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?

rockstar567 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:04 AM

I was diagnosed by a doctor. Yess I do. I take medications but I'm not sure if they are working..
I don't know what to do?

J_9 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:07 AM

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.

I take a mediciation called prozac also tegratall I don't know how to spell the last one though. I take them everyday at night one tegratall I take in the morning like 3 pills of those I'm suppose to. My doc says that I am fine on this medication. But I don't think so. I'm meeting wit hthe doc this week. Ill see what happens then. But I do hang out with my friends A lot have fun but then feel sad all the time... im not sure wats wrong..

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.

rockstar567 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:20 AM

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...

rockstar567 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:34 AM

What do you think will happen..
If the doc doesn't change the med..

J_9 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:37 AM

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.

J_9 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:37 AM

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

rockstar567 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:42 AM

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.

J_9 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:44 AM

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.

rockstar567 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:47 AM

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

J_9 · Jun 17, 2007, 11:54 AM

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.

rockstar567 · Jun 17, 2007, 12:00 PM

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

J_9 · Jun 17, 2007, 12:03 PM

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.

rockstar567 · Jun 17, 2007, 12:14 PM

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

J_9 · Jun 17, 2007, 12:19 PM

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.

rockstar567 · Jun 17, 2007, 12:26 PM

OK. Thanks for your help. I will do that. I will work my hardest in acting & singing in camp. Many strangers come up to me o nthe street & say wow your good at singing so I will work my hardest

J_9 · Jun 17, 2007, 12:27 PM

You do that, you prove them wrong!! Show them just how good you really are. Take pride in yourself!!

You CAN do this. I have faith in you.
