I need some help
So I gave you a very short answer. I want to expand on it. I'm married to a chronic depressive, I am very slightly bipolar (Mom was biploar- life with her was a roller coaster ride!) and I am working toward a degree in psychology, so I have a reasonable amount of experience when it comes to depression. You are seriously depressed and you need to start talking to someone! Your posting here is a good start, but typed lines on a page aren't what you need- you need human contact. At the very least, go see a counselor at your school- a counselor is just someone who is paid to be a caring, experienced friend who will listen to you. They're not as good as a real friend, but their better than nothing! (
Pretty much like the difference in sex with the love of your life and a hooker.)
Also, your diet may be part of the problem. Burgers, pizza and fries are not a good balanced diet- even at your age. Diet can affect your mental health as well as your physical health. Eat more fruits and veggies. You should grab a good multivitamin/mineral and some stress vitamins and take them every morning. If your depression was mild, I'd suggest St. John's Wort- run a search on it for more info. For some folks it works as well as anti-depressants.
Another thing is to start getting some excercise! Walking your troubles away is not just a saying, it is a valid fact. Look it up- just run depression exercise - there was a news article recently about walking being a way to break depression. Walking, especially in a "green" setting , helps your head. So go for a walk in the park.
Get a kitten or puppy. Grow a plant. Go fishin'. Join a club. Read "Be Here Now". Become an activist for a cause that you believe in. Stop sitting around feeling nothing- force yourself to go and DO SOMETHING! Sometimes you have to be "mean" to yourself to take care of yourself. :thumbsup:
Left and Captain, may you never have severe depression strike someone you love! My talented, beautiful mother suicided two weeks before her 60th birthday. :sadcrying I'm 59 now and it still hurts.
