Why does it happen?
Answer:
It sounds like you may have true depression and if that's the case, medicine may be your only choice of help. You should talk to your dr and be honest about your past and let him decide what's best for you.
I'm alot older than you but I have to take 2 different meds a day for depression and have to take them twice a day. Do not feel ashamed or like there's something you could've done to 'stop' the depression. Chances are you just have an imbalance that needs to be taken care of by way of meds. Be thankful that there are meds to help, I know I am! I'd rather be on meds than end up in an institution.
Please don't hurt yourself anymore. You have people who love you. GOD loves you!! I'm sorry to see you've been through so much at such a young age. But you've come along way, and you CAN get through this. You sound very wise and if you ever feel like talking, feel free to email me if you'd like.
maybe you are feeling that your way of life now (as being happy)is not what you really wanted. maybe you want to (subconciously) go back to your old way of life. if i were you i would tell your parents or a doctor so that you dont go back to that way of life.
Sweetie, depression can happen despite all of the good things in you life. Believe me, I too suffer from boughts of it. Although therapy didnt really help me, I had to get on medication. I know that the idea of medication is scary to some people it is the only thing that helped me. Sometimes little things in life can det it off, sometimes you just feel down. You should definately tell your parents or who you live with about this.
The chemical imbalance that set itself up in your brain during your time of trials and tribulations may still be in place, not completely "cured" by the passage of time and the change in your circumstances. You need to get some professional help, to determine if counseling or medication would be the better approach. Seeing a psychologist would be a good first step. I would also suggest seeing a psychiatrist, who could diagnose your condition properly and prescribe medication to stop the unwarranted depression. (A psychologist can't prescribe such medication.)
Wow ok first let me say that it is good tat you are scared because it shows that you are conscience to your problem. Just stay string and don't give in to the nonsense that is going thru your head. Try to get out and do new things and talk to o new people. Sometimes if we go thru things then get better and go back to the things that we were doing while we were sick it puts you right back in the position you were in before.
You have to escape the place and better your self and your surroundings. Or it could be that you have left something unresolved in your past and its coming back. Take care of the problem, don't harm your self or do take your life. If you need to feel free to contact me.
Dear miss
Why dont you try to pray ,I think if you go to church and pray there you would not have such problem. I have a son almost your age but he is in Iraq now with his father It is hard to be alone in such dangerous country alone but still he is spending most of his time by praying you can ask how people live in Iraq
Believe in God
You will fell stronger
Try to do some yoga
Well this is not a matter you should ignore I know myself from experience the good and bad side of depression.
For one thing you are at a cross point in your life your teenage years and that is harder these days than when I was growing up and one other thing are you on any medication to help you with this and if you are have you stopped taking it and by your own admission in your question you stopped going to therapy as well why?
It is a chemical in balance in our brains that bring on the depression in our up and down world that we go through
and you need to talk to someone professionally before it really gets a hold on you and you slide deeper into that depression and it gets a real hold on you don't wait do it as soon as you can ok.
Being only 16, you are more than likely bound to feel more depressed. You have the whole world that is looking at you to do something wonderful. It could be over a boy, grades in school. No money for the summer, worrying about going back to school, it could be from a lot of things, I am just speculating, I am not suggesting. It could also stem from something traumatic that had happened in your life. At least you are aware of the depression coming back, and you can start now making the changes that you need to do to get back on the right track.
When you feel yourself slipping down, go and do something that makes you feel great. Whatever it is, do it. When I was younger, I to tried to commit suicide 9 times. Those times, I was crying for help and I received it. Now I am glad that I didn't because my life is wonderful.
As for yourself, if there is a helpline that you can call and talk about what is troubling you. Keep a journal, and see if there is a pattern of when your depression returns. Since you are only 16, I would not recommend medication. Your hormones are still trying to balance out, and maybe that could be part of the problem. Everything is work overtime. Having a chemical imbalance in the brain could always cure itself. Messing with medication is a tricky thing, and because you are so young, I wouldn't even think of taking it. The best thing is to talk to someone who can help. If you have a therapist that you have dealt with before, call them. If you have anyone, even a best friend, tell them. Don't forget, parents never want their children to be unhappy, they are there for you and they can always do their best to help you. You will not get deeper into this, if you just seek out the help that you have had before.
Good luck, and life does get better. Believe me..I still have days where I get down, but I always see it as a way of life testing me, and I beat it everytime. Be strong, and you will see the changes that you can have for yourself.
Always look on the brighter side of life....
