I am depressed,I feel like I have no point in living please help me?!


Question: I am depressed,I feel like I have no point in living please help me?
I am 13 and in 7th grade
I feel like there's no use for me in life.
I feel like I have no interests anymore,so nothing to do that makes me happy.
I cry in my room a lot.
I have friends,but I feel like an outcast when I am with them.
School,is basically me sitting there for 6 hours not speaking a word while I am surrounded by annoying,outgoing people.
I have no self esteem.I find myself ugly and fat.I always feel like people are judging me.

When I get home from school,I don't know what to do with myself.I have no interests anymore. I used to like writing,and I still kinda do,but I am no good anyways.....i don't know why everyone says I am fantastic at it,when stupidpit teacher said she was gonna publish it in the school paper but she never did.

I have delt with therepy in past years,but nothing much helped.I would just sit there and babble aboust my problems in till our session was over.

I don't wanna talk to my mom about it because my sister had the same issue when she was my age,but she never really did have it,she was just being an emo b****.So my mom is just gonna think that it will all blow over and that I am also just being a whiny b****

I hate talking to other people.I hate almost all people in general.

I am not hurting myself I just cry a lot :'(

If you kill your self then maybe our next president or what ever you want to be, will be lost and you could save the world and we would be at a loss with out you.



check out this post for what i said to this other person feeling down :)

Personal Experince



Yes, I can help you! You are not alone with your problem! I asked my GP physician why so many teens are depressed, even suicidal and she answered: "All teens are depressed. They are insecure. It is a time for figuring out who you are." Depression is a normal emotion, one of 6-8 basic ones you are born with. It comes and goes and you need it in order to live as it is a natural signal to change course in your thinking, behavior or environment, which at the moment are not the best for you. There was so much negativity in your question. Learn to think positively. Negativity is the cause of depression, not a chemical imbalance.

Try,"learning to think positive" in a Yahoo! web search for many links on how to do this. Do not reject this as that is your negative attitude ruling you. If your mood becomes extreme and prolonged that might be "clinical depression" which is a disorder requiring psychotherapy.

Good luck!

Life!



aww babe :(
i was quiet in school and didn't get on that well with my so called friends. now i have a wonderful boyfriend and 3 amazing kids.
i will tell you what got me more out going and that was when i started kickboxing, gives you plenty of confidence, gets you fit and makes you feel better about yourself :)
you should talk to your mum as if you do need a bit of therapy then you should get it.
you should write down your feeling, it do help.
don't give up on life, things do get hard from time to time but we all get through it.
you will get through and you will grow up to be happy :)
good luck hunni X



I felt the exact same way when I was in grade 7, and I've managed to make it to gr 11 now. If you like writing, then write! It doesn't matter if you're good or not, you're writing for YOURSELF, not anyone else. You don't need to meet any standards, just do it because you like it.
I really would suggest talking to your mom about if you can, if you can't maybe think of someone else in your family you can trust, or a teacher. Or try getting to a doctor if you can? I understand that it's hard at age 13, my little brother's the same age. Depression can have serious results if it goes untreated.
And school wise, maybe try to push yourself outside your comfort zone sometimes and get to know other people a bit better? I can't go to my parents with anything, and my life's still pretty rough, but I have a few bestfriends that I can trust anythingggg with.
I dont know you dress but when I was in gr 7 and depressed I dressed head to toe in all black, so my teacher reached out to me alot and to this day is my favourite teacher ever. Also kids that felt the same way in life talked to me more, and I built alot of friendships with kids who understood the feelings I was having.

All in all, don't ever feel like you're useless. I tried to kill myself when I was in gr 7 also, and I'm so glad I didn't. As much as I struggle in my life, I value it like crazy. I would have never met the people I have, become bestfriends with the most amazing people in the world, and have an amazing boyfriend. There's always hope and you just have to focus on the future. You'll do something you love one day with the people you love and be happy. Don't give up now, you're way to young. You haven't had the opportunity to figure out who you are or the meaning of life. Stay strong and don't ever feel like you're useless, because there is ALWAYS someone who loves you.



I've been through this. I have some suggestions.

If you haven't already, schedule an appointment with your doctor. She can diagnose you, prescribe antidepressants, and/or refer you to a therapist. You said your therapy didn't help. I would suggest that you give it another chance. You need to keep trying different people until you find someone who you really feel comfortable talking to and who actually has good suggestions for you to improve your life instead of just listening to you "sit and babble." It took me a few tries to find a good counselor.

The only other suggestion I have is that churches often have youth groups with lots of nice people who you can become friends with.

Good luck!



Sweety, I think its a phase. I am in my 30s I remember feeling the same exact way...like everyone had a place but me..though I had many friends. Just remember this is such a short space of your long life, high school is just a battle field, just arm yourself with the right tools..educate yourself, join after school programs and the rest will follow..as long as you realize only you can truly define yourself...everyone else in high school is going thru the same though no one speaks about it...you also might want to see a doctor to make sure there isn't a chemical issue. I also recommend you look to your faith...God loves you very much and in him you will find strength and direction....take it from me ...I didn't believe there was a God because I was so angry and sad. I read your question and it is amazing how much you remind me of me.I keep a journal since the age 11 and I can see how much I have evolved and so will you.



You may be sad and depressed since you think you love Justin Bieber. jk. Just do whatever comes to mind, search random stuff on the internet. why do you hate people, the only people I really hate are those wannabe cholos, since they have absolutely no respect for other people, but almost every other group of people is fine. Like you said you like to write, you could always write songs about your emotions, and if you play an instrument you can even sing your songs in your basement or attic or something. therapy doesn't do **** unless it is physical therapy, but mental and emotional therapy is a scam. What ever you do not jump! your self esteem will soon go away.

the mind



You know what.
You're not the only person who feels this way.
I, myself feel like this many times - and i feel by talking to someone who has been through the same situation as you will help a lot. I'm 16 years old and I've been through a hell of a lot in my life where it's came to the point where I just didn't want to even exist in this world anymore. I had a dream to travel the world but because I had depression, I lost interest in that and thought I wouldn't be able to do that. I always put myself down to a level where others can step over me. But, it took awhile, like a long time to realize there is so much more to the world than you can think... I pushed aside all the negative things and kept my distance from friends who were really not worth being around and just became an individual myself and just focused on myself and what I really want.. I actually dropped out of school because of bullying, i would come home to an empty, lonely house and cry... no one was there to help or support me.. I have always been alone in my life... But I decided instead of crying and thinking how much my life sucks, i thought maybe i should be thinking of a way to make my life better... I decided I would find things to occupy my brain.. so I found a job and am doing a retail course...I've found some really nice people who set an aura that makes you feel like you actually exist and it feels great. What I am getting at is... you're so young sweety.. try and do something, even if it's out of your interests, stretch wider and take chances/opportunities/risks.. I thought to escape my depression and thoughts of dying was to occupy my brain more with good things...
Try and volunteer for something.. I did and you know what.. it made me feel great afterward - because I actually helped someone.
Try and sign up to groups that do things... it might sound sucky, but in the long-run it actually helps.



7th grade is THE WORST. Your hormones are changing and you feel like you couldn't be any more awkward. (I speak from experience). Now my friends and I look back and shudder at the thought of middle school and early years of high school and are so glad we're through them. Everyone remembers feeling like people were judging them...so just keep in mind that you're not the only one. I'm sure most of your peers feel the same way.

I often felt like an outsider in my friend group, I always wished I had a boyfriend, and I'd go home from school depressed and often unable to sleep well. Don't give up now. It gets soo much better as you settle into yourself as a person and people around you do the same. Be strong and know that 7th grade is not forever.
