What is the best cure for stress and depression?

Really bad depression, please help?

  • I am 15 years old and I have been really...depressed lately. I think I have depression, since it runs in the family (dad and my dad's mom), but my mom said that it was because I was 15. Something to do with my hormone levels gone wack. Anyways, I have been looking at things all strangely. Things I once shrugged off are now beating me up. Such as I am always the kids that "no one wants around, but no one doesn't want around." People don't care if I'm there. A person will only talk to me if I talk to them. Girls will hug my friends and all, look at me, say bye, then walk off without second thoughts. I always thought that that was how my life was going to be: I just sit back and enjoy the ride, and I'm fine with that. But lately, I've been thinking to myself "If they don't care, why am I even here?" I started to think what everyone's life would be like without me. It sounded better... When I was born, I was supposed to die. I had a terrible birth defect and for some reason God let me live. My mom said that He must have done that for a reason. Maybe I will save someone's life. Maybe I will find a cure for something, but for some reason, God let me live. To this day, I haven't found out what that is, and lately it seems like there is no reason. If I was gone from this Earth, other than my relatives, no one would seemed affected in a negative way. Basically, one of the only things keeping me optimistic was that one reason God kept me alive, and I'm very curious as to what that reason is. So far, nothing, even the smallest thing, hasn't popped up. This is very depressing to think about: that your life has had no impact on anyone for your first 15 of your life. I play guitar, am on the cross country team, so I run, and that's how I normally get rid of stress and tension, but it seems to have no affect after I stop. OTHER THAN SMOKING, how can I stop being so depressed. (Of course, I'm typing this very pessimistically, sorry)

  • Answer:

    well i don't know if this will help, but if god let you live then you have to be special. Maybe it will go away.

Depression sucks. Find someone to talk to. Exercise is good, carry on with that. I know its all easier said than done, as I've had depression since I was about 13 also. My best best friend is incredibly depressed and Bulimic at the moment, and its hard watching him go on this downward spiral. For goodness sake, talk to anyone, parents, friends, teachers, counsellers! Get help man.

omygod. i feel you. i get depressed too. school sucks. but what can we do? there are people who care out there in this world. especially your parents. even though it may not seem like you're important, you are. and who knows...maybe one day you'll mean the world to someone. you just have to wait and see. life has a lot of rough spots. god let you live, so you should count that as a blessing. some people aren't even able to understand what they were meant for in life. the truth is, every single living person was meant to breed babies and then die. but since we are so technologically advanced, people don't believe that's what we are here in life for. i don't know if i'm making sense. just try getting the best of life. you don't have to overwork yourself to get rid of the stress. talk to people, tell them how you feel. sometimes its good for people to vent. do something fun to make you forget the stress. you could watch movies, play games, or whatever that will make you forget school and such. or you could sleep. (: that always helps. be optimistic..haha...i hope this helped...eh.

1. as soon as you get better, and you will, ditch the smoking. if you are smoking weed, concentrate on breaking that crutch or you will always be handicapped. 2. accept the natural state of enduring some pain everyday. sometimes it lasts a while. the answer to having a decent life is very, very simple but many of us insist on making it complicated. clean up your act, get strong and endure the bumps and bruises of life. get clean and strong. if you don't, expect things to erode.

Listen to your mother---you are definitely here for a reason. You are only 15 years old, so you may not realize what the reason is. Whatever you do, do not give up!! Sounds like you may be slightly depressed. Being a teenager is tough for most...we all deal with insecurity and finding our nitch. On top of that you say you have a defect, so things will be harder for you, but in the long-run it will serve to make you a stronger person. Take control of your thoughts, you control your destiny---not what other people think, or what you think they think. Do the things you enjoy and find happiness where you can. Practice thinking positive thoughts. Stop looking for validation from friends and find it from within. Five years from now, those people won't even matter to you. It may take a while to change your perspective but work on it and if necessary get some help. You will realize your purpose, but when you do, be ready to embrace it. That means that you'll have to start being more positive. Best of luck to you!!

None of us really mean anything on this earth. A tree provides more than any of us do on a daily basis. Your goals in life should be to make something of yourself. Because when you're gone, you're right - no one will care, the earth still spins and rotates around the sun. So make something of your life - be a tree :)

okayy i didnt read the whole thing because im really sick and need to sleep lol but i have really bad depression too.. i recomment getting a countsoler.. they help soo much and im sorry if somewhere in yuor story you typed that lol my other friend has realllly bad depression too and she sees a psych and her doc presribed her some pills which she said helps her sooo much =] smoking is NOTTTT the answerrr hope this helpps =]

Quit smoking would be the first suggestion.......that screws up your blood sugar levels.......it makes you think your up.......but the truth of it is .......it will just keep dumping you back down. That running your doing is great...At you age one of the great things you can do. First new thought is this:" I do not allow myself to think that way". Say this at least once a day for 30 days, and it will be with you. 2nd: Your talking about God........If you really believe?........ He said this: "I will never leave you or forsake you!" 3d...He said: I will never give you more than you can bear.....If so, I will always provide a way out. 4th...Man's version is this: All moods will cease or change. Learn these and write them on paper and carry them with you.....and read them once a day when needed.Music is a great pleasure for some....but it can take you down or up depending on what your playing and singing.......stay as level as you can. Be the person you are, not something somebody thinks you should be.......your peers will lead you astray......do not compare yourself to them......you will only become "vain and bitter" . Who are you? And what do you want to be? Get off you bottom and start preparing to do it. Read the things you enjoy.......get an old jeep and fix it up(buy one with good metal)Find something you like and do it. Exercise is beautiful, weight lifting is good......stay away from junk food, junk movies,junk music,and bad people......work is great, not to much sugar, and lots of water. Clean it up. Atkins diet is a great diet for depression.....lots of protein, not sugar. At your age you wouldn't have to hold to it......but the less sugar probably the better you will feel. I wish you all the best, try and change your thinking a little at a time......your Mom is right.....there is a purpose for you here.....you have to find it and follow your dreams. With love..... chop!
