i am 32 and i was depressed every since i was 14. i never talked to anyone about it. i always felt sad/depressed especially in high school. it's hormones! keep yourself busy, try not to be by yourself to much, get a journal and write your feelings, things you cant talk to others about. research herbs/depression like hpt-5 & st.johns worth-raise serotonin levels. pray, go to church. what are your hobbies and interests

you are your worst enemy

people have been through worse, but it's never as good as it seems and never as bad.

Think about when you finally get to drive that new nice car, think of all the chicks you can have it in. Think about blasting all the music you want. Think about it man, you're a senior, enjoy the time left there, it's not going to happen again. I am positive that you know a lot of things are bothersome but not unapproachable.

Like I said you are your worst enemy. Sure other people add in pressure, anxiety and insert whatever else, but they're not in front of your face 24/7, the thing that is, well it's you.

Call up people, smile more, relax, not matter what people say on here they can't do it all for you, you gotta change it yourself.

Positive Mental Attitude.

The issues with your parents are difficult and even though many people run into this, it's always going to be unique for the person experiencing it, but that's only a part of yourself, you know what I mean? DONT let other people encompass you.

forget the drugs/pill whatever

think of the best part of the day and kick the rest in the balls for a week, see how much more relieved and energetic you are

another thing is when i m depressed i dont want be bother. so you say no one invites you to anything. how approachable are you? if your always sad. around holidays do you ask your friends what do they do, or where do they go?
it's okay if yo dont have a lot of friends only if the friends you do have are your true friends.

Dude, Happiness is not a perpetual state. Forget it. Don't try to be happy, try to be 'CONTENT' ahhhh... now that's more like it. Stop chasing happiness so much. Happiness is way over rated.

As far as your issues with your mom, I didn't talk to mine for 10 years and then I really regretted it. There is a special bond between son and mother, so cherish that and understand that no matter what, she will ALWAYS love you and consider that she probably cries at night thinking you hate her so much. That must make you feel like crapola, huh? Sorry. I mean, I am not going to judge you, afterall, I didn't talk to my mom for so many years so I can see where you're coming from.

Oops, got side tracked. My point is... just stop looking for happiness because remember: Happiness is not a perpetual state.

For moments like these, I always take drastic measures. I join a new group, I start a new activity, I try to surround myself with new vibrant energy and I just STOP looking for 'THINGS'.

Also, just take a step back and reflect on your blessings just a bit. You know, kid, people spend so much time thinking about what they don't have and along the way, forget to appreciate the things they DO have.
