I feel depressed, should I spend money on therapy?!
Question: I feel depressed, should I spend money on therapy!?
For about 5 years I have not felt truely happy!. I have shut myself out from everyone, i do not talk much!. I used to be able to talk with no problem!. Ever since i shut everyone out tho, i find myself trying to find something to talk about but never do, resulting in very few friends!.
I found myself crying everyday!. But now it has gotten to the point where I just dont care anymore!. I hold everything back!. I want to cry, but i dont!. Everything ive ever known about me has changed!. I dont know who i am anymore!. Its just so hard to explain!
I feel confused all the time!. The smallest comments, even if they were not meant to hurt me, end up bringing me down!. I've hit rock bottom with my confidence!. I feel worthless!.
I talked to my school counseler about this and she ended up giving up on me!. Which made me feel even worse about myself!.!. like there was no hope!. I just want to be able to hold a conversation, that would help some!.
I just want the pain to go away!.
Do I need therapy, or pills, or what!? I just cant take it anymore!.!. I need some help before this gets any worse!.!. if it can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Yes - seek help from a doctor or licensed mental health professional!. If its an ongoing problem, which it sounds like it is, rather than a reaction to a specific life crises, you may very well need medication to help bring you out of the "funk"!.
Medication can work wonders for people with depression!. Therapy in conjunction can help you think about your situation differently and learn skills to help you live a happier daily life!.
I recommend seeing a mental health professional, but at the very least, talk to your regular doctor!. He or she can prescribe you something until you are able to get in to see a psychiatrist or psychologist/therapist!.
You'd be amazed by the highly successful, happy, "normal" people that see therapists and are on medication!. There is nothing wrong with seeking help!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may have to see someone!. You might have a chemical imbalance--which happens to sufferers for no apparent reason!. They can be so active and happy, then suddenly!.!.!.something is unfullfilled!.
I think you should look into finding a doctor so that they can determine whether it's an imbalance or something else personal!. Best wishes to you---I really hope you get betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

I also feel many of the same feelings, I believe that medication does not solve many of the feelings!. Exercises and proper rest ( not too much), try changing your habits or joining a service club, There are many people to talk with and at the same time filling some of your day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
try exercise first, especially yoga or aikido!. try 1 hour per day of exercise!. if that does not work then maybe try a counselor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You should go see your doctor to get some meds!. Although I think you should try first therapy and then they will tell you whats actually wrong!. Some therapist can prescribe you some meds so get checked out!.
