So I don't really know where to start....

Well I have been through a lot within the past 4 years.

I can honestly say I havn't been happy within this time.

I have tryed A TON of diferent things to figure out/ to get passed feeling depressed.

I have tryed to reach out to my family but my mother turns my problems into making me feel bad for her, she will flip my problem and say that her life and her problem is worst. I don't like to compare problems because everybody has similar problem but handle them differently.When I try to tell my father he says that I am perfectly fine and that I don't "need" help.

I have been looking online a researching symptoms that I am experiencing.

- Irritability

- Sadness

- Exhastion/ lack of energy

- Feelings of shame/ guilt

- Mood swings

- Anger

- Excessive sleep

- feelings of emptiness

- difficulty concentrating.

I am honestly just looking for some relief and to resolve my depression.

Are you seeing anybody to get a diagnosis? I would suggest seeing a psychiatrist or a counselor to start off with. It sounds like you need some help.

Take care of you, make an appointment.

Hugs, Karen

Hi Mrs. Feathers.

Sorry you feel so low.  Do you have a diag. of depression?  Are you seeing a doctor?  If not I suggust you start with your family doctor right away, or call a physciatrist asap.   It definantely sounds like you could use some help.  Let us know how you make out.

I have not seeked professional help. I have thought about it and I have even ask my parents to take me but when it comes down to it they will not let me go. When my father found out that I tryed going he told me that I was being over-dramatic and it turned into a huge argument.

MrsFeathers,

You could try talking to a guidance councilor at school or a teacher, coach anyone that you trust.  If you are a church goer, a Pastor or Priest is a good idea too.

So sorry your parents are not willing to help at this point, does not mean they don't love you or won't  help in the future. Take life day by day. 

God Bless you and keep writing here, folks here really do care.

I agree, talk to a school counselor. They can really help you to feel better. It is free too...

In the meantime, try some coping skills to get you through the rough days. Mindfulness.org is a great site to start with and if you look at the top of "depression" forums there are plenty of resources to investigate. Stay proactive and educate yourself on depression until you talk to someone.
It is at least a start. Take care of yourself. Most important, keep posting here, we care and we will listen.
