Do you ever feel like all you want to do is cry and SI for the rest of eternity? That’s how I feel. I feel like I’m dieing inside. I’m in such a deep depression and I’m not sure I’ll ever come out of it. I feel like I’m out of control. I SI too often, I’m not sleeping, and I feel so depressed all the time. There’s just too much stress in my life and I’m sick of it all. I want it to stop. But I wish it were that easy.Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome depression without going to a doctor or anything? That would be really great. Cause we cant really get to a doctor cause we dont have insurance. 🙁
Hi,
Sometimes it can be helpful to talk to someone. Many places have free counseling that you can use. Are your parents people you can talk to about things? Maybe they can help you find some help too.
Also, maybe sounds corny, but there are a lot of inspirational books out there to help see the brighter things that life has to offer.
Do not try to go through it alone. You need support when dealing with depression or SIing. If anything you have support here.
My mom is definately someone I am not comfortable talking to about anything at all. She thinks I am only trying to get attention. She doesn’t know about my SI problem though. I’m not trying to get attention though. and If you have any reccomendations on books, I’ll be glad to give them a try. I love reading. Thanks for the help.
My parents kind of acted like it too. Looking back on it now I think they were just scared, confused and blamed themselves a bit. It was hard for them to understand it until a professional was able to educate them a little bit about SIing. Maybe you can still look at trying to find a counselor, even at school, that can help. Sometimes it makes it much easier for someone else to take the reigns for a bit and explain things.
As for books, most of the time I just walk into the “Inspirational” section of the bookstore. If you believe in God and are spiritual that way, books by Max Lucado can be very comforting.
My mom is just..really mean. She doesn’t understand me. I tried talking to my school counselor but we just don’t click. I don’t feel comfortable talking to her. I’ll have to try that. I do believe in God. I go to church every Sunday. I think he’ll help me through this. 🙂
