Depression?

Question

Almost a year ago, I feel into a suicidal depression. I finally started to get out of it in October/November wen i meet my current boyfriend. I finally got some therapy in October and went only twice. She said i was depressed... But then i started feeling alot better and starting to sleep well again and not hurting myself, I stoped drinking.. All my symptoms started to disapear. She dropped me a few months ago becuase i wasnt coming often enough.. The problem now is im starting to get these problems again, Cant sleep, always tired, not motivated, feeling suicidal, always sad... My boyfriend doesnt believe me, hes never there for me and i mean NEVER,... what do i do......
I seem to get depressed over the summer becuase i loose contact with lots of my friends and im left alone to thing about all my thoughts.. But its become suicidal the past year in the summer..
Im only 15 almost 16 btw.

I cant open up to therapist easily... its really heard, im afraid they will still tell my parents. Do all therapists want u to figure out ur problems urself?? cus my last one said she couldnt help me till i found a solutoion myself

Answer 1

Hi there,

You are a loveable person. I can tell. The fact that you became depressed at a particular period was not your fault.
Persons predisposed to depression are generally negative in their orientation to situations and lower than average in self-esteem. It is suspected that there is a heriditary/genetic component to this illness/disorder and it is not normal at least clinical depression is 'not' normal. Having had depression myself (its' now gone) thank God I 've realized that you probably will not get over it without help/support both medical and affialial (i.e. family and close friends). You need to see that it is a nervous system disorder which can be corrected by 'cognitive therapy' including boosting your self-esteem, dealing with and overcoming negative thought patterns and generally loving and accepting yourself.

Generally medication (drug therapy) is needed because in most cases the production of seratonin and dopamine is compromised (generally not at normal levels). These are feel good chemicals normally produced and synthesized in
the brain. It took me five years of 'consistent' treatment and therapy to recover from depression. Once it hits usually in the period between 19-29 a relapse is very likely without treatment. So please follow your doctors advice whomever that person is and educate yourself.

Secondly, no boyfriend or activity is going to make you feel well if you're sick and trust me depression was the first symptom I displayed after a broken relationship and because it remained undiagnosed and untreated for several years I spiralled virtually into a nervous breakdown of some kind. So take your situation seriously. I suspect that your parents need to know of your condition and that you may very likely not have a realistic view of your situation. You don't need a boyfriend now especially an unsupportive one, you need to get well or your future will remain in jepordy and you will continue to feel terrible.

Good luck. And if you find it helpful talk to a local minister, psychologist or therapist. I hope you have medical insurance, or will get some quickly. I am a psychologist and recovered depressive who is living a normal life, am married and have a bright future, but for now I remain on medication. It is essentaiI to my feeling good. At least one of the four I take I may be addicted to but that for me is a small price to pay. I have a strict dosage regime. I've almost have never missed taking them. Although I no longer see my psychiatrist I still get medical prescritions and advice. You health is paramount.

I am also a christian and have received spirtual and some emotional support from my church 'friends'. Nothing is too hard for God. Best of luck and get help. It is easily available.

It's alright hunnie to feel depressed. I believe every teen goes through it. You might love your boyfriend, but since he is never there for you, you should just move on, he seems to be bringing you down. There are always people around you can talk to.

Most young girls start to feel depressed around this age because of their hormones become imbalanced. What you need to do is start eating fruit in the morning, it will help with the hormones. Next you need to get out there and have a good time. Pick up a hobby, start exercising. Most people become depressed because they don't know what to do with themselves.

Your best medicine is yourself. If you need to talk about anything you can MSG me on here. And we can keep in contact. I hope you are feeling better

Answer 3

you should have never stopped going to your coucellor. even if you are feeling better they can still help you talk out things so that it doesnt come back. depression never really goes away and the fact that you are even thinking about suicide means that you need someone to talk to. you need to tell your family what you have been feeling and have them get you into another councellor and please do it soon. if the boyfriend isnt going to take you seriously that will not help you in your time of recovery so take what he says with a grain of salt or just move on. find a new one she is wrong they should be helping not blaming

Answer 5

It is very important that you tell someone you trust about this. Your not crazy or nothing. You would be suprised how many people deal with the same thing your going through. Try to talk to the dr you spoke with befor. If not then find someone else but look for help. Things will get better...Didnt they before?

Answer 6

Go to another doctor. Also, pursue things you like to do, even if you don't feel like doing them. Try to keep your mind off of suicidal thoughts. No one understands depression unless they've had it. Your boyfriend doesn't understand and might try to pretend it doesn't exist because he doesn't want to have to face that you are sick. Depression is an illness. Take care of yourself, you can get better.

Answer 7

Get a project to work on and make new friends. I find that I am the most happy when I'm with my friends, but when I can't be around them I like to work on things to be productive and to keep myself busy and not all lousy and mopey.
Maybe you could draw or get a job or find someone that needs help with something.

You should definetly think about going back into therapy. Keep your head up, you are young and things are going to get better for you. What do you enjoy doing? Find something that you enjoy doing that makes you happy.
