Why can't I stop being depressed?

I’m really depressed but I can’t help it. My boyfriend and my best friend has stopped me from commiting suicide. But No1 can help me from being depressed. I’m staying depressed even when I should be happy. What’s wrong with me? Is it just a rough patch? Should I go to the doctor?

Answer #1

You’re 13. Right at the age where hormones, emotions and even the brain start changing. It is natural to be confused and that may help lead to your depression.

The solution is to find someone to talk with. A therapist is the best choice but if that isn’t possible then pick someone like an Advisor on this site and Fun Mail them your questions, no matter how silly or stupid you might think them to be. Use them as a sounding board to express your emotions and feelings. None of US can solve your problems but we might be able to help YOU find the solutions and answers that will work for you.

  If you are having problems or are depressed, below are a couple of sites that may help you:

Answer #3

Just remember… life changes. Sometimes people go through things that they think they can’t get through, but just remember things get better. Obviously you have a friend and boyfriend that care about you. But what matters the most is that you care about yourself.

I would go to the doctor and tell them what has been going on. You may need to be on medicine, which is okay. You also need to figure out what is making you so upset. Figure out how to channel that anger into something else. You are not alone. A lot of people feel like they want to commit suicide. What is different about you is that you realize how you feel and you are looking at ways on how to deal with whatever may be bothering you. You are on the right path and it seems to me that you have so much going for you, the tough patch will end.

Answer #4

First of all… I would like to say that, suicide will NEVER be a solution. Why would you consider commiting suicide? Is there anything to gain from it? Or is it just because your life is pissing you off and you feel as though it’s something you NEED to do. Well I’ll tell you what, what you need to think of right now is. Why did you do it? Why did you want to commit suicide. And if there’s an answer to that then you need to confront the source of it all. You need to let out all of that stress. Only then will your life improve. And… I, too know what it feels like to hate life so much that you’d want to commit suicide. But that’s not the answer and being emo isn’t either. Give up being emo. And try being a normal person with a normal life. That’s what I did, and now I feel… Free. I hope this advice get’s to you, and I hope you follow it.

Answer #5

Suicide Hotlines: 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK or by email http://www.befrienders.org/

Please talk to someone, and yes please talk to a doctor. Depression is an illness (which doesnt make it your fault or something you can help, I mean you can’t prevent colds and infections by will power…) and just like all other illnesses, it can be treated…

Answer #6

Hey, Don’t do stupid things. Talk to your parents they will solve your problems trust me. I’ve had this problem. In the future your life will be better I promise.
