hey ABCD

You shouldn't be feeling that way, even though you're right that a lot of teens get depressed and yes, suicidal. You are very depressed, so don't be too hard on yourself. Not much of what you're doing and saying is really you. I would suggest working on some positive ways to make you happier, if not happy. Try writing, drawing, reading, exercise, coloring. Try to join some new groups, but don't make it a responsibility. You should just go to socialize and have fun. Try the debate team, or track or something at school. Outside of school, you could ask for some guitar lessons, horseback riding, or just go bicycling. I'm sorry that you don't want any more advice about a therapist but he or she will make more sense than me, and hopefully you'll get a good one. Don't be afraid to try new therapists, if the first one doesn't work out how you would like. good luck!!

Yea. I used to be like that during junior top, in which ppl might make a laugh of me at all times. Because of being ridiculed, I had ideas of suicide, I used to be chopping, and nearly received admitted to the clinic. I have a diagnoses of bipolar despair, and OCD. I been taking antidepressants seeing that I used to be 14 to support this hindrance, I'm now 27. I might utterly realise if any individual used to be depressed over that intent they've no help round them.

Antidepressants are often prescribed to people suffering from depressive illness. Depressive illness is caused by a decrease of certain chemicals or neurotransmitters in the brain that are responsible for mood. Antidepressants stimulate chemical changes that increase the levels of these neurotransmitters. Three main neurotransmitters associated with mood are serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. Different antidepressant medications affect one or more of these neurotransmitters.

Neurotransmitters released from nerve cells in the brain only have a short time to relay their message to another cell before enzymes destroy them or they are taken back up by the cell. This process is referred to as reuptake. Once reuptake occurs, the neurotransmitter ceases to have any affect on the brain.

In people suffering from depressive illness fewer of these neurotransmitters are being produced. Therefore antidepressant medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) delay the reuptake of one of these neurotransmitters, serotonin, thus raising levels in the brain. With more natural levels of serotonin in the brain, mood is elevated from the depressed state to a more normal state of mind. SSRIs are very popular because they seem to have the least side-effects among antidepressants. Additionally, side-effects tend to be mild to moderate and are transitory, usually disappearing after 1-3 weeks. Some brand names of SSRIs are Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil and Lexapro.

and, even though you said you don't want to see a therapist, it would do a lot of good. The best approach to clinical depression is a biopsychosocial approach.

But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to like... be labeled a depressed mental patient. A good step would be talking more about your depression with someone who's a good listener.

So in conclusion.

1) Tell your parents you want to visit a psychiatrist (someone who can prescribe medical treatments of psychological problems like depression)

2) Start talking to someone.

3) Eat healthy foods and exercise. It's ridiculous how much this piece of advice is overlooked.

Hope that helped.

Okay. I know what you're going through, I have been there myself. So try getting a friend *who listens* and just explain how you feel. sometimes talking it out with a close friend helps a bit. Also try to block out any negative thoughts about yourself, and replace them with positive ones. By the way when you commit suicide it effects people badly. For example my friend had her best friend kill herself and then my friend wanted to. So basically if you did you would be hurting the ones who care about you. also try listening to "happier" music, somehow it helps. see when i had the same problem as you i started listening to depressing music, and that didn't help at all. So whatever you do don't do it please. things will get better soon. Well I hope this helped you. :"D

You sound exactly like me, I did attempt suicide when I was 13, it turns out I am bipolar. Good news is there is help for it. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary situation.

Did you leave the Caps Lock key on? Using all caps can be perceived as shouting..

That was my last joke. Let's see if you would fall for it.

From what little I saw, you were golden.

That but is very questionable.
