    Desperate. I'm miserable
    This is all a little confusing to explain. Depression has been destroying my life for four years. It's a lot better this year, but my parents do not know anything about it. Not one bit. I'm working with god knows how many counselors and each one is trying to raise this issue in front of their eyes. (Of course, most likely they want me to tell them, and that's a whole separate nerve wracking issue) But, it is very very likely they will know by this summer. I have terrible visions of what will happen once they know. How, how HOW can I overcome this stupid fear? I want them to know but I [I]don't want[I] them to know but they need to know!. I guess my biggest fear is depression starting all over again.
    Help?:( :( :( :( :( (By the way... I'm 14)

    There is a condition called Dysthymia It sounds like what you are dealing with. I have also had some problems with this. i had very good results with WElibutrin XR. I think it is because it is the 24 hour kind it seems to work better. The regular ones would always be fading in and out.
    Do you take and medication for your prob?

    Why no meds? Because I'm scared things will get worse. I've heard that happens. And I I can't go on meds. Without my parents knowing.
