the Lord and trust in him that he will do you no wrong. Join a church with youth groups that do things together. Please just know that time heals and this will too.
Good Luck to you.

The reason for the depression may be the fear of dying or fear of being completely alone. You need to talk to someone, because keeping it in is harmful to you. A school counsellor would be the logical person to guide you, or your pastor. Another thing that helps is to put your feelings on paper and then burn it. Write a letter to someone and say exactly whatever comes to mind, and then destroy it. (don't just throw it away) Helps to get things out of your system a little, and may give you insight into the problem.
I read yesterday that depression is anger turned inward. Could it be you were angry at yourself for not being able to control the bad situation? Obviously you would not have put yourself in that situation on purpose, so it could not have been your fault, right? Is there something you could be mad at yourself for, without realizing it?

PTSD post tramatic stress disorder, this happens sometimes after a something happens in our lives.
You are connecting to those people on the TV and everytime you see someone die you feel like you are dying all over again.
I am not a Dr, you need to go see one as soon as possible.

Don't watch TV. Sell it. Use the money to buy a bike and take a ride.
