Depression

[PotBelliedCow]

Hey y'all...just wanted to ask a little favor...

I've been feeling depressed for a few weeks now, and I'm thinking that it might be serious. I've told some of my school friends and they've simply blown it off and told me to "get over it" when I can't. And I can't tell my parents why I'm depressed because that'll only make things worse. I've been wanting to see a doctor but my parents are kind of ignoring my "condition"...I've gotten to the point where I can't really get near any sharp objects and I've started to write out "reasons to kill myself" lists. I've gotten kind of scared...so just pray for me a little please?

Thanks

I won't pray for you a little, I'll make you the intention of every prayer I make throughout the day. Next time you think of hurting yourself, remember that a Mass is being said for you in Phoenix. If I remember correctly you are Catholic. When I was depressed I would spend a lot of time in front of the Eucharist in the tabernacle, and Jesus would always console me there. Please, please find a doctor or psychiatrist to help you with your depression. Know that I am praying for you and I love you very much. If you were to die I would feel a very deep loss.

I will pray for you just not a little but a lot. Hang in there pray everyday about this because this is serious stuff and remember that whole a lot people love you family and friends and they don't want to see you go.

Hey man, don't worry about it okay? Just keep praying to God and keep on. I went through that exact same thing, I was on Zoloft for about five months, then I just got tired of having to rely on medication to help me out, so I went and I just prayed my heart out to God. Well, needless to say I guess, I've only been depressed one time since then, and it wasn't even that bad when I was. So just keep on worshiping God the best you can, and you'll get through it.

EDIT: When I say "man" I mean person, it has no gender meaning.

And we don't know what we'd do without YOU, either! Hang in there, and know that there are many people who love you and are praying for you!

I'll be praying for you as well, but always remember that suicide is just frying pan to fire, and I'm sure I among many people would miss you. The only thing I can suggest is pray and read the Word.

You probably don't want to hear this, but you need to tell your parents. Seriously, if it's this serious you need to tell someone. I never liked visiting a psychiatrist/counselor, but they prescribed me medication, and with that and God, I'm usually a pretty happy-go-lucky person.

Yes, depression runs in my family and I used to have it pretty bad. I would have the urge to hurt myself too - not cutting necessarily, but biting or hitting myself. I also had the urge to break things, especially things that were important or special to me. It's like you're being torn from the inside.

Please understand that there are so many people that care about you, and suicide is a selfish thing to do. But I can tell you are not a selfish person and seem genuinely concerned about yourself, so you will be able to pull through this. We're all praying for you. ^_^

I'll be praying for you. Lean on God in this matter.

Remember, even Solomon was depressed for awhile and he had almost everything a man on earth could want. Read Ecclesiates chapter 3 and take notice of verse 4 "A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance." Being depressed is okay because we can't always be happy. Don't keep it all bottled up inside. If no one will listen, pour everything out to God and cry a little. Crying usually make me feel better actually. Its better than trying to shove my problems aside and pretend they don't exist. Just don't hurt yourself over it.

I'd suggest reading all of Ecclesiates, but make sure you get the messege at the end ^_^

You really need to get the point across to your parents that you need to see somebody. If your friends are blowing it off and telling you to "get over it", then you might want to invest in some different friends...
