I'm 16 in April and have been diagnosed with serfere suicidal ideation and mild depression my new case worker thinks I have a plan in which to commit suicide little things stress me out my family plays it down like its all OK the family has a history of mental illness such as depression bipolar etc I'm so stressed all the time I was wondering if anyone has some good ways of dealing with stress?

1. Keep talking about how you feel to the person treating you for depression, and ask him or her for help talking with your family, possibly a family session or two.
2. Get plenty of sleep every night! Teens need 9 hours.
3. Don't watch crime and violence on TV in the evening, and keep music soft.
4. Set a time for homework so you don't have to worry about not getting it done.

Value a best friend. We all need one, we don't need a whole lot of them.

Thanks joypulv :)
