What can i do to stop my depression?!
Question: What can i do to stop my depression?
The prior two times depression was caused by a traumatic event but this time it was a different cause: I finally got the courage to ask out a girl i had liked for 7 months but it turned out she had been dating another guy for a week. This was a letdown but I tell myself it's no big deal....my subconscious seems to think otherwise.
Any time I'm reminded of this girl (which is almost daily) it sinks me into a blackhole of depression for usually the rest of the day....I looked up cures for depression and saw the best things to do are to
keep yourself busy- I have school for that
exercise daily- I'm on my schools powerlifiting team so i workout twice a day.
All my life Ive been an optimistic, high energy and spontaneous person but that has changed the last month and things that I used to love (watching football/hockey, skiing and video games) no longer interest me. I feel like I'm slipping away from my friends and that I might loose them if this gets worse....what should I do?
Answers:
Many people, specially teenagers, are suffering from depression, an eating disorder, panic attacks, cutting.....ON THEIR OWN. You will be surprised at how many have not said anything to anyone for fear of being rejected, made fun of, or other people think that they are weird.
I was once one of those teenagers. I went through depression for 4 years. And I was able to overcome it. It was a really hard road....but it's possible to overcome.
After reading many questions here on Yahoo!Answers I decided I wanted to help collectively and personally to as many as those people I could. I decided to create a blog to share my experiences and trials with every teenager that I can possibly show it to. As well, all the opportunities to contact me are open.
If you or anyone you know is suffering from this and is in their teenage years...dont let them go through it alone. It's the worst situation they can be in. I was there. Send them the link to contact me or to see the blog.
