Please help, Am i depressed?!


Question: Please help, Am i depressed?
Okay so I have NO motivation anymore. My so called best friend doesn't consider me her friend anymore. She replaced me with my other best friend and now they just ignore me and only come to me if they want something. So that makes me not want to go to school. I fake sick so I don't have to confront them. My home life is also horrible. My dad hates me. He told me I was a mistake and told me he can't wait til i move out. He tells me he dreds coming home everyday because i'm here. He calls me names. I cry my self to sleep mostly everynight. I only sleep like 2 hours a night. My grades are slipping and I want to go to the doctors but my next appoinment is April 23rd. I've had suicide thoughts and I just feel so empty. Please tell help. :\

Answers:

First step you need to do the hardest part and go and visit a doctor (asap) it's nothing to be embarrassed about, depression is like THE most common mental illness. They will be able to give you medication and therapy to help you.

Find a support group - hopefully this will help you not feel so alone as you will be surrounded by people who are in the same boat as you, they're really good and you will be able to talk through your problems and emotions with people who completely understand and sympathise.

Read some self help books, I don't know any off hand but if you google it or amazon it it'll come up with the most highly rated one for you to read.

Take up a sport: exercise is well known to help boost serotonin levels and not only that but it will help you feel good about yourself.

Eat healthily & drink lots of water: This will give your body all the nutrients it needs to stay happy and you'll feel better for it.

Keep a diary: you can vent your frustration through the diary and you will feel like someone is listening and in effect they are because you could always show it to the doctor or someone. Plus you could then establish if your mood flows in any sort of pattern, this will help the doctor diagnose you.

Ring support line, like Samaritans and so on (I don't know any off hand but if you google them there will be loads! Samaritans also offer an email help service :)

Whenever you feel sad listen to happy, uplifting music like:

- The Avett Brothers (best album is "I & Love & You")
- Anything by the Beatles <3

Equally watch some comedy like Only Fools & Horses, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder etc :]

Hope this helps and you get the support and help you need :D

Good luck, all the best xo

Yes you may have depression. But DON'T BLAME YOURSELF. It's best to find professional help and to calm down. Do not attempt to suicide or hurt yourself. Talk to trusted adults and professionals, teachers, and be assured that everything will be well soon.

Sometimes life can be very hard.

But keep your hopes up and you will find answer.

Are you religious? If you are (like I am), I pray to God a lot for guidance, you should try that too if you are religious and even if you are not you can consider it. He loves you beyond your comprehension and if you try to speak to Him He will listen.

Good luck and I hope you overcome this soon. :)
