How do I deal with depression?

Question

I'm in yr 10, for my whole life people have told me i have plenty of potential if i only tried, however, i find it so hard to focus on anything I'm not obsessed with like commerce or modern history. the i like to make music, write plays, read, i find it difficult to make relationships (with girls, I'm a guy) I I am as polite as i can be with everyone, i don't like stereotyping (got a cool haircut that people call emo) thats the only thing that angers me apart from be being irrational and not listening to me when i know i have the right advice. i get angry over stupid things sometimes, i cannot finish assignments on time, i don't cohere with punctuality and i hate my parent, who thinks she knows every iota of my personality, i hate guidelines, set due dates, social events, stupid people, things/people/ideas that aren't logical, arrogance, i don't normally say things like this often but i sometimes want the whole world to just turn into a place where things were more clearly set out in front.

Answer 1

Lach, I know.  You're still very young, and so is everybody else in your class.  Just live it out and by yourself.  Who cares if someone stereotypes you?  I know that's hard, but if you are just yourself and not anything else, people can't help but like you.  Try not to look down on people, that's all I have to say.  Don't think bad thoughts about people, it can only backfire at you.

Is this depression you’re talking about? Sounds more like various angers to me! Fact is you’re in the age of adolescence, a step before getting to be a young adult. Physical, mental and emotional changes are running rife in you. You’re developing the unique identity that may help you stand out in a crowd.

Preferences, goals, motivations are clearly different from the generation(s) ahead. For example, it’s characteristic of youth to want to demolish all that seems old, orthodox and stereotypical and create a new, progressive world order of freedom from constraints. Young people take in and retain negative information far more than they do positives, because they find it soothing. They see time as limitless. They’re into accumulation of knowledge and explorations into the unknown. They’re attracted by novelty. Emotionally satisfying relationships are not at all on the radar...does that sound like you?

The first thing you need to do is get some professional help that's very important don't take depression lightly

Sweety, you just sound like a teenager trying to find his way in the world. I went through the same thing and I still feel and understand some of the ideas that you're talking about. I always ask why everyone can't be more logical, like Spock from Star Trek. =P And I also hate stupid.

You sound like you're more on the arts side of thinking, so it's hard to concentrate on things like commerce. I'm the same. You just have to try your best. It's all anyone can ask of you.

Sadly, we live in a society and there are some things you must conform to so you can live a life without this angry feeling. It sucks but you'll understand more and more that it's 'just the way it is' as you get older and you'll accept it. Unless you become a radical revolutionary, which would be cool.

Good luck. X
