How do I get out of this depression?

[Anonymous]

i was a happy kid growing up, i didn't care about anything everything was fun and i always had a good time with my parents, but now im 17 and i have so much work to do its been making me think, this thought always goes through my mind, this is it im an adult soon ill move out and have too much work and not enough time to laugh with my parents and brother anymore. then i think about how good life was when i was 7 and how much i time has changed it and if i think its bad now hows the future gonna be? i think of my life going by, too much work for family then my parents die and i will be lost and confused without their support and love then me and my bro will be lonely until he dies then i will be all alone and i will think about when i was 7 and weep how did i get here from there? then i will die and my life and my family will all be dust and a story... i just wanna be 7 again.

its very complex.

you have to almost do things that make you turely happy while carry extra weight.

then your voice inside will change and these will become habits and from these habits your brain rewires itself also changing your emotions which changes your hormones etc. that make up the depression.

you gotta to things that make you happy and sustain it to change your brains wiring. thought patterns to be exact.

read, be around supportive smart and good people, for me, educating myself on everything including myself was key...

I think a lot of pressure is on you at this age. I'm guessing you're going to graduate soon? At 17 you're at that time where you have to start thinking about what you're going to do in the world. It changes, believe me. It gets better. Try to focus on one aspect at a time so it's not so overwhelming. Most kids your age are feeling unsure as well. If your depression ( as in it's truly depression and not just feeling bummed out ) gets to a point where it interferes with your life consider finding a therapist to talk to.

Day by day, trust me, I've been depressed at 17 and it wasn't fun, but please use people in your life as support and you will get better. Meditate, think about yourself and you'll see how everything turns around. :)
