How can I make life more bearable?!


Question:

How can I make life more bearable?

Every day I cry. I'm struggling to find a job.. the only man I ever loved who i was living with packed up and left me. I think about when i was "happy" and it seems so far gone now. I just want to have that feeling again. I'm so depressed. I don't want to talk to a therapist or my parents about this. I don't want to burden anyone. I just want to be happy again and i'm so miserable.. I'm 16. I know it seems young to be having these emotional problems.. i should be happy and care free because at this age people say we have no problems.. but i am so sad.

I go out of my way to try to move past this. I hang out with friends, go out and do things... I am actively looking for work. Nothing seems to get my mind off this pain. It's so difficult.


Answers:

I am so sorry that you are feeling this bad. First of all at 16 you should not be living with a man. I'm not here to preach at you, but to tell you for your own good that this is just to young. You don't want to tie yourself like that so don't do it again. Learn from your mistake! Also you are not to young to be feeling this way. There are children as young as 4 that are diagnosed with clinical depression.
It may help to talk to a therapist. We aren't ogres you know;) However you need to get yourself out of the house and doing things. It is summer so think of some fun outdoor activities you could get into. Mountain biking, hiking, swimming, horseback riding etc...Whatever hobbies or interests you have really immerse yourself in them right now. This will be good for you not only mentally and emotionally but physically as well. When you engage in physical activity your body releases endorphins which is a natural high. This helps you to feel good.
Be sure to surround yourself with positive, supportive people. Right now you don't need people who will bring you down. Stick to the friends that are sympathetic and supportive.

Good luck and God Bless! It will get better.
