adolescent depression ?
Q.Most adolescent depression is caused by a reaction to an event---a poor grade, the loss of a relationship---rather than a biochemical imbalance....Feeling blue after not getting into one's first-choice college is as appropriate as feeling happy after scoring a winning touchdown. But many adolescents who experience depression for the first time don't realize that it won't last forever.
A.Right..itīs just that 30% all depressions are CHRONIC.... Join the fucking club...my so called depression has lasted for 7 long dark years..Iīm so fucking tired of this shit. When I was 16 I started to be an passive, bitter misanthropic human.. not passive in the way that Iīm a coward I never take shit from other peopleīs in life..my self-confidence is pretty good to i think Itīs just that I donīt have the strength to "engage" in things, Iīm always tired and SO fucking bored ..havent got the desire to engage in "normal" peoples discussion or life for that matter, it doesnt interest me they are PATHETIC. I still have my "fucked" up friends, they are few but they understand me, we all understand each other. 2 have died just a handfull left. Iīve eaten every single anti-dep pill there is but nothing gets better I just get more bitter more misanthropic more aphatic.. Doctors canīt help me. The last years iīve started to medicate with amphetamine. Why? Cause Iīm a weak human being that canīt stand this state of mind. Iīve tried 7 fucking years to get out of this pig like behaviour. I canīt go on any more. family and friends donīt have the strength to see me torture myself this way and I agree..THIS I will do for my family.. I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling like this. I know, b/c I can relate to you like you wouldn't belive. I'm 20, have been feeling like this since 13, been on 5 different anti-depressants in the past year, and my family and "friends" just dont understand me AT ALL!!!!!! It totally sucks and I feel so alone. It's still hard to stop cutting, but when someone sees it (like my mom), she makes me feel even more guilty than i already am!!! It just really sucks to be feeling this way. I hope for the best of you, adn your meds start working. PLEASE hang in there. I know this may sound hypocritical, but have faith that things will get better. I try to tell this to myself, but even though i sometimes think im kidding myself, i'd rather see other people like me live.
