im a 15 an iv battled with depression since i was 12 years old after i got sexually assaulted by my mums ex boyfriend. i also suffer from anorexia but its not that i need the help with. for weeks i can be fine an then il hit rock bottom an nothing helps to pick me back up again, but this time iv never been down as long as i have been done, its been since febuary i can't find away to feel better. i see a support worker, a phsychiartrist and a sexual abuse team that work with young girls but nothings helping infact it makes me even more low talking about it. but since febuary the depressions got worse an iv even had anti-depressants but they don't work. i just feel completely useful and dont even know why im still here some days i wonder whats stopping me from killing myself but i can't actually face doing yet in 2008 between june and october i was in hospital 9 times getting my stomach pumped and since all my attempts failed i moved on to self harm and it made me feel better but now it doesnt. i just feel like im losing it and that one day i will break down completely, each day theres always something or some-one putting me down and it makes me 10times worse, i cry myself to sleep every night just wishing il not wake up so all the pain goes away. i know this sounds daft and proberly crazy but my inner voice or what ever you call it just wont shut up Mad if some one puts me down it agrees if you know what i mean ? does every one go through this with depression or is it just me? im no confussed i just want it to shut up but even though im in control of it i cant get it to. an its making me feel even more worse and cause of it i get splitting sore headaches. i just want advice, is this normal for depression ? or am i going insane? someone help.

i've been in battle with depression ever since i was 14 years old and i am 33 years old now. i had to live with physical and mental abuse by my father and that was the grass root of my depression.
when your depressed, your thoughts are negative, so that voice in your head basically goes with the depression. i now force myself to think positive, even if i have a bad thought, i always turn it around.
my faith gotten me thought the most hard times in my life.
i m surprised that you are on antidepressants and see a therapist and you still feel bad.
did you know you can ask your doctor can she up your dosage or change the prescription all together to something that may work better for you. for example i was on prozac and i didnt like it.
were you diagnosed with PTSD or major depression?

thanks. but its just my depressions never been as bad as this, like the little voice wont shut up its constantly saying just end your life now youv nothing to live for an i believe it. well the antidtdressants did help at first but they caused me to have bad flash backs and nighmares. and with me battling with an eatting disorder they were making me feel ill, and iv been on prozac but it never helped. an i got diagnosed with major depression as it was affecting my sleep, my school work and i was taking different mood swings with it like one minute i was fine next i was feeling angry then id just break down an cry and thats what its like that every night. but the urges and voices are getting stronger theres been times iv just grabbed a knife an before i could stop myself i had cut myself and im having lots of suicidal thoughts i try an fight them an think positive but for some reason i cant its like the bad thoughts and that have got a hold of me and i cant break free no matter what i do. and with the therapist it doesnt help cause she wants to go through whats happened but i dint want to relive it cause every time i do i feel worse and iv told her this but she says youv got to go over the past so you move forward. but im getting to the stage i dont think i can continue its just all getting far to much to deal with and i feel like ending its the only way to help. x
