Overcomming depression

[djm2995]

This depression just makes me want to sleep and never wake up for the rest of my 'life'. I primarily feel dead on the inside and I guess my body just wants to sleep as if I was dead.

Depression can do that, and you are not alone in feeling that way. It makes everything harder to do, and I am so sorry you are going through this! Good job reaching out for support online. Was there something that triggered the depression, or has it been a slow decline into the fog? Sometimes being overwhelmed can bring it on, even if it's something good- for me this time it was a move. Do you have support IRL, a dr you can talk to?

I feel the same, just tired of being sad that I feel better when I sleep, at least I can't suffer

All things pass, good and bad. Think on it......

But I can't deal with this anymore. This is going to be a bad month and it is just starting. I'm not strong enough

You will survive. You need to make that choice to survive it. It won't be nice but you will survive and everything becomes less intense after time. Not saying it will be nice but i'm telling you the truth.

Hi David,

It's tough being a teen currently. There are many expectations from everyone in your life (including yourself) and many of them are sometimes just out of reach.

Try to handle the pressure by reaching for the easy ones. Make a list and tick it off. You will quickly see how valuable you can be to your situation and to others in your life.

What are the causes of your Depression?
