When I was 10 I begged my mom to take me to the therapist. I was talking about suicide, I was seeing things.It was bad. I've been to a few therapists..they haven't done anything for me.
After awhile I started to get better. It just kind of passed...I think I was feeling so bad because I was going through a million things at one time. Faith, my mom and grandma kind of helped.
If you think it is serious try to approach your parents in a non-freakish way but get the point across or they will comepletely blow you off. Sometimes it gets really bad like it did for some of my family so if it's serious get help while you can. If your'e not sure mention it to your mom/dad and just see how you feel. Sometimes it goes away..sometimes it doesn't.How does one get depressed in the 1st place? I started getting "depressed" awhile ago. I realized that I was a pussy and I stopped liking rap music, most of my friends and other things. I think everyone goes through it really,(some worse than others) and when you cant accept the change in yourself, thats when "depression" sets in. "depression"about half a year ago my mom made me go to a psychologist because she thought i was depressed...the psychologist diagnosed me with manic depression, and they wanted to put me on a bunch of drugs. proof that you have to be careful with where you go for therapy, because i'm sure as hell not depressed. i think i know myself better than some woman who's only talked to me a couple times. it's true that i did have a few of the symptoms, but it was only because i was stressed out over a lot of things with people and school.
so before you start spending tons of money on therapy (and believe me, it's expensive as fuck) you should really try to think it over.Are you "depressed"? Do you think that if you say you're depressed that you'll be cool?Okay I have a few questions on depression. For those of you have been diagnosed with depression, when did you did you realize it was a real problem, what steps did you take to get help if you're better now?
See I think I might suffer from depression, I'm never really happy and I don't really enjoy things as much, when I was a little kid I was happy. I have ups and downs, one second I'll be fine the next I feel terrible and just want to sleep. When I'm depressed I sleep a lot, because I want the time to pass. When I see those commercials for Zoloft those anti-depressants they pretty much describe how I feel most of the time. I want to get help, I think seeing a therapist might help but I don't know and how do I bring this up to my parents?
Also, if you are depressed, please, tell us what its like
