I guess my questions are A) How can I deal with my depression? I see a therapist and I'm supposed to be put on medication "soon" but that's what I've been told now for almostfour months and Im starting to think its not even worth it anymore. B) I'm 15 years old and I weigh 144 pounds. Do I need to lose weight? And how can I lose it? I hate sitting down because my legs look huge, I walk around with my stomach pulled in even though it gives me stomach aches, and I have dimples and strech marks on my thighs/butt. Is this wrong for someone whos only 15? And C) Do I need to consider anger management or somethign like that? I get angry about the littlest things. My brother will call me a name and I'll get so angry I hit him on the arms or back.
Im so sick of the kind of person I am that I'm starting to reconsider suicide. Should I just stop putting myself through this or find even more help?

144 pounds is not that much, but it also depends on how tall you are. I'm pretty sure you can't be called fat. Just eat more fruits and vegetables, and you'll be fine. Yes, it is normal to have stretch marks because you are growing and will continue to grow for a couple more years. It's normal to fight with your brother, at least a little, and he probably deserves a smack every now and then. My sister used to be very angry probably because people didn't understand her. Ignore the people who are mean to you or cause you to get angry. They probably have issues of their own and in a few years will feel bad about how they treated people. You could try getting a pen pal. They don't know you so they can't judge you. Also, find something you're interested in and focus on that. Reading is good- it let's you escape from reality for a while, and the more you read the smarter you will be. You should read "A Child Called It" and "The Lost Boy" by Dave Pelzer. They will show you that others out there have it worse than you, and no matter how bad it is, there is always hope. Things will get better.

I am so sorry to hear you are feeling this way. I know all to well how it feels. I had a lot of problems when I was that age too but I never got the help and I wish I did. Finally about 7 years ago I did and I found out I was Bipolar. Mine too all started with depression and fits of anger. I would DEFINITELY ASAP tell your therapist that you are having these problems and the thoughts of suicide. This is nothing to mess around with and he/she should do something to help you. So please, call them as soon as possible. As for your weight, you are who you are and you should be proud of that but if you feel like you need to lose some weight then try things like eating right and exercise regularly. Exercise can also help with the depression. But I see it as you are so depressed/miserable that you are just unhappy with everything which is again something you should tell your doctor. If you are seeing just a general therapist who can not prescribe medication then maybe you should ask your Mom to help you find a psychiatrist. I know the one I see every few months is a life saver. Again I am really sorry to hear you have to go through this hun, but please don't do anything like try suicide, get some more help. I hope this helps you.

I know that everyone says it but definitely get involved doing something, realize that all teenagers go through this, and know that it will get better. And if I were you I would try to do it with out the drugs, because if you can't solve your problems now with out the drugs, then more than likely you will need drugs all of your life, just so that you can deal with it.
Try joining an activity, notice I didn't say sport, anything were you are around people, preferably of all ages. Try craft classes, or scrape booking, even a walking group. Then open up and make some friends, of all ages, and as you do ask them how they are/did cope with what you are going through.
As far as hitting your brother, you need to stop and the sooner the better. Instead of hitting him do something else, like stick out your tongue. I know it doesn't sound mature, but it might make you feel better with out hurting him. Take it from me, a person who beat the living daylights out of her little sister, if you want a relationship with him later on, don't hit him now.
I hope this helps, and instead of taking the easy way out by committing suicide, fight and find a way to make things better. Don't worry you will do fine.

Just start working out. Sadly, you will probably always feel a certain level of depression, but don't think of suicide. It's not worth it. When you feel like it, just go to the gym, get into great shape, and flaunt it. That's what I do, and it works. Find someone that loves you, and will treat you right. If you need to talk, email me, and I'll give you my number.

There's not a thing wrong with you that isn't wrong with all 15 year olds. You think you're depressed, you think you're fat, you don't think you look good, and you get pissed off easily. Welcome to puberty and this too, will pass. Suicide is for suckers--if you ever let it enter your mind, see a shrink immediately because although they're full of ****, they can possibly help you with that. But except for the thoughts of suicide, you're completely normal. Get outside, move around, and stop thinking so much.

Hello! I can relate to what you are going through.
My dad use to yell at me that I was fat and ugly
when I was growing up. He didn't want me to be fat.
He left me emotionally scarred. I thought I was a nothing. Then I met a good friend who started to
give me compliments. She helped me a lot. Now I like myself. I am still heavy and I have many
health concerns. You are suffering from low
self esteem. The first step to recovery is the
one you have taken. You have admitted you have a
concern about yourself. Now say something nice about yourself. I know how hard that is to do.
Get with a counselor.

Don't go to psychologists. Psychologists are evil people, and they don't believe in God. In fact, my father sent me to a psychologist because I told him I wanted to write a book on the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven and spent a lot of time reading my bible. My psychiatrist diagnosed me with schizophrenia. You have to learn not to expect too much from people. Surround yourslef with 1 or 2 positive people, and forget everybody else. Life is hard for everyone.
