I am 15 year old, and think i have depression.
Depression runs in both sides of my family, from manic depression to clinical depression... I suffer from lack of interest, sadness, stomach aches, suicidal thoughts, and other signs of depression. I don't know what to do, I have told my Step-Mother and she wants to help, but she makes everything seem so huge and out of reach. I look at all these sites and see all this, "It's not your fault" or "we can help" but I don't see how this can help. I can't even eat now, every time I do I see it 10 minutes later in liquid form. I'm sick of living like this. I hate crying myself to sleep at night, and I don't even know why. I'm... I'm angry at myself that I have dug myself into a hole this big, and I don't know how to get out. Any HELPFUL advise is greatly appreciated. No, "It's not your fault" I want results... I know it's not going to happen over night, this is my first step... So I ask, Please Help?

Hi,
Don’t worry. The fact is everyone suffers from depression at one point of time. The most important is not to focus on darker side of life. Always look for something positive in every aspect of life. Focus on even simple things that you gain that what you lose. Train your mind to accept people and things as they are than pointing fingers. Be gratitude on whatever you get. Exercise regularly to keep your energy up and strength, which will gradually increase your hunger. Enjoy every aspect of life. Listen to good music. Spend time for your hobby. Take a refreshing bath before bedtime. Thank goodness for the food and other things that you get everyday. Take life simple. Good luck.

It sounds to me like you definitly are suffering depression symptoms, and given your famly history, it really is not a surprise.(I too, have a strong family history of depression and am a sufferer myself). Think of depression the same way you would think of any other condition. Depression and anxiety disorders are medical conditions just the same as say, diabetes, high blood pressure or other types of chronic or long term illness. It in no way means that you are crazy or "losing it"; you have an illness that affects your mind and body. People around you mean well when they say it's not your fault(it isn't)but that gives you little comfort and does not help the actual problem. What you need to do is call your doctor and make an appointment to see him/her. You do not necessarily need to see a psychiatrist; a family doctor can help you. When you see the doctor, be honest about your symptoms; family doctors are aware of these conditions, and in many cases, can provide you with advice, tools and medication to deal with your depression. Good luck, and think positive.
