I was in your shoes at that age, and over the years I've been treated for anxiety and depression, though I am not on medication now.
Teen years are difficult anyway, even if you don't have those mental issues to cope with, as you struggle through the change from childhood to adulthood and find yourself coping with many adult responsibilities and relationships. Add the anxiety and depression and you have a formula bound to produce a few tears.
Seek balance. That works for me... a balanced, healthy diet, some balance in sleep patterns with plenty of sleep, and a variety of de-stressors, whatever works best for you, whether it's playing cards, writing, cooking, or working out.
If you can, see a therapist as well. Being part of a support group of some type is important... in my opinion, more important than treating these things by throwing pills at them. That should be the last resort... sometimes it is necessary, so don't be afraid of it as an option, but pursue it only if nothing else works.
A support system can take many forms... close friends, a religious group, a 12-step program, or an interest group like a poetry circle or a cycling club. Seek one out.
Listen to your intuition. An old 12-step acronym helps me... it's "H.A.L.T."... Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. What that means is that periodically you should "halt" and look at those things one at a time. Hungry? Eat. Angry? Figure out why and talk about it or address it as needed. Lonely? Work on friendships or a relationship, connect to people. Tired? Sleep. These simple things, when taken apart and dealt with one at a time, can make overall stress go way down... and subsequently ease feelings of depression and anxiety.
ur turning emo lolz
It's called emo.
More people have reasons to cry and you teenagers feel like you are injusticed.
Don't worry its normal , especially for people with depression (I have it too) . Its better to cry & let it all out rather then bottle it up inside of you , it will only make things worse . Don't stress about it , things will get better but you just have to try to get through , as hard as that seems.
you are depressed!!!!! and who told you there is no medicine for depression and anxiety,have you seen therapist?
Have your parents considered therapy for you? Talking things out and getting direction is the best way for you to discover what is really going on underneath your depression. Unfortunately, none of us on a yahoo answer board can really answer this question for you - because we no nothing of your past or chemical make up.
I will say that I often felt like this at 15-16. It is a very tough time in a young adult's life. There are so many hormonal, physical and emotional changes going on that it just can really goof things up with you. It will pass as you grow up and grow into the person are going to be. Considering "checking out" should never be an option. Know that this will not last forever and that it is almost a "right of passage" to feel emotionally out of control. As you grow older, you'll learn the skills to get through life and one day you'll know happiness.
Medication is always an option when you get older. Keep talking to your parents and let them know what is going on. I'm sure they are also in a lot of pain knowing you are hurting and if they are good parents, will do what it takes to get you through it. Ask them about therapy.
Being young sometimes means that you have many ups and downs emotionally. All those hormones are kicking, you haven't found your place in the world and you don't know where life is leading. No wonder young people often feel so confused. Try not to be hard on yourself. Sometimes life simply does not make sense. Take heart and remember that this too shall pass. Stay away from people or things that only contribute to making you feel badly. Keep talking to your parents and friends. If you continue to have these feelings, tell your family. Also, remember that often, if we try to help others we don't have so much time to obsess about ourselves. Angelina Jolie used to be a confused mess and look at how she has changed since she started to care about other people by doing charity work. Have you considered becoming a volunteer to help others who are less fortunate? Find something constructive in which you can use your skills, something that will make you feel worthwhile. You could go to a senior citizen's home and read to the elderly. Be good to yourself and take your time to get back on track. Good luck.
i am 14 i am exactly like you but i cry myself to sleep ever day i have been taking antideppressents and it is getting better
Pay it forward is a spiritual concept based in the idea of karma, reincarnation and how it comes back to you if you do good things for someone else, whether it be in this lifetime or another. You cried because you have been cut off from the truth of yourself and you just heard something that rang true to you, that triggered your spiritual yearnings to know yourself and who you are. Dear, start to find out your true depths, the truth of who you are, and that depression will go away.
