I have environmental depression (having an episode, need advice on getting over it)?

Question

I'm a senior in High School and I'm suffering from an episode. School just started and it's ALREADY affecting my school work as well as attending, and my home-life. (Hence why I'm on here instead of being at school.) I'm not sure what to do. My mother could care less if I graduate or not, but I know I'm better than that.

I'm not sure what to do, I'd like someone to talk to but none of my friends, even my own boyfriend, understand. And I understand that, it's pretty hard to explain and for them to understand if they don't know anything about depression, really. I kinda feel like I'm talking to a brick wall.

So, I guess what I'm asking is what are ways to get over this episode considering that I have no one to talk to about it except for myself and God.

I'm going to go get Starbucks later. I do colorguard (dance/flag) for my school and I have practice for 4 hours, 30 mins later today so that will help me get my mind off of it for a bit.

But other than that, I have nothing.

On top of this all, my mother is constantly going off on me saying that there is nothing wrong with me, and that I'm stupid. I want to slap her and tell her how stupid SHE is but that wouldn't do any good. (Haha. At least I have some humor in all of this.)

  There are many things you can do to help treat your depression.

Moderate exercise for at least 20 - 30 minutes, daily, and up to an hour. Brisk walking is good, and try to be mindful of the feeling your foot makes as it hits the ground: it is a relaxation technique. Also use daily, one of the relaxation methods in sections 2, 2.c, 2.i, or 11, and/or yoga, Tai Chi, and/or the EFT, in sections 2.q, 2.o, and section 53, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris whichever works best for you.

Take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily: (certified free of mercury) it is best if consumed with an antioxidant, such as an orange, or grapefruit, or their FRESHLY SQUEEZED juice. If vitamin E is added, it should be certified as being 100% from natural sources, or it may be synthetic: avoid it. Also take a vitamin B complex which is certified as being 100% of natural origin; a deficiency in vitamin B9 (folic acid, or folate) is known to cause depression. Around 30% - 40% of depressed people have low vitamin B12 levels. Depressed females using the contraceptive pill may benefit from vitamin B6 supplements.

Occupational therapy (keeping busy allows little time for unproductive introspection, and keeps mental activity out of less desirable areas of the brain). As options, if desired, either a known, effective herbal remedy, such as St. John's wort, (the strength varies, but the supplier should be using a standardised hypericin content, so follow the directions) or supplements, such as SAMe, or Inositol (from vitamin and health food stores, some supermarkets, or mail order: view section 55 at ezy-build ).

Initially, at least, some form of counselling, preferably either Cognitive Behavio(u)ral Therapy, or Rational Emotive Behavio(u)ral Therapy. Co-counselling is shown in the first 3 pages of section 2, or online therapy, or even talking with someone you feel comfortable with, and a much more detailed post is on page R.

Visit your school counselor, but no more than once weekly is best, except in emergencies, and use the depression chatsites, and see teen resources, on the first page of section 13, and page K (free US calls).

Not too much coffee, or sugar: both cause highs, and then lows follow! One cup of full strength, daily, after which decaf is best, preferably sweetened with xylitol, or stevia, from health food stores, or fruit sugar, such as Fruisana, from supermarket sugar & health food aisles: NEVER ASPARTAME OR SUCRALOSE!!!

Answer 4

Coping with depression can be challenging. Depression makes it hard to engage in the behavior and activities that may help you feel better. Talk to your doctor or therapist about improving your coping skills, and consider these tips to cope with depression:

Stay focused on your goals. Recovery from depression is an ongoing process. Stay motivated by keeping your recovery goals in mind. Remind yourself that you're responsible for managing your illness and working toward your goals.

Join a support group for people with depression so that you can connect to others facing similar challenges.  These people will be able to relate to what you are talking about.

Answer 5

An 'episode' are you kidding me? This all part of the 'story' you've been fed by shrinks. Have you ever had any proof that you have a real disease? no. No doctor has ever seen  inside you brain yet you alter you brain with chemicals not found in nature. You are in danger of some serious things occurring if you continue to believe psychiatry's lies.

Depression is sorrow and confusion and feeling  like life is bad. Life isn't bad, you need to realize you are spinning on a rock in the middle of space taking trips once a year around the sun. What some clown says about you at school is something that pales into insignificance, you will live 80 plus years and meet thousands of interesting people and see some wonderful things. Do not get stuck in this pathetic rut.

You have free will. A phantom brain disease is not controlling your thoughts. You have no evidence of this, nor does your fraudulent 'doctor' who dishes out dangerous chemical lobotomies to you.

If your brain was clear of the sludge antidepressants you burden its natural workings with you'd feel clarity. You really ought to at least start demanding evidence that someone can prove you have a 'chemical imbalance' and when you think back, no one took a blood test or an MRI so how do they know? they don't. It is guesswork, ans guesswork is NEVER GOOD ENOUGH REASON TO START MUCKING WITH THE WAY YOU SEE REALITY WITH MIND ALTERING  DRUGS.

You will shorten your life and have a dull, blunted existence if you continue down this track of fraudulent lies.
