Dude eskimo guy is right.
Whats so wrong with seeing a doctor? Athough one might not like to feel probed and looked into it is their job as Psyciatrists and Psycologists and Psycoanalyists to been knowledgable about emotions and the workings of the brain, and they too have to go to years of their own psychoanalysis.

Who cares if you're chubby, maybe thats because you are, but you can do something about it. Go to the gym get outside, dont spend all your time moping around.

Expecially when you are growing up and around 14-18 you wonder what is beautiful and what others find attractive, I will say right now that there are so many people out there who look for inner beauty that is reflected in your outer appearance and that you have too look for what you find beautiful in a woman (or guy) and look for people. When you are depresed you feel like no one will find you beautiful but go out there and try and prove it then, the worst case senario you trvaeled around meeting people your whole life, an adventure, best case senario you meet people and have love

and if you do all these things and life still sucks, try some medication. Antidepresants arent f**king meth, they are to anti-depress people. Some people who are depressed have unbalanced chemical exchanges in their brain, and antidepresants like SSRI's (selective seritonin reuptake inhibitors) take the molecule of seritonin that creates joy, and makes it register normally, if it has fallen below the normal amount.

Mabey a young woman is gaining weight, that is totally fine you are changing and at 16 are not going to be the same weight as when you are 21. I personally prefer a real woman not a twig, yo.

And shut the f*ck up nicksy from Malta, plenty of depressed people know they are, so just shut the f*ck up.
your mind is like a computer, if you dont want to feel like this then you wont, thats a sign that your just doing this for attention. but your doing this unintentionally, meaning your doing it without even knowing you are.
That doesn't even make sence, are you a doctor? Some times people cannot controll the way they feel, humans are not like computer computers do not have emotions to deal with. And we know what unintentionally means, we speak english, unlyke u!!1! If someone thinks they their next door neighbor is hot, they he is to them. You cant tell people how they feel, ergo depressed people can say they feel depressed.

If You dont like your life, try to change it you always can, get new friends, the old ones arent always the best, mabey they were depressing you.
And I would not turn to religion for clinic depression because that is a philosophy not a medicine. The 'Jesus Juice' only works for the normal teenage depression (discovering of self and the interactions with the world and their universe/reality).

Do these posts on funadvice.com even get read?
Oh well, the best of luck.

ok first of all how old are you?? second of all, do you have many friends? trust me you arent depressed. tests like that are jack shit! those tests only come negative so that u'd go to a psychologist... all for money! I asked if you have friends because friends give you attention. calling urself ugly and hating urself is just being selfish, its a way of getting attention from every1. thirdly you should open up and say wats going on in your life. if your 1 of those people that is asked for advice, your probably taking your friends problems and making them your own. well you shouldnt! you shouldnt carry them on your back, you should put them under your arms so when your tired you can put them down for a minute and then pick them up again. if your a woman, it could just be your hormones or period. what you call a depression could just be stress and tension. people who are depressed dont know that they are depressed. sounds stupid but true. the worst you can do is keep on saying to urself im depressed, im depressed otherwise you will end up depressed! your mind is like a computer, if you dont want to feel like this then you wont, thats a sign that your just doing this for attention. but your doing this unintentionally, meaning your doing it without even knowing you r. hope this helped and hope your not just being selfish and pittying urself.

yours truely

Like the person before me asked..How old are you?? Once again same question..Do you have many friends..Not tko say you don't have any. But like, thoes tests are bullshit, they don't mean anything. Love is drifting away.? Never. Love is all around, you just have to want it,Don't give up in other words. Don't hate yourself..that always leads to something bad..if you im me at BlueEyedBabie403 I could tell you things from my past experinces.But your beautiful the way you are..Even if people say something different. FUCK THEM aaha. Now..hating your family is a little much, it would depend why you hate them..if they're abusive then I could see that, but other things I'd have to check into..so i could help you with that. the trusting get a closest friend to help you out, but one that you know won't tell a singal soul. I've helped afew people out on here already I haven't told anyone about peoples problems on here. If they want to know what people talk about on here. I tell them to get an account. But if you don't have anyone to tell at all you can tell me I sware I wouldn't tell a soul. So if you need anyone. I'm here for you. I know that I don't know you, but I know I was put on earth to help people, its what I'm best at.
So just remeber im here!
Much love 3

Everybody feels depressed every once in a while.If your in your teenage years, it can be especialy hard to feel beautiful and feel like you fit in, not to mention get along with your family. Depression tests on the internet can be dangerous because most of the times they are put there by pharmaceutical compagnies trying to get you hooked on their drugs. Though you might be depressed, it doesn't mean you can't overcome your depression by taking steps. It really helps to open up to your closest friends or family members because they care for you and mostly want to help you feel better. It's also normal to be scared because sometimes we feel that we can't control our emotions. It's also scary to think that we might open up to someone and not be understood. The truth is, we have to learn to know ourselves and learn to trust poeple who have prooved that they care for us. There's different ways to deal with depression. Sometimes we need to give ourselves the right to be a bit sad and cry especialy if something difficult has happened like loosing someone we love or moving to a new city. Facing sadness can help us release emotions that are caught up inside us and makes us feel better afterwards. Other times, we can be depressed because we feel lonely, the best remedy to this is forcing yourself to get out of your house and see poeple, go visit them even if you don't feel like it because it helps to be with poeple even if we don't talk about our problems. Maybe they'll make you laugh or help you forget your problems for a while. Another good way to feel better is by doing excercise because this can bring our stress levels down and help us feel fit. Try to understand the root of some of your problems (i.e.:like not get along with family) and try to take positive actions to solve them (i.e.:sit down and talk to them). Do things that make you feel good like excercise, watch your favorite movie, listen to your favorite songs, etc. Reach out to those that care like friends and family. Obviously, you need to learn to love yourself and be kind to yourself. Instead of telling yourself negative things, be your own best friend and every time you have a negative thought, imagine it positive and encouraging. It's easy to get caught up in our own heads, telling ourselves things that only bring us down. Get out of bed and do stuff, don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself. If all these things don't help there is always the possibility of talking to someone exterior that can give us tricks and helps us understand like social workers, psychologists or special hotlines. They are there to listen and help us. Sometimes opening up to a stranger can be easier. Know that there are many things that you can do to get over depression and that it is normal to feel it every once in a while. We aren't robots without feelings. It is in the worst moments that we learn the most about ourselves which helps us to be happier and healthier beings.

i know how you feel there is alot to be depressed about in this world! and what we can read about on line and see or expearance, is probably just the tip of the ice berg. i think that the people who realize life sucks are the people who are the nicest. we generaly feel more then the average person, because we are more sensitive. and i dont know but i think people that get depressed are the artist's and creative population. some of the world best art and music have come from missery. because every one must let it out other wize it eats us alive. here are some ways you can help your self with out telling anyone. make a difference in people or animals lives that are worse off then you but guard your self becasue they can depress you more looking at how horrible their lifes are. but REALIZE that if off your self who will help them then? search on line for abuse victims write a letter to them or the authorities telling how you hate abuse and want them to increase punishments for nasty people. use your big heart to help the world, and perhaps realize that thats maybe why you are here. also investigate Jesus prove or disprove to your self about him. how will this help? i cannot tell you its something you must investigate for yourself.

I know how you feel. I was in the same situation, but my son is trying to get me to open up to him. He said that I was not along I have him and his brother. My daughter is also giving me support now. It helps. Don't hide, talk to someone in your family or a good friend. Good luck to you, I know what you are going through. Hang in there you are not alone.

If you cannot get through to your Doctor, print what you have just said above and give it to him to read. There are other medications out there other than prozac. I took prozac and all it did for me was to make me sleep night and day, this medication is not working for you. You should see your Doctor and tell him so he can find the right medication for you. No, people do not think you are a joke. Depression is dangerous, believe me I know you have just described to me what I have been through. Dead is not the answer, talking to your Doctor with no holds barred is the answer. Think about your wife and son. Can you talk with your wife about how you feel, I know she already knows. Please get help you are not along in these feelings. Talk loud and clear to your Doctor and do not say I'm fine when he asks how is the medication is doing for you.

yes i will try but i just cant pluck up the corage no more

Try Wellbutrin. Worked for me! Like night and day!

Hey my names bernard and Im 14
My life sucks, I can't trust anyone really. in 5th i lost my best friends and they where the only ones that care and now that they left I felt empty. After that I told myself it is cool, I can make throught with this. then...life started to get worse I started failing my grades, everyone started to make fun of me and my parents really don't care. The girl I love...just doesn't care anymore. I thought my life is going to hell. I tryed everything, even religion. but the more i try the worse it gets. Now im in highschool and I can really do anything, I never smile anymore and im afraid that i'll do something i'll regret

Hi everyone. Im a Femal, 16 years young and was loving life.
I have many many freinds and they do some to me with their problems but i do not make them my own. i have few to no ememys at school and my grades are average. my father is nice and suportive, tho at times it is hard to express myself to him. I have a step mom who i have no bond wiht but i am ok wiht that, i expect it to grow soon.
My mother lives far away but we keep intouch and i love her. my only sister is far away also. But i still talk to her very often.
My family has its line of cronic depression and my grandma, mother and aunt. are all Bipolar.
I have been down i nthe dumps like everyone and have gotten over it.
But latley i have these emoutions i cant explain, they are extremly overwhelming and i cant think striaght or pinpoint the problem.
All i want to do is lay in my bed with my big ape stuffed animal and look out my window.
I feel as tho im gaining weight. So now im on a diet, which is making my feel unconfrontable with my body. im tired but cant sleep, and i have the new habbit of obitting my nails and shaking my leg. I dont even wanna talk to my freinds or go to school, iv been trying to find any reason not to go. This of course is upsetting my father.
I cant talk to my dad about this becuase he thinks im just trying to get outa school
My freinds might think im trying to get attention and i dont wanna even test that.
my school cousler is a comlete idiot, and im sorry but would give me no good advice.
I tryed to talk to my mother but the only thing she suggested was asking my father to let me see a docter.

Im scared, confused and feel as if im losing myself.

This is long but please HELP.

Hey Danika, well, first of all, I'm sorry I can't leave you a mail or something, but I'm not a member of this site, I just kinda found my way into this web site while searching for the deffinition of pittying yourself because I told someone to stop it and I'm in an argument with them and... well, whatever.

My name's Nick, nickname's Eskimo, and I'm 17, and I don't know if I can but I'll try to help you... or at least let you know that other people who are usually perfectly fine go through similar things.

Well, I've been through depression before, as well as experiencing some wierd mental things that come with no real explanation, kind of like your leg-shaking/nail-bitting thing. In my first year in high school I actually went through a pretty srong depression, mostly because of my image (thought I was fat and ugly). I actually thought of and came pretty close to comitting suicide a couple of times, thinking that people either didn't really care, didn't understand, hated me, would be better off, etc etc etc. The point is that durring this whole time, I would either act like nothing was going on or just not talk verry much around my friends, and that was actually very stupid of me. If you don't say anything, it only cultivates any negative feelings you have about yourself and eventually tricks you into thinking that they are true and that there's nothing you can do about it. Maybe people won't understand you 100%, but everyone knows what it's like to feel sad, stressed out, or a little not-in-control (for lack of better word...).

Hell, chances are no-one will understand 100% because no-one has the same mentality, but don't fret, millions of people have gone through similar experiences and gotten through it their own way, many in a much worse condition than you. Now it's one thing to get over a depression, it's another thing to get over those wierd moments when you'r doing something and you don't know, or uderstand, why your doing it. I used to have this thing where randomely Id'e start freeking out and get really adgitated for no foreseeable reason, and it would really scare me, terrify me even. I thought I wwas going crazy and I had no idea how to stop it. I had this or about a week without knowing what to do about it and then I realized that all I had to do was to not think about.. well pretty much not think about thinking. I was thinking too much, worrying too much about my problem and it would just worsen it. A quick solution was to just turn on the tube and sit on my couch, forcing myself to not think of anything but what was happening on the TV. The feeling would pass and eventually I stoped having it. If I was at school I would just ask if I could go to the bathroom and instead just use that time to walk around the school and calm myself, maybe get a drink of water. It helped me, and maybe it would help you... but you might have to find your on thing. Don't freak out about finding it, and don't freak out if it takes a while... the less you think of your problem (including it's solution), the easier it will be... just try to chill.

Now, there's nothing wrong with feeling a little odd about your body or atractiveness, or bitting your nails, or shaking your leg for that matter. There's also nothing at all wrong with lieing gown with your gorilla and staring out the window. Hell, I grab a pillow and stare out the window practically every day, it helps me relax and I enjoy it actually. I think all that's wrong is that perhapse your being a bit analitical about what your doing, ie: bitting nails and shaking leg. People do that all the time. Maybe your just a little hypersensative right now, maybe some stress buit up in you without you noticing or there's a bit of tension that you havn't noticed (step mom bonding, or lack there of, might be affecting you without you even noticing). Don't worry about it, in fact that's exactly what you should do, nothing. Just chill whenever you have the chance. If these things didn't bother you before, than they can stop bothering you again, whether you stop doing them or not. You just have to stop thinking about it and and instead try to, as they say, stop and smell the flowers. As far as talking to your dad, you should at least tell him that your feeling wierd and that it's gennuine, and that your dealing with something wird and that although it's hard to explain or comprehend (someone that isn't experiencing or has never experienced it might say something like well, just stop doing it), tell him you just need his suppost and love for now, and that getting alarmed might just make it worse. Tell him you'll tell him if you need help.

Now, I got through my thing with the help of some friends and my girlfriend, who actually gave e the idea of just chilling. It has nothing to do with the fact that she's my girlfriend, in fact at first she just bitched at me because she thought I got it from talking to a depressed friend, so go figure. It had more to so with the fact that once she got over that, all she wanted to do was help me, and that I trusted her. Tell a friend you trust and if you don't have one, you can email me at (eskimothegreat@yahoo) if you want to, although I have to warn you, I check my email like once every two days, so you might have to wait till the next day.

Oh, and about consulting a doctor, that's up to you. I got through it with the help of my friends and a very caring girlfirend (who could might as well been a close friend because we were friends for about a year and a half before we started going out), and all you might need is a caring friend or sister to listen to your concerns. My friend, on the other hand had a much more difficult mental thing and had to go to a doctor. It was really hard for him and it took him a while, but he's over it now, and doing great, he's actually a lot more cheerful (not because of drugs, he's been off meds for months).

So I guess for now, just try and relax and not worry about it, as well as talk to people about it. If it gets way too out of hand you might have to go to a doctor, but don't make too much of that, having a little problem with your thoughts or having a bit of trouble with your mind should be thought of the same as catching a cold, or getting sick. You caught it because of your environment, and there's nothing wrong with you. If you need help getting rid of it or just dealing with it, it's just like using mediine to help get over a cold, k.

Well, I doubt I've been much help and I'm sorry if I went a bit overboard in my writing... I tend to do that. Hope you feel better, and just try to keep your chin up, k!

From a caring human being,
Eskimo

PS: About you and your worrying about worrying about yourr body, don't, everyone feels a little wird about their bodies, whether they feel their too tall, short, skinny, chuby, musculy (believe me, there are people who feel too muscly), or not muscular enough. And as far as dating goes, there's always going to be someone who thinks your perfect and beautiful. I'm not exactly in peak condition, and I consider myself a bit chuby, and not really that atractive. Well, I'm going out with a really hot, slovakian/french, green eyed blond haired, intelligent and beautiful girl who loves me like crazy and gennuinely cares for me ( I had a small suicidal thought because of massive amounts of work and she went crazy and told me that she would have no idea what she would do without me and made me promise that I would see the counselor if I ever felt that way again, all while crying). So don't worry about your looks, diets suck, and just try to eat good food but in moderation. A diet usually fails because people try to eat no good food whatsoever (tasty fat good food I mean), and that's impossible. You would be amazed at how much 30 situps a day will do for you...

dont believe what they say its right to be yourself find ways to relax the important thing is to be yourself and find ways to realy find out who you are express yourself make your own quiz than take it see if you are who you think you are thats the most important thing you should worry about ask people you realy trust i bet you have people you trust on this website or talk to your best friend im sure they can keep a secret just be yourself.

If you are depressed please get help, I suffered from depression when I was 18, took an overdose and nearly died, dont get to that stage!

well, do you at least have something you like in life? you should figure out what makes you happy and stick to it. you should also spend time with your friends. if you don't have any friends you could always make some.
