Answer 1

Contact your county/local mental health agency, and find out what help they can offer. Psychological counselling, with a sliding scale, based on income, is available through many religious organisations, such as Catholic counselling, the Methodist church, and the Unitarian Universalists. You don't have to be a member.

View the suggestions on what to do about self harming, in section 16, at ezy-build, below, and contact them, when you feel the need to self harm/cut. There is much information, and useful weblinks on my website: far too much to include here, which is why I needed to create it. Seek therapy, to help you address the actual cause of those problems, rather than using an inappropriate method of treating the symptoms, which others have found, doesn't work, in the longer term, and that leaves behind the extra problem of scarring to deal with, then.

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.

  

Answer 2

You should talk to your schoo guidance counselor. They can help you too.

Answer 3

you can message me if you want, and we can talk.

Answer 4

Sounds like you need to talk to someone, but even if it's not a therapist sometimes it helps to just talk to a good friend that you can trust. There are "help lines" in almost every city these days. Just pick up the phone if you don't have a friend you want to confide in. Can you get involved with a local church? Don't forget there is always someone listening even when you talk to yourself.  

Answer 5

It is so hard to try to help for there isn't a underline problem that I can see in your words other than that you are bothered by something. If you are hurting your self thentheree is alot going and you feel no one can possibly understand.

Try to find strength from with in and use your own thoughts to understand your problem. If you are able to do this then you can work out problems that you have by going through them and really taking the time to understand why you feel that way and one by one you can resolve the issues you have.

It takes alot of courage to stand up for yourself and you feel that you are releasing your pain thru your cutting yourself, you don't really understand why you do it cause after it is over you hide what you have done as shame.  

You are your own person and you feel the way you do because you can't seem to understand your life and thoughts. This road that you are taking isn't you. you are afraid of something that is taking your confidence away from you.

If I had more information I might could help you figure out more, and I am sorry that I can not. If you could find me on the internet I would do all I could to help you. I am Angie_Perkie 71 and I do yahoo. So if that helps tell me more -

Answer 8

You should only tell your very close friends, they can help you through this, I promise.  Talk to your school guidance counselor, he/she is a professional and they can help you out a lot.  Email me if you want at [e-mail]

Try to stop cutting yourself, it's hard but you'll be better off if you stop.

Best of luck! Always remember all of the people that love you!!!!!!

Answer 9

Depression is awful, and I'm sorry that you haven't gotten to see someone yet. This is one of the worst things about not being an "adult" yet-- you can't make health decisions for yourself. But, there are free services available- try the counselor at your school, or a teacher you trust. They will point you in the right direction. Even if you can't see a therapist with the health insurance you have, you can see your regular doctor who can help, and perhaps prescribe a medication that will help.

Take care of yourself; keep advocating for what you need!

Answer 10

Missy, have you sat down with your mom or dad other than to tell them that you want a therapist? Before there were therapists, there were parents. There is no charge, and most of them are much more effective. You are the reason for their existence. Most parents will do anything to have the opportunity to have meaningful conversations with their kids. They have wonderful advice and have had a lot of the same experiences as you, and went through a lot of the same issues when they were young as you are having now.

It is curious: I recently sat down with 5 of my old high school classmates to plan a reunion. Each one of them expressed the anxiety they had in dealing with other classmates when they were in school. And I thought each of them had everything going for themselves at the time: looks, athletic, smart, popular...except for me. I thought I was the social decrepit.

The thing is, teen years are very difficult for most people, no matter what they look like on the outside. It is not because we are nut cases, but because we are growing in reason and wisdom, and wonder and worry about every little thing. In addition, our bodies are growing in ways that we can and cannot see, and we don't realize it.

Stand tall, and take great advantage of your parents. They can  (and will!) be most helpful.

Answer 11

Many good answers here....  I will extend this advice to you.... Are you a religious person?  If you are, pray.  If you are not, pray harder.  It can do miraculous things.  The Lord above loves you more than anyBODY ever could.  Give Him a chance by talking to Him through prayer.  

Best of luck to you and God Bless.

Answer 12

If you really cant afford the therapist, it will be better for your to talk what you feel to a school teacher (if u're a student). I think what you had is called as a depression. You suddenly felt down for a long time and feel like torturing yourself...is it? well thats some of people with depression problem will say (me too). For me, i will talk to the closest friend or siblings to share all my thoughts with them everyday. It doesn't help much at first but after a while you can feel that you can feel bit by bit relaxed for their attention. Not fully recover but helps.

Sorry, i wasn't that educated for this type of sickness but i try as best as i can to help you. Good luck.)
