Feelin' a lil' depressed, to be honest.

I'm only 16, but I feel like I'm 90. Mostly mentally. I've lost interest in a lot of hobbies, find myself not going to friends' parties I previously wouldv'e gone to...the list goes on. The only physical signs I've been having are loss of motivation / energy.

I don't want to speak to a medical proffessional, nor do I wish to talk about this to my parents. I'm sorry, but you can't convince me otherwise. I have brief, fleeting thoughts of suicide, but I quickly put them to rest. Does anyone have any advice on ways to end this phase? Or is it a bit more serious than a phase?

Consult a medical professional. It doesn't matter if you want to or not, its a matter of effectively supressing suicidal thoughts before they become worse. It doesn't hurt to talk to your parents either. I bet they'll try to comfort you and seek out the best solution to your depression. Eliminating these two options won't help you get any better any time soon. You need to pull yourself up and go tell your parents as soon as you can. In fact, if they're within range for you to talk with them right now, I stronly suggest that you log off and go talk to them.

In short: Either tell someone close to you about your situation or consult a medical professional about your suicidal thoughts. No exceptions.

Lol, I'm in shape. That's not really the issue.anonym_mouse

i'm 16 too and i go through the same thing every once in a while.

weight lifting, running, and eating right seems to help me.

^what are you suggesting *(directed @ vash)anonym_mouse

:P Nothing, I was just messing with you, I have serious issues of depression, the best thing when it comes to depression, is to do something you really like, or are interested in, sports are very good for those things, whenever I feel depressed I go out to skate, it helps me feel better. But the thing that never fails me is to go to one of my friends house and go out to talk, see other friends, it's really good. I'm talking about real friends, the one you can talk about every single thing in your life and not feel ashamed, etc. Not the ones that only go to parties, etc.

But please! Get away from depression as fast as you can, it is far more destructive than people think. I have harmed myself so many times because of it.

thanks man, good to see you care somewhat haha, i updated my girl advice thread thing, newest post explains what went down if you have nothing better to do. I'm friend requesting you btw.

You need to get out and explore. Go outside and see the world around you.BranKetra

yeah man a change of enviroment is always good but seriously you should go see a doctor cause you dont wanna spend your life feeling like that

Hit golf balls. Makes me feel better, in addition to the fact it puts me in the sunlight and I'm getting a farmer's tan 8)

Working out helps some too. It depends on how strenuous it is I guess.

Just get up and be active. Go play some sports or go jogging around your neighborhood maybe. If that doesn't work or if you've tried something similar to that, I honestly don't know what else to tell you.TheHimura

lol... you should be a motivational speaker... feeling depressed??? JOG AROUND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD!!! win win win

You are only 16 and feel this way. Wait till you are older and have a plethora of other problems to go along with them. Like feeling the way you do while having to pay a car note, insurance, rent, mortgage, gas, being successful at a job etc etc etc.

Understand how good you have it at the moment and fix yourself before your life really starts being remotely difficult.

One major thing I've found is that you need to change your perspective about how you feel. First realize that you're feeling this way for a reason. There's obviously something in your life that is missing or needs to changed...or maybe it's not so obvious but clearly the status quo needs to be beaten. So instead of getting anxious about your anxiety and low moods understand that they just serve as a signal that something needs to be done and instead of trying to solve it intellectually you need to realize that the only thing that will work is to solve it by DOING. So figure out what you need to do and fix it with your hands instead of your mind.

A depression... You got psychologist at your school. Opening yourself to someone who will never speak to anyone you know about your problems is a good choice.

A therapy only help you notice what you live by yourself. The therapist will not advice you doing anythig beside listening to your concern.
