    What are some other ways to get over things other then prayer?
    I pray all the time! I pray so I can over come things! But are there other ways other then praying and talking to someone about it? I'm curious!

    It depends on what those things are. There might be actual behaviors you can change in yourself to make a difference.

    Are there times you aren't depressed? When you are doing what?

    Have you been seeing a counselor?

    You've started 7 threads in two days. I believe you are a bored teen. Get a new counselor and do something useful with your free time. Do some volunteer work.

    How often do you see the counselor?

    Have you told him/her that counseling doesn't seem to be helping your depression and that you are still depressed five days a week?

    Make a list of depression-busting activities for during those five days --

    Read a book
    Help someone with learning times tables
    Work on spelling and grammar (lots of online tests)
    Read ahead in textbooks
    Read the poetry by a famous poet such as Emily D!ckinson or William Wordsworth
    Ask someone to teach you how to do something -- bake or cook a simple dish or take apart a carburetor or paint a watercolor/tempera painting

    A app where you can play a game with people. It helps build your vocabulary. You can get it on a phone or IPad. Google it.

    Yea,But the thing is when I read a book it's always sad and when I do things like drawing it relates to something bad that's happened! It's weird! I'm actually in the process of helping my cousin Edina learn English! It's funny to hear her speak English!

    Read happy, positive books.

    Draw scenes or symbols or objects from the Bible.

    That's a good idea! I'm actually trying to find a study Bible and it explain's each verse! I think my Great-Aunt has a Expositor's Study Bible. But it don't explain the verse's!
