I have gone through depression also.I know you feel like your in a dark hole and you can't get out.I know that you only think negative thoughts.I know how you only want to sleep and not take care of yourself.This is all normal for depression.There is
a light at the end of the tunnel but right now you feel like you'll
never see it and that you'll always be like this.You will get better eventually .I know right now that you don't feel like doing anything and feel no joy.but you must hang in there.The way I got through it was I told myself I must just go through the
motions of life whether I feel like it or not.Just force yourself
to get up in the morning,take a shower,eat,go to work or
whatever you do each day.Just force yourself to go about
everyday life no matter how you feel and you will get better but
just remember it may take awhile to feel better.I went through
a few years of feeling this way and finally felt better.It will
get better for you and hopefully it won't take as long for you as it did me just go through the motions of life like I said and
I doubt your going to die at 22,thats just a negative thought
that comes from being depressed.I hope this helps you.Just
remember that your not alone in depression there's more
than you realize that suffer from this same thing.There are 5
kids in my immediate family and 4 of us have gone through
this depression at some point in our lives.Also you will find that some people around you will not understand what you
are going through if they haven't gone through it themselves.
They may feel that you can just get out of it if you just do
things that you enjoy and they can't understand how the joy
in life can just dissapear but it happens because of a
chemical imbalance in the brain and its not your fault that
you can't quickly change that by doing something fun when
nothing is fun.right now.Keep going through the motions of life
because thats just about all you can do right now and its ok.
God bless,J.P.

I've never been in depression, but I had a period in my life where I was really depressed. I used to doubt myself all the time and put myself down. I didn't know why I was on Earth. I used to wonder what difference it would make if I wasn't here. Maybe I was in depression, but I got support and everything from my friends which were all very helpful. I'm really sorry about your brother.....It must have been difficult for you, and it probably still is. My hobby is to read - if I go without reading, I go crazy. The only time I get to forget about everything (and I mean everything) is when I'm reading. It's like I'm taken to a totally different world, and there, I can feel the characters. It's really great, and if reading's one of your hobbies, maybe you should try reading? I like to jog, so I used to run around the park at least every other day. Well I stopped doing that once my homework load got heavy and stuff....But I plan to start running again. That's another time I get to forget about everything. I have to concentrate on running, or else I start breathing crazy and start to sprint.
I'm really sorry about your condition.....I don't know what I can do, (I'm only 13....) but I hope you know that there are people in the world who care about you. (Me! Me!)

Go check your heart. Make a Doctors appointment. Depression can make you feel this way.. or having heart problems might have the same effect..sleepy n all.. check your self.
There is no other way to live life, but as you choose to live it. So why not live it happy? why choose to drown your self in sorrow? No matter what you choose as positive choice.. your mother will no longer worry. Don't chose to take your own life because.. that wont only worry her.. she'd be left alone in life.. with allot of questions.. one of them.. blaming her self and questioning where did she go wrong.

I hear you. I use to sleep all day 10-16 hrs and still do alot. sleeping takes me to another world where i can rest and not stress out. mental illness of any type takes away alot of people's energy and make them achieve less than they can. it steals a person't time, and energy. i feel that sleeping was the only way to heal and not do something stupid i would regrett and i was right. al least for me i needed the rest emotionally and am getting better. it takes forever. you can go to therapy which is very expensive or you can learn all you can and help yourself.
