Hello. Another carer here! ![]() It sounds like your going through a rough patch. Theres always a light on the other side. Believe me. Im someone that has been through a rough time, but ive managed to come through it all and am happy now. When I was around 15 I was had manic depression, insomnia and I was an alcoholic. Thats not a nice mix of things to deal with, but I worked on things and managed to get myself happier. DONT GIVE UP. There is a time in the future where you can be happy. Keep striving towards that goal and you will reach it! There has been a lot of good advice given here. Starting a sport is a very good piece of advice! Exercise will release endorphins (a hormone) in your brain and this hormone has been linked with feelings of happyness. I used to go for runs when I felt bad. If I felt terrible, no matter the situation or the weather id put my shoes on and go for a run. I used to concentrate on the road ahead of me and stop thinking about the bad things. After a few miles when you turn for home, its hard to remember the things that made you run in the first place. Depression can be beaten and there are more ways than just medication. I decided that I did not wish to take medication and tried to beat it myself. That was mainly out of stubborness. But thats just who I am. As for medication, it may be worth a try. My advice to you is to speak to your family and ask to have your doctor changed. Then you can go to the new doctor and ask their advice. As stated above, not all doctors are bad and the one you've been seeing certainly sounds bad to me! Lots of things are there to help you get happier. Laughter has been mentioned. I think I went about a year without laughing once. One day I saw a piece of comedy on tv and laughed till tears ran down my face. It was incredibly cathartic and afterwards I slept like a baby. Laughter helps a lot. There are lots of other things that can help release endorphins into your body. Chocolate is one of those. ![]() Eat some chocolate when you feel bad. As for the bullies that pick on you.....they are weak people who can only make themselves feel better by picking on people that they think are weaker than themselves. You are a better person than them. Remember that. Speak to your headmaster at school, or a teacher and tell them whats happening. They may be able to stop it! It sounds like you are a creative person to me. Thats a wonderful thing. I used to write stories and draw when I was depressed. A creative outlet will help you dump some of your bad feelings. I used to draw horrible Giger style things that used to scare the hell out of my parents, but after a while I got fascinated with things like the passage of the wind (due to insomnia and staring blankly out of a window for 7 hours) and I ended up doing watercolour landscapes. Try and fixate on something you find nice and wonderful. Its something you can go back to (not retreat to) when you feel down. I dont think you can deny that there are people out there that will help and care for you. Look at this thread! You are not alone. Im sure that people here will try and help you as best as they can and you can beat the depression. We may not be with you in person, but you have friends on here. It may take a while to get a reply or a piece of advice, but it will be here for you! |

Hey, I can't say I know how you feel or that I know how you're like, but I can say had the displeasure of seeing people in your situation make the wrong decisions. Therefore I'm glad you decided to reach out before you chose to do something you'd regret. I hope you keep reaching out till you find someone/something to hold on to. As for this forum, people here can't reach back (except by posting, but that's not nearly as effective as a real shoulder to lean on), but I hope we can at least show you things aren't perhaps as hopeless as they may seem. Just keep your head up. Take the time to read some of the posts in this thread, cause it seems to me that there's a lot of wisdom and support in every one. What I do when I feel down? I plug in my guitar and blow some walls out... |

Hey Im only a kid but I had a freind who was depressed. It was hard for him but he found a way out ,he played sport. He is now the best football player on our team and he runs to take his mind off things. He told me once that if he fells alone or sad he just runs or practises his sport. He says it clears his mind. I also agree with the meds and therapy and if you feel bad just think of something you enjoy. Good luck!

Hello Callum, i have seen this thread some time ago, and I always felt like replying, but words came up short. Now i think i have something useful to add to this, plus i wanted to let you see there are indeed alot of people who care. First of all, i takes alot to write your RL problems down on a public forum, its a hard thing to do and requires some courage in a way. I've seen on your profile that you are only 14. I was quite shocked actually to see that, cause you seem very mature and had gone through a lot. I feel that since you are still young, you still have long time to take your life into your own hands. Your friends left you, but i think they don't know better. At that age young kids can be very stupid and hurting, by doing such mean things. We've all been through your age too, and i think every older member here can somewhat associate with your story, to a variable degree. We might not have lived the same thing, but im convinced that alot of people have felt bad about something (themselves, life, ...) but all passed through and made it, and feel good now. I have had a good youth i think (im still 18 y'know), but i know that at 15 i felt horrible, quite 'shitty'. I had to see a phychologist and stuff, and nobody knew except my close family. It was also a very hard time for me, i was really down. I'm not saying that ive been through the same as you, i just want to make you feel that you are not alone. Heck, i dont know you, we don't een live in the same country, but through this anonime community we spreak to eachother and try to get people out of bad moments. Alot of people care about you, even if they don't know you (as i, and everyone here on the forum). I don't mean this as a cheer up reply, cause i know it needs alot more than that, but every bit helps IMO and now you know one member more cares. I think of myself as a person who's not very good at telling people such posts, but i try to help. I mean good ![]() I agree with the others that sports is a very good therapy, kind of self-help. Sometimes totally giving everything at sports refills your batteries fully. Hope you'll turn out OK, remember that time heals alot, Xavier |
