Deppression Plz Help What Can I Do!

Hi cuteamie,

i think we have discussed this before. Your self-harming is due to depression for which you can be treated. But it is no good to talk to friends about this because they would not be able to understand this.


Please print out:

and discuss this with an adult, counsellor or doctor.

Amie,

there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating. However there is somthing wrong with eating improperly. Try to keep your eating to 3 full meals per day instead of snacking throughout the day. I found out the reason I was slightly depressed is because I wasnt eating properly, I also definately suggest a good multi-vitimis. Its helped me a bunch. Nothing wrong with a little bit of excersize either :wink:

as for the bullies, stay stong for the moment and they will get whats coming to them. "be nice to people on the way up, cause you will meet them again on the way down"

If your friends aren't being trustworthy than dont speak to them but I do think you should talk to someone if you feel you cant talk to your parents than talk to a teacher there are many diff ways of treating depression for example some doctors believe that no-one actually knows what the exact chemical balance there is supposed to be in the brain and will suggest just councelling others may and put you on medication. But please every morning when you wake up think about all the beautiful things about yourself.

My Partner has been suffering from depression for 14 years. Throughout that time, she has been prescribed various anti depressants. Nothing has really worked for more than a few weeks. We think back to before she was first prescribed anti depressants and generally she was a lot better. we think as the pills do not appear to have been working, perhaps she would be better not taking them. Consequently we are currently under the Mental Health Dept in our area and have seen a Psyciatrist with a view to reducing and eventually coming off them. She is due to start Cognative Therapy and we are hopeful that this could be a better solution. Question, I asked the Doctors if the Anti depressants could be causing her depression and was told no. However since reducing the dosage (under Drs instrution) she seems so much better. Could her medication be making what were mild symptoms of depression worse.
