hi im kk17

im going through a rough time at the moment and have been for about 3 years. im going through depression and its getting worse. im going to the doctors next week but im worried she wont give me n e thing for it. ive been to 3 different councelors and they dont help, as i know what they are saying to me, nothings knew, but my depression just wont go away.

i cry a lot, get angry about things, ive thought about suicide a lot as im not happy at all. i feel guilty all the time about how my mums always there for me and ive never gone without n e thing, (she is a single mother and has worked her butt off for me and brother to have wat we need). n e way, i get nightmares, and i have a physical pain in my chest wen im sad. i tend to let myself be on my own a lot, i love my friends at skool but i dont help myself, i kinda go my own way and keep myself to myself, then i get lonely. i dont have much confidence in myself, i know i should, im at a performing arts school. n e way i hope ive given you enough information to hopefully help me and give me some advice. if u need to know more just ask.

thanx
hope u can help

I love the fact that you are willing to be honest with yourself, admitting that you are not doing anything to change your situation. I know you understand that to change this state of mind, to move beoyond your current condition, you must participate in life and not merely spectate. What is it that you desire to do? Take steps toward that goal. There is an inner witness within you, that compels you...stop ignoring it. You will be significant, as well as, successful. Your energy is turned inward, too much for a body to hold. Know that there is more room for your energy to expand, outside of you. Besides your gift and talent will put a smile on another's face. So if not for you, life for someone else. Volunteer, you are needed, and as you step out, you will see just how valuable you are.

Let me start off by saying that you are a very courageous person. It takes a lot to understand that you suffer from depression and are willing to get help.

I don't know where you are, but here in the U.S. counselors are not allowed to prescribe medications. Only a medical doctor can do that, some medical doctors are psychiatrists and they can prescribe.

If you explain to your doctor what you explained to us, then she probably will give you some meds. Just please be open and hoest with her about your feelings.

You are doing the right thing. Please keep it up.

I agree. Maybe you could try a different type of therapy, there are quite a few, to see which one suits you best as they all work in different ways depending on the person.

Please let us know how it goes. She should give you something if you are open and honest with her and let her know you feel you need something for your nerves.
