ok, i think what you should do is go see the doctor and they will help you. i am almost the same age as you and last year i didnt really like life, i got over it by talking to friends and telling them how you feel and they will natrally try to help. also, when you are feeling really down, i would go find a quiet place at your house or outside, or anyplace relaxing and write down how you feel. i have a bunch of papers that i have done that on and it seems to help me so how about you try it to and maybe that will help. so thats my advice so hang in there :)
Please see a psychiatrist who specializes in treating young people. Blessings
Many people struggle with depression. It's not anything to be ashamed about. And most people need outside help to get them through it. I know that people have hurt you before, but there are a lot of nice loving people in the world.
The wrong thing to do is to think that you need to fix it yourself. You can't. Depression is just like many other diseases, it needs the help of Doctors and possibly medicine to help you overcome it. Seek help and don't ever be ashamed of accepting help from others.
Just dont commit suicide
Sometimes things in your life feel smothering and all consuming but these are temporary problems and things do get better! Talking with a counselor can help by letting you see your problems from another angle. You are worth taking the effort to get better. Be strong and best of luck.
Honey, you have to keep trying. Please believe me...there are some really caring counselors around. There are also good therapists & physicians who can prescribe (if necessary). You may just have a chemical imbalance which is contributing to the way you feel. The only way to know for sure is to find the rght person to help you. Someone else can help you because they can see your whole situation from another perspective. You are so young....this can & will pass but you do not have to suffer through the tough times alone. I know you have been hurt before, but not all people will hurt you. You can regain your confidence and get out & do things again. Love can hurt, but love can also heal and be nurturing. There are all sorts of love. Have you ever given thought to helping out at an animal shelter, hospice or soup kitchen? Animals offer unconditional love. Giving of your time to help less fortunate individuals really gives us a reality check and could even bring out what you've got to give. Giving is a wonderful feeling and it is far better (and more fruitful in the longrun) than receiving.
yes dont worry! there actually r a great number of understanding people whom u have never met. even here in yahoo answers, u will find that they pay alot of attention to u. if u dont wanna talk to some adults in ur life, talk to us! we here have alot of info that u could use in the long run. u could just be in a phase. hormones in growing up have alot to do with moods. life is extremely good and i advice u to find a friend. talk to me.
Why don't you go down to the RSPCA and volunteer to help out. It is amazing how much better you feel when you work with other creatures and see how you can help them?
Exercise is great too. Of course you need to work with your doctor etc too, but do try and do this volunteer work, it will help your outlook on life.
Be active, drive yourself, bounce around - we all have to drive ourselves to feel better at times.
you have to keep trying.
try to get it out of your system, and talk about it.

ask, ask your heart out so you can also evolve, and survive.
