Im never happy and when I am it goes away so quickly that I dont even notice it. I need to know what to do.

i too have suffered from depression. i read your profile. you have so much to offer. you are in school, to be a counselor or english teacher, you draw, paint, write, wow. that means your creative, and into arts and crafts. that's great. do stuff you like to do, don't focus on your flaws. the positives. get a haircut, paint your nails, put a lil makeup on. learn to sew, start making earrings and necklaces. you have so much to live for. you are the future of this messed up nation. don't let others bring you down. you are our future. don't get upset. you are you. and you are great. peace and blessings.
you can always go to a public hospital. They can't refuse you service. If you really feel out of control, go there. If you just need someone to talk with, there should be a counsiling service available at your college that could see you before you're able to get in witht he services department.
Just take a step back and realize you've already started the road to help. You may have to wait one more month before the process begins, but in the full scope of things it's not that long. Find a friend who can keep you commited to helping yourself, someone to keep you motivated. If that person can't be your mom, go to a guidence councilor, your academic advisor, someone.
I too suffer with it what helps me is reading, it calms me and also allows me to be taken away from my depressing life if even for half an hour.
Go to church maybe they will have some groups for young adults or at least maybe someone you can talk to there.
other then that just try to calm yourself down and think before you do things, just train yourself to stop and think before anything! good luck..you can do it! but for sure get on that waiting list!
Well you could always call a hotline, you can find those in your phone book. I also put rubber elastics around my wrist and pull them when I have the urge.
I'm young now--16 and I've done the same things.
But maybe going to the doctor (s)he can recommend something.
