This past week I have noticed changes. Changes like I get sad A lot MORE. I have depression & axienty. The anxiety is gone but the depression isn`t. This past week I have felt like I don`t know how I feel. I just get sad easily. Not happy a lot. I`m always a happy person but lately its changed. People have been telling me something has changed. I sometimes don`t know who I am anymore..
What should I do..

First let me say that I had to change your font and color because it was impossible to read.

Now, on to your question. You say that you have depression and anxiety. Has this been diagnosed by you or by a doctor? If it has been diagnosed by a doctor are you on any medications?

Do you mind me asking what you take, how much and how often, and for how long? It may be that you may need a different dosage of your meds, or possibly an addition to your meds, or even a different med altogether.

Have you been feeling sad for a while now? Like more than 2 weeks?

How long have you been on the meds? This is a very important question to answer.

I`ve been feeling this way RIGHT AFTER my father passed away when I was 11. I'm now almost 14. I`ve also been on the meds since Dec last year...

Okay, thanks. I just thought maybe they were new to you. So they have had time to work.

Let me say I am sorry about your father. I know words do not show the feelings we have as I just lost my father a week and a half ago. So, I would like to express my symathies to you and your family. I know how hard it can be.

Now, you have been on the meds for quite a while. It is possible that it is no longer working for you, it is VERY possible that you need a change in meds. Please discuss this in detail with your doctor when you see him.

If you express a concern that the med is not working he should change your meds for you.

Aww thannk you. I'm sorry to hear about your farther. It must be very hard. I know that he is watching over you now J_P. But things happened that after my dad died I tried killing myself & the past weekend I tried cutting myself. Not sure what 2 do.

Thank you for your condolences.

Have you tried talking to your mother? Can you talk to her?

Why would you want to cut yourself? There is nothing there that will help, only hurt as the scars will last a lifetime.

I tried talking to my mom all she does is bring me 2 two docs. I tried cutting myself because I felt like no one cared & no one would care if anything happened to me. That day I was so depressed

Sweetie, people do care. I know it seems hard to believe at times, but they do. Even us here care, really.

Suicide is harder on those left behind. Trust me I know. I had an uncle who took his own life by his own hand.

While your Mom is taking you to the doctors, it does show that she cares. You see, she may not know how to deal with this, she may think she is doing the right thing, and she is. It may not seem right to you right now, but as a mother myself and a nursing student and a daughter of a depressed person, I can tell you that she is doing the right thing by you.

OK. She said that if I would have killed myself last Sunday she would have been heart broken forever

She is speaking the truth. Now, what is so bad that a day, a week, or a month won't solve? Yes, that your age life can be VERY difficult, I won't deny that, I remember being that age, and I have a 13 year old daughter. So, I know how hard it can be. But there are so many things to look forward to in life. Things you may not even consider now. You don't want to let go of your future.

Sometimes I feel like I don't need to be here anymore. I want to be an actress but sometimes people sya comments & they haven't even see me act before.. so it is hard because they say stuff to me like I can't do anything. I feel like I am a person who ruins everything

You know, we all feel like that at times. It is just human nature to feel down sometimes. It is normal to feel hurt when other people make mean comments to or about us.

However, it is not what people think about us that makes us special, it is what WE OURSELVES think about us. Those people that think that you can't do anything don't know you really well. Prove them wrong. Be the best you can be, work hard, become passionate in what you believe in. Make them the fool by showing them that you are more than what they think of you.
