I'm 14, Severly Depressed, And Need Help! Posted: 08-14-07 14:17pm
Hi, I'm new here and I just joined so that
I could ask a few questions. My mom died
almost three years ago and since then I've
been experiencing depression along with
many other symptoms which affect my
everyday life. I'll just get right to it
and list them all:
Depression
Anxiety
Mood-swings
Uncontrollable anger
Fits of rage
Frequent/worsening obsessive-compulsive
habits
Occasional panic attacks
Occasional suicidal thoughts
Occasional paranoia
Feelings of detachment and separation from
people
Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness
I know that's a lot of things to list, and
you're probably thinking that I just
listed every little thing that sort of
bothers me. But I assure you, each of
those symptoms is recurring and affects my
daily life. I feel like I really need
help, or else I don't know what might
happen. I occasionally see a therapist but
that's not doing much. I'm not the kind of
person that thinks every little problem a
person has needs to be treated with pills,
but I'm pretty sure I need to be on some
kind of meds. What do you guys think? Do i
need to be prescribed something, and if so
what would it be?
Thanks!

well... I dont really believe on drugs, if
dr. says you have to then, maybe.
otherwise avoid them. they end up screwing
you up from the inside.
