How to deal with depression, anxiety, and insomnia?!
Question: Okay so i'm 15 and hate life. Nothing ever goes right and everything i've ever really cared about has been destroyed or taken away from me. I've been depressed for about a year i think, and over the past few months i've developed insomnia and anxiety. Now i have midterms in all my classes and my best friend is moving away tomorrow so everything is just so much worse. I keep randomly breaking down crying and i can't concentrate to get any studying done, which i really need to do! So how can i deal with everything and just clear my mind to study. please help me i feel so lonely and angry!

aaah thank you Lord i don't feel so alone!i'm 14 but i've delt with depression for a good time myself.im actually on anti-depressents=\
i know sucks right?yea.i've had insomnia for soo long.but it was before my depression.you should try talking to your other friends.they can be real supportive actually.i was even anorexic.talk about some hard times!i didn't want to tell anyone and get help because i didn wanna look weird ya kno?but wen i finally told my friend about my struggles she was so supportive of me!she helped me out a lot.shocking at first.but it really does help.i suggest that and maybe listen to some calming or even happy music[=
trust me NO ONE needs to go through this awful tribulation=[
if at all possible though it's best you avoid medication.unless its absolutely necessary.i wish i knew some other things to tell u!...if i think of anything else i'll come back and edit![=
im 16 i feel the same way i just go to my room n listen 2 music 4 like 20 minutes and i get relaxed and 4get bout everything
life is hard, things happen. that is part of life, you can't decide what happens but you can decide how you are going to deal with it. sometimes it is so much easier to become depressed and stressed---rather then try to change things. trust me, i know!
honestly, you need to write. that helped me A LOT when i was your age...and its great to go back 10 years later and read what you wrote and wonder what in the world you were thinking!!
its hard, but it will get better...i promise. just have a little faith and keep a positive outlook on life. i always just thank the Lord everyday that He let me wake up to see my son and my husband ONE MORE TIME, for allowing me to take yet another breath..
good luck to you, sincerely
You are obviously depressed. I've been in that situation before also. The anxiety and insomnia playing equals parts. The less sleep you get the more anxiety you feel and the more anxiety you feel the less you sleep and when you are nervous and sleepy you get depressed. It is an ugly cycle.
Things are not as bad as you think it jsut seems that way due to the depression. Makes notes of the good things that happen. Believe it or not, good things do happen. Trying to focus on the good things in a day will help (for example, I was able to get my favorite food at lunch, my favorite show is new tonight, my favorite song is playing on the radio, etc. Try to find a couple of good things every day and write write write
Go to your bedroom clear your mind listen to some music for a few minutes. Think about all the good things in life and and try to study. Look at this all the bad things in life that happened something good will come. Try to listen to some soft music and close you eyes don't think about nothing and it should help you sleep.
None of this stuff that people are telling you works. Take it from someone that has done everything. You need to see a therapist or a psychiatrist ASAP! Talk to your parents.
Since your only 15 go to your parents and ask them to take you to a doctor asap. You cant do this alone because you are a minor.
