My doctor says I'm high risk for getting depression also. Does anyone have any ideas to calm down, and stop being so worried and anxious all the time?

The nervous breakdown was because I guess I was worried all the time, and I just sorta snapped...btw

Umm, maybe a diet change and a gym membership so you can workout. As for the diet, check out Jayrobb.com and click on " The Fat Burning Diet." Don't let the name of the diet fool you it's a good diet.

Hey, don't worry, you aren't alone. I'm 16 and last year was diagnosed for depression. Don't listen to the adults who say "oh, you are just a kid, you can't have that. It just means you're a teenager." WRONG. They are the ones who have no idea how you feel so ignore them. At first, my parents wouldn't believe me but I finally convinced them that I needed to see a doctor. Listen, you should definatly keep having regular visits to your doctor. You could have just been in a down period then and it all poured out or it could be the beginning of something more serious. It is better to be safe than sorry, trust me. I hope that you start feeling better. I did once I was put on zoloft. As for the calming down part? Pick a REALLY trusted friend and set up a time every night to talk on the phone. It will give you something to look forward to in the day and it will let you let out all of the problems you had during the day. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!

Hey girl...it's ok I had a nervous breakdown when I was 15. They put me on medicine though and it made life easy. You must talk, talk, talk... tell anyone who will listen how you are feeling, get it off your chest. Holding it makes it worse.. Are you seeing a therapist? Its ok to do that, noone but your family needs to know and they work wonders. Maybe you will need some medicine...maybe. If you can't make it work talk with your doctor. Remeber to take one thing at a time, and remember you can't do it all or fix it all...if you were meant to that God would have given you a wand. Start a journal..great stuff. Even do one on your computer...show your doctor your feelings. They love that stuff. Find a talent or pastime. Singing, painting, needlework,spend time with friend. Surround your self with things that make you feel calm and avoid the pressure situations for now. Teen years are tough enough with out extra pressures. Boys are great, but sometimes me time is better, because then you set yourself up with "doe he like me or not" that will stress ya out. Find yourself before you go looking for others and breathe.....slowly in and out. Good luck!!!

well i suffer from depression and i have had breakdowns. i would cry and i was always thinkin of bad things like death and what if there is no god. it hleps during breakdowns to grab a glass of water and sip on it, also to read and try to distract yourself from the bad thoughts. also when ur thinkin the thoughts picture a big read stop sign and just try to change to something else, also i am on an anti depressant and it has been helpin me. like omnthe tv though if u have thoughts of suicide immedietly consult ur doctor.

I am also a teenager and I have been having breakdowns since I was 13. I found that listening to calm music, like rainstorms and celtic music works good. I also use meditation for calming myself down when I need it.

I'm a teen and I have some stressful moments too.
Maybe you could try to just sit down and have some quiet time to yourself. Don't think about anything that worries you but have some relaxing time.
Try doing something you love to do also to keep your mind off of things.
Hope this helps!

You want to get a diagnosis...like anxiety disorder or whatever. The combination of medication and counseling works better than either one alone. Help is out there.

Bonjour Lillie!
Je suis désolé de l'entendre. Il est très naturel de se sentir déprimé de temps en temps, mais pas tout le temps. Qu'est-ce qui vous fait sembler être inquiété tout le temps ? J'espère que tout est bien à votre maison. Essayez juste de sortir plus, communiquer avec la nature plus. Pour que vous aident à atténuer votre anxiété. J'espère que tout s'entraînera pour vous à la fin.
Je vous parlerai de nouveau.
Faites attention!
