Please Help With “depression”?

Question by Vivian: Please help with “depression”?
I’m thirteen and I feel hopeless and selfish. I truly don’t like being this way. I break out crying sometimes and get a horrible sinking feeling inside. It all happens randomly. I sometimes feel like a zombie like I really don’t care about anything or anyone and consider living the rest of my life like that. I currently just moved in with my aunt and uncle. I had a rough childhood with emotional neglect and abuse. My parents love me, but they never showed it and still neglect me. So I decided I don’t have to put up with it. I feel selfish on how I just want to die and be with God when people are fighting to stay alive. That’s exactly why I hate feeling like this. I bring people down, am anti-social, and feel worthless. Still, I’m not positive this is depression. I am emotionally “scarred” and really have no one to hug and adore like I wish I could adore my parents. I feel so empty and depressed randomly, like right now. Usually I’m energetic and fun, but I have these moments. Does anyone know if this is a case of depression? I have a lot to be happy about and thankful about, yet I’m still sad and hollow. I did tell my aunt and uncle and they know when I’m depressed and talk about getting me medication or talking to my school counselor, but the topic is never pursued and I feel like I’m going in circles. So is it depression? If it is or isn’t, is there any way I can make this feeling go away?

I must say well done, you realize you have a problem and you have reached out. That in my eyes is a major step in helping yourself. Try talking to your Aunt& Uncle again, i would also go see the counsellor at your school. It always helps to have someone to talk to who understands what you are feeling. Don’t let it go on for too long without seeking help, and remember you are NOT worthless, you just need a little help. Good luck

yes my dear you are living with depression. And you sound like you’ve had a hard knock life. With parents who have abandoned you. We all want to escape these hardships. This is the prison planet where we come here to learn. It’s the hardest dimension of all. Failures be seek us all, disappointments, betrayals, loneliness, poverty, illness, failure. The list is endless. But we have to survive them.

I am happy you have an Aunt and Uncle who love you. That’s a beautiful blessing. They just don’t know what exactly to do in trying to help you. There is a drug called St John’s Wort, you can buy it any supermarket or drugstore in he vitamin section. It is made of these little yellow flowers that grow in Ireland. Europeans have been taking it for years. They call it the poor man’s Prozac. I’ve used it and it has no side effects. Take some extra in the beginning to get it in your system. It will bring you out of the funk you are in and help clear up some of your brain fog. Try to stay busy and concentrate on your own life and future.

You do care, and your no zombie. It will take some time for you to get through these adjustments. But your a survivor, remind yourself of this all the time.
