Answer 1

Talking about it and letting it out always makes you feel better. Maybe you should try to talk to your parents or whoever youre angry with.

Answer 2

Believe it or not, this is something all teenagers go through to some degree.

It sounds like you are an introvert. That means you are probably creative and smart, but you just don't do well with interpersonal stuff. I am the same way, and I felt the way you do when I was in my late teens.

The thing that helped me was focusing my energy. I located my talent, and I used it to channel my energies in a creative way. My creativity was writing and drawing.

I also sought out others who were like me, and we helped eachother through that difficult part of our lives. All of us are well adjusted adults now.

For some reason I also feel like you might be hampering your therapy because you think it is lame. Take a more active role in your therapy, and keep an open mind.

Finally, exercise will do the most to get rid of your depression. I had lifelong depression until I worked out 30 minutes a day. Since then, no depression. I am happy most of the time. It's been 10 years now.

Good luck.

I kind of can relate to what you're going through. Depression is not a good thing, its than what people think it is. And if you're like me when I was depressed you may have had some thoughts that scared you. Its hard, I dont know what to tell you. The only way I got through my depression was with God. Maybe you dont have the same faith. If not I suggest people who are gonna be there for you whenever you need them. Someone you can hold accountable. As hard as it may be try talking to your mom or dad, or a sibling or a best friend you can trust. Let them know how you feel and why you feel this way. Its hard to do but its not worse then being depressed all the time. See if you can get some kind of medication for depression. I wish we had the answer to your problem but the truth is only you do. You can choose to stay negative or you can actually do something for yourself. Go for a walk, or a drive. Just get out of your house, and get some sun on your face. ;)

Answer 4

The first thing you need to think about is how other people are feeling. Here's the thing, it's almost normal for teenagers to feel the way you do - you haven't faced the "real world" on your your own yet....once you do, you will realize that all those happy smiley people you see and think are living perfect lives really are not. I could tell you things that have happened to me that would freak you out totally but ya know, the world isn't fair and I've also learned the world is not about ME -- I'm very sorry you're feeling as low as you are and to be honest, if you don't get the right counselor, you're right - it won't work. BUT DO THIS when you get the new counselor - LISTEN TO HIM/HER. Don't shut out what they say to you. There are there to help you "deal" with life and how to deal with what life throws at you in a healthy way. But you also have to be extremely truthful with them. If you hold back anything, it won't work. They aren't there to "fix" you problems - just to help you "deal with them in a healthy way" --EVERYONE has problems. I do with the best for you. Hang in there.

Answer 5

I know how this feels but you have to want to feel better in order for therapy to help you. Go in with a open mind and talk that's the only way your going to feel better. Sometimes it helps me to draw or take pictures of things. If you have animals go take them on a walk or play with them. You really should find someone to talk.Hope you start to get out of this depression fast, don't let it control you, depression eats at your soul and remember everyone is a little depressed around the holidays so your not alone.
Take care.

Answer 6

Im going through the same thing. i was recently diagnosed with 3 chronic diseases and i have blood loss and internal bleeding. a few weeks ago, and theirs a chance ill die soon or at least be in the hospital over christmas. i only have 1 friend who's stuck with me through this, and my best friend who's always been my shoulder to cry on betrayed me so i feel really alone. i have to get a bunch of tests done like blood tests and x rays, and theyre's so many side effects and stuff, and i have to get surgery done and all that stuff, and its so hard. it feels like theirs not even time to think anymore. my mom has me talking to a social worker and i guess i realized that even though im scared about whats going on, i have to forget about it. its REALLY hard, i know, but the other thing is to take up a hobby like crotcheting or something and listen to music or something or whatever relaxes you, and just forget about everything and clear your mind.
and please remember that you're not alone, a lot of people r feeling depressed too. altho everyone's depression is different, at least im still here for u, and no matter what, i know u can get through this!!

Answer 7

Wow, i often feel like that, yes i am a teenager too. I know i look okay, i kinda look like my avatar as a matter afact, So if its about looks which i hope not, dont worry.. No one really looks at the outside if they know you on the inside! So juss go and be with your parents and friends, i have been through a very good program that taught me to do that and you will be feeling like the same old you. I done it the first day back at school, i went to a basketball game with friends, i went to the mall afterwords i went home and felt great! I felt as if my needs and wants accomplished the biggest thing in my book.

Email me, your are more then welcome.. i would really like to help you with this! :)

Answer 8

I was the same way. I forced myself to learn different hobbies, to get me interested in life again, and to open up my horrizons. I got a guitar and taught myself, for example. I got a dog. I started horseback riding.... the list goes on. When you learn new things, it opens you up to people that share the same interests. You will be complimented in the process for the effort you put in and the progress you make by the people around you. It makes you feel good. You are pleasing others, but most of all you are pleasing yourself. I really hope you can help yourself. I know that it is one of the worste feelings there is. But, I am proof that you CAN come out of it. Good Luck and hang in there

Answer 9

i basically have the same situation. like exactly the same. therapy really isnt going to help much. they'll just gve you some excercises that might calm you donw or make you feel better for a minute but you really need is prayer & some antidepressants. or if you dont like religion or medicine read the chicken soup books & listen to lots of music & find some friends to hand out w/

Answer 10

I always feel down when my enviorment is drab, I almost always feel better if i go to chapters and sip a nice starbucks tea well shopping. Do something fun.
Also, venting on freinds about your life sends good endorphins (happy hormones) to your brain, so dial someone up and talk your head off :)

Answer 11

this is life jennifer. all teenangers go threw this. have you had a recnet break up? are your parents abusive?? make sure you tell the councellor everything. there is no point holding anything back. and remember that a relationship of trust between you and your councellor is important but doesnt happen over night.
