Depression, help?

[Anonymous]

I really don't know what to do anymore! Every day I'm getting more and more depressed!!! It's affecting my relationships with my friends, dad and boyfriend, its affecting my learning at college. I just don't want to exist anymore! I hate life! I've been to the doctors and counsellors so many times and they jack shit! Doctors refuse to prescribed me medication! I really can't handle things anymore! I don't know what to do. Help!

reflect. this sounds cliche but get a blog or a diary and write down what you are going through daily or however often and then also include your honest feelings. writing makes your mind clear of what emotions you are feeling inside. if you are uncomfortable on sharing what you are going through, write them down -- only you can read/judge them. after writing them down, think back, is it worth it to feel that negative feeling? think back, what can be done to make tomorrow a better day? think back, how are you going to handle your emotions?

tasting that tiny bit of your story, and knowing you have the courage to go for consultations and even ask from the internet shows how strong you are. this is not the end. you have been surviving, do not give up now. :) x

How many psychologists have you been to exactly? I find it hard to believe that so many therapists couldn't do their job or cross-reference you to a psychiatrist. Are you going to the right places? Also, a normal doctor can't prescribe you anti-depressants. It needs to be done by a psychiatrist.

Really? A lot of my friends have been prescribed them bu the doctors? And I've been to the normal school counsellors then I got referred to different ones then I got referred to CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) and I was also going to counselling when I was living with my mum...

Doctors aren't supposed to be able to prescribe you anti depressants. Or maybe it works differently in your country. But here you need a psychiatrist. Go see someone outside of school. Maybe they are not properly trained to help you. But it sounds like you need a proper psychologist and not just a cousellor.

doctors only try to prescribe medication in rare cases, they clearly think you have the ability to get better and only you can do that with support from loved ones

Smoke some weed or drink like every fucking body else! You think you're special or something ?

[Asker]

Why the fuck do you think that I would think I'm special because I'm going through depression. And I'm underage and I'm not a drug addict like you.

I didn't see your age😔 Oops. Sorryyy!!! 😖

[Asker]

... sorry I had a miny rage at you. Really bad mood as you can see...

[Opinion Owner]

It's ok. These feelings are normal for your age range though. I swear your feelings will level out at a certain point and you will look back and be like wth lol?

[Asker]

Hopefully... but it's getting to the sort of point when the thought of jumping in front of a car is rather appealing...

[Opinion Owner]

Noo! I swear it gets better!

[Asker]

Yeah... Well soon I will be surrounded by cats so that better make me feel a little less worse...

[Opinion Owner]

[Asker]

[Opinion Owner]

[Asker]

Oh why can't you? And if you ever decided to take it in you really have to make sure its not some poor old ladies cat who likes to wander haha

[Opinion Owner]

Well it looks very healthy so I thought it must have a home plus I just can't

[Asker]

Yeah. Well come over to Eketahuna when we are swarmed with homeless kitty kats!

[Opinion Owner]

[Asker]

Haha we already have too many cats. There's probably at least ten cats lurking around the shops somewhere

[Asker]

Too many for us to take

[Ahrixxa]
