Sadness

ok, basically I have depression, like really freaking bad, I got the courage to tell a psychiatrist, and she offered me meds, but guess what my mom wont let me try them, and that makes me really frustrated, and I probably wont even be able to see the god...

dang counsler, because its at a native clinic, full of drunk indians complaining about every little thing. How do I handle this?I need help now, not in 4 months, I dont know how much more I can handle. Please help

Hi, I'd love to chat with you and cheer you up. Send me a private message.

Well if things are really that bad you can always call one of the hotlines that are advertised on TV and also in the phone book. Being depressed is not about how you feel it's about a chemical imbalance that's going on in your brain and that's not something you can control. Maybe you should call a hotline and have them talk to your mother. Maybe they can try to get her to understand that this is not something that you can just snap out of.

I wish you the best of luck and remember that there is always someone out there who is willing to help, but you have to be willing to put yourself on the line to get there

        Simply a Rose to brighten your day,
        And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
        And also, too, to help you to know,
        That in knowing you, many others grow!

Jaes, don't be afraid to pick someone on here and use them as a sounding board. It may help a little between visits with your therapist or counselor.

Don't give up. I haven't noticed you on here much lately. You're probably spending too much time dwelling within yourself instead of branching out and helping the rest of us with answering the many questions. You have a lot to offer. Don't sell yourself short.
