Are You Depressed?

I know true pain, I've been battling my own darkside for 8 years. Please allow me to help you, let me prevent my pain from becoming yours..let me help you deal with your pain.

You dont want to take my experience seriously?

I think Macki was just enjoying the experience.

-Sighs- Tyrael, have you had professional training to help people? Just because you have "been through a lot" at the age of 16 doesn't mean you are legible to help somebody.

So I dunno lets say .. I am getting bullied at school because of my appearance that I can't help because my family can't afford to buy new things. Also, I am being sexually abused by my stepbrother. What do I do?

^^ what would you do if a 12 year old asked you that question?

Hmm......let's see...........*digs through book*

See an adult you can trust, like a teacher, call special hotlines, Learn KARATE!

look people, anyone can help anyone, okay? do you go to your best friends for help? are THEY specially trained? i thought not. any releif, and any help is useful. i wish that when i was goin thru my tough times i had read this post and knew someone wanted to help people like me. dont bash people for wantin to help the world, thats just wrong.

I'll say this:

When I'm sick, I'll tell my friends how I'm feeling. But I don't expect them to prescribe me anything for me to get better. I go to a doctor. I get a prescription from someone who went to school for a very long time to learn about that sort of thing.

If I were mentally ill, be it a huge disorder like bipolar disorder, or a smaller one (but no less serious) like clincal depression, I'd certainly talk to my friends about it. But when it came to getting it out of the way, I'd want a doctor's help to.

And that's all I have to say in response to the post above, and this thread in general.

in response to sean allen's post... i do agree with THAT. i wasnt talkin huge disorders or anything, i mean that, in general, when someones havin a rough time, like they got raped, someone near to them dies, they start cutting, or are just flat out depressed for some reason, talkin to a close friend/relative helps, because, in my experience, it may be hard to be truthful to a therapist or someone else that you really dont know. i know im not tellin my therapist some stuff about my past, theres some stuff i will only tell people i entirely trust, but im just sayin, that, as i said before, lets not try to bash the people that want to make the world better. theyre just makin up for all the horrid people that got the world in the state its in now.

it is ok for people to help those in need. sometimes it is easier to talk to people u dont know rather than talk to ur friends. trust me on this. i cant talk to my friends about everything because some of those friends tell evry1 and others judge u based on how u feel, and what ur going through. sometimes even profeesional help has the same effect. but u know whats worse than talking. keeping everything inside and not talking like me.

Friends, strangers, whatever. They can't help you. I know that. I've been through that.

If you want help, Don't complain about it to your friends, actually go get some professional help. Works alot better. =) ..And, I wasn't trying to offend anyone or start arguements.

^^

Unless your friend, or that stranger was a doctor :P

Ha! True! Lol..

Well I don't knwo what he meant but I can understand him saying he was their to listen to neone and why can't he give advice if that person decides to take that advice is their choice

^^^^
Because no one is looking for his advice. lol. It seems that the only people who are here are people either against what he is saying or defending him. Oh well...

Are you quite through? Look, anyone who does not want my help, please leave now. I am qualified, I've saved lives before, and I am 16. Tell me, how many 16 year olds do you know are qualified to become a professional pyschologist?

i had a phycologist.....he kept asking me loads of stuff and i just didnt want to talk to him-didnt feel i could trust him with my words.

i do however trust my doctor and tell her everything that gets me down.

only my best friend and this sight know i was sexually abused though...(by my brother).

havent and wont tell anyone else about that, was hard enough to tell my best friend-took soooo many years to get enough courage to tell her!

*so how would you help me? since i suffer from depression-although not a manic depressive*

october xx

I am not depressed, today.

hey id love someone to talk too, i help alot off people out on this site, but i aint had any help from anyone. i got really badly beaten and sexually abused by my uncle from the age off 8 it only stopped last year and im 17 i have a boyfriend he nose about it, but i cant trust him no matter how much i love him. any advice? xx

Without trust in a relashoionship I think personally you have nothing.. If you want to talk to me, PM me. I was sexually harassed. And I felt no one beleived me and still think ppl don't or don't want to because his dad works at my school.. Well if neone wants to talk i will listen.

You people, oi vea. If you want help, e-mail me. I cant help you here.

Yep.
