Am I depressed? Bipolar? What's wrong with me?!


Question: Am I depressed? Bipolar? What's wrong with me?
I'm 14. Im in 8th grade, and I have a good life / family and get a lot of what I want.

I don't do drugs or have sex. But on and off through-out the day/week/month/year I'm kinda like depressed.

Sometimes during the day I'm fine and happy, but other times I just want somethin bad to happen to me.

When I'm alone I think about myself being raped, or beaten or etc. (horrible, I know). And often times when I'm in my "depressive mood" I can't put my feelings into words.

I just feel like I want bad things to happen to me, and I really really want it to happen. But when I'm in my good moods which Is maybe 55% of the day I'm just myself & happy.

And I hang out with friends all the time & I play volleyball 3 or 4 times a week on a team - and when I'm doing all that I occasionally think about my 'negative thinking' but sometimes it pops into my mind.

I don't understand why I think like this. Help? I've been like this for a couple months. And please don't tell me to talk to a doctor/counselor/parent. Thanks.

Answers:

14-15 is a hard age. You're just figuring out who you are and that can lead you to feel ways you haven't really felt before. It's weird. But every teen goes through it. We think silly things and do stupid stuff, but after a year or so of it, you just sort of move on, shake it off and say "wow, that was dumb, glad I'm over that now." You definitely don't need to see a doctor/counselor/parent, in fact, seeing therapists I think makes it worse for a lot of teens because that makes them feel like there's something wrong with them, when there's really not, it's perfectly normal. Your wanting bad stuff to happen to you is kind of like wanting something exciting to happen. I used to sort of fantasize about getting raped because it seemed like a great story, and then I'd have a little make believe boyfriend that would save me and stuff. But you'll get over it. Just focus on staying in touch with yourself, your friends, volleyball, and your parents. You don't have to tell them everything, but especially since you're aware you have good parents, don't ever vilify them either. It's very mature of you to realize that you do have a good life, because a lot of other teenagers say to themselves "Oh, my life is so hard, my parents are evil" when there's nothing really wrong just because they like feeling sorry for themselves and getting attention. If you don't ever fall into that trap, you'll be much happier.

Good luck =]



I dont want to sound mean but your unappreciative. It sounds like you have a steady life and you dont appreciate all the things you have. Think about all those who are less fortunate than you.



mmn i would like to see the effect of these therapies o your thoughts .
spiritual healing reiki
regular massage
voluntary work
i bet they alter


Spiritual healing ,Seichim and Reiki healing
This is the application of spiritual energies to the effect of helping people on all levels of their being .
That includes
Your mental well being
Your emotional well being
Your physical well being
Your spiritual well being .
There are millions of these therapists around the world and people travel from far and wide to them .Billions of people have been helped from these therapies .

And like all therapists there are good and not so good and some specialise in certain conditions like the physical and some do the mental etc .It is important to find the therapist which suits your complaint .
But you must bear this in mind all healing comes under what is known as spiritual law =you will be healed to the extent that you have earnt .ie your karma –the reaping and sowing of all deeds done 0ften from past lives .And what you are doing for the service of others in this life .
Thus you may easily two people with the same complaint go for healing and only one of them gets healed .which is why voluntary work is vital for your healing.

You must Find good therapists in your area /and a good spiritualist church who often give their services for free as an offering to the divine .

All you do is usually sit down in a comfortable chair and relax and think good loving thoughts –the healer may or may not place their hands upon you .That depends on how they are working .

You can even put your names healing books where believe it or not healing is sent to you by thought and that can be very powerful as well.


Spiritual healing -- study the healing of harry edwards google search

Harry Edwards recalled the case of a young man who, accompanied by a lady, was brought to me for healing. He was in great pain and eaten-up with arthritis. As the healing proceeded, so his pains left him, and his joints began to loosen and become free. When I had finished treating him, it was a real delight to see how wonderfully glad he was to be able to use his legs, feet, arms and hands again... and then he told me: "When I came here, I was convinced no one could help me, and I came only to please my Aunt, who brought me."

You worked a miracle with his father when he was very ill 1983-84 when I wrote to you, but you will be pleased to know he is now working for the Council and lives a fairly normal life.

I's report is complete - he is 100% fit and will have no trouble in resuming his sporting activities -considering the first reports, this is a miracle. I do not know how I would have managed without your wonderful help.

You and the late Harry Edwards helped me so often and indeed I am still pressing on 18 years after I was expected to die from my last bout of cancer.

I wrote to ask for healing for my sister who was to undergo an operation for aneurysm in the aorta. Her operation was very successful. After 1 day in intensive care and 2 days in progressive care she was back in her own room and has done extremely well. She was allowed home after 7 days when she had been told to expect to be in hospital for 10 to 15 days. Everyone was amazed at her recovery and the surgeon told her she had been a perfect patient. I feel sure the absent healing and our prayers were to a great extent responsible for this wonderful recovery and I thank you most sincerely for your help.

I thought perhaps you would like to have a record of the people you have helped during the time I have been sending reports. M.L. -angina, complete recovery. D. L. -duodenal ulcer, complete healing. B.L. - Angina, complete recovery. P.D. - Leukaemia - apparent full recovery.

On behalf of my mother, daughter and myself may I thank you for the lovely day at your Sanctuary last Tuesday. My mother is so much better it is truly amazing. She can stretch out her arms and even raise them to her head and her walking is much stronger. My daughter was very impressed, too. 1141/6
My condition improved in as much as I now have much more self-confidence and ability to deal with my everyday life. 1145/6
G.S. Good news. Up until recently he had to be helped to get into and out of his car. It is adapted to enable a disabled person to drive, The other day he got into his car entirely on his own and drove some 12 miles to a nearby town. Got out on his own and went into a shop to make a purchase. No wheelchair anymore! 1142/6

Get the spiritual healing /reiki in place asap

And remember this

Voluntary work for you is a very good idea especially when u consider this principle

,.all our healing and happiness - yours and mine is linked right alongside our efforts and contribution to others.in direct proportion to the help we give others

ie your healing comes with helping others =so if people are doing very little in helping others ---they suffer more and longer...and if they are doing a lot they get well faster...

.so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.

Do not even dream of healing to come to you if you are doing wrongful acts , wrongful words , wrongful thoughts. All you are doing is making more of a burden for yourself

1 hour a day will make a difference to you and to others



You can get free computerized therapy at moodgym, a project by australia national university. This program has little quizzes to identify "warpy thinking" and this may be the insight that you need. then you can work the program, which will teach you cognitive behavioral therapy. the program is fun and a bit dorky, and the homework is easy, and some of it is just being nice to yourself every day.

if you have been abused, this is probably the source of your problems. but some people have problems even with a good life, and the moodgym program will help you figure out distorted thinking.

also, lack of sleep is thought to be a major cause of anxiety and depression in young people. You need like 9 hours until you are an adult.

all the best to you.

PS also, prescription and over the counter drugs can cause mood problems. things like acne or birth control meds, or sleeping pills, blood pressure drugs, etc. can all cause problems. even cold medicine.



BISMILLAH - in the name of ALLAH(GOD)

----------------------

See anxiety, depression and boredom are the lack of the presence of correct motivational factors in life.

i would advise you following, as i would to my own bro/sis if he/she was in ur place.

Watch the following video, are the people in this video seem depressed or they seem grateful for what THE CREATOR has given them. Watch them and compare yourself to them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB71vFTYW…

once again, we loose interest in life or become depressed when there is no correct motivational factor for us, if there's one, you don't live a life of depression but are energetic and charged up to work for that goal.

So how should we rectify the issues that make us depressed and how should we understand the correct motivational factor for our life, here, listen to this song, this takes u in a totally different dimension, but listen and watch both, and then think about what the purpose of our life should be and is yours on that course, once you have understood clearly (thru this song, the interviews, the movie and the stories below) what the purpose of life is then you will not feel depressed but motivated to do something for it.

Do you know about 'cat stevens' the famous singer of the 70s, now he is known as 'yusuf islam,' i would advise you watch his interview on youtube, he used to be on drugs and wasn't happy with his life even with ton of money, but now has transformed to a way of life which he is content with.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcgCdn8I8…

Also do you know about rapper loon, this guy was with p-diddy, i would advise you watch his interview on youtube as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yoi0mU4hT…

When done, watch the following it is not based on fiction, but real events, this went on to change the course of the world that we live in today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccP-malnf…

Also if you like reading stories, which are both real and educative, here try the following site. These people (even though some of them were very young) faced trials and persecution, but emerged as successful ones(praises to THE CREATOR ALONE for that), and made history, wrote new chapters in the books of ethics and morality, reached to the top, yet were very humble but strict, the rich and strong would be threatened by them but the weak and poor will feel secure.

trust me there is a solution for all of our problems ALHAMDULILLAH(praises to THE CREATOR only), but we need to knock the right door.
