Please help, I feel so horrible about myself?
Question:
THese days, I cant even bring myself to eat. I have to force food down my throat at every meal. I feel alone and unwanted, like noone would really care if I was gone. I dont think I serve any purpose at all. I fear many, many things. I am afraid my friends arent really my friends, but just pretending to be.
I feel horrible, I cant sleep at night, I cry constantly in my head, I cant think anything happy, I havent smiled in a long time. Im 16 tomorrow, and theres no celebration at all. I dont even see a reason to celebrate anyways. Like anyone actually cares.
Im serious in all of this. What is wrong with me, and what do I do?

Good on you for seeking help - that is a big step to recognise a problem exists. Keep going to your therapist and taking the meds - meds do not 'work' over night but overtime - dont forget that. Ask your therapist or Dr about some self esteem support groups - these can be very helpful - keep a journal with you at all times and write honestly about how you are feeling a t any given time through the day or night - write down your feelings whether they are good or bad - you may wish to share this with your cousellor - it is very important to have a therapist you feel comfortable with and can trust and you need a Psychiatrist aswell. Congratulations on your 16th birthday - that is a milestone in life. Just take one day at a time and set yourself little goals each day - like washing your hair, painting your nails, ring a friend - these things can be very challenging for people in your situation I know but you must write down your little goals and try and fullfill them each day - if you cant do it one day then aim for the next - All very hard I know but you can do it if you teach yourself to do it. Celebrations for your 16th birthday do not have to be a big affair - just a cake with family or something and you can make up for it on your 18th or 21st when you are coping better with life and maybe you will learn to look forward to something. Please dont give up - there are 24 hour helplines that you can speak to someone whenever you need to. Your therapist should be able to provide you with some phone numbers in your area. 16 WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR YOU, CONGRATULATIONS AND I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU ON YOUR 17TH BIRTHDAY. Very Best Wishes - there is light at the end of the tunnel - believe me

It will get better I promise you that. Don't give up the fight. My wife was like you are now and she took her own life four years ago. The effect her suicide gave great pain to all that loved her. Their where almost one thousand people at her funeral. She was loved by more than she could have imagined. She could not have seen the love through her depression. This depression you feel will clear one day and you will be so grateful you kept fighting. I promise you that.....With love and prayer. K
First of all, you are 16 years old and everyone feels like sh*t at that age. Keep up the therapy and take your meds. If you are still feeling totally miserable, its possible that you have been misdiagnosed and aren't taking the correct medications.
Most importantly, keep talking to people, such as your parents and friends and make sure they know how you are feeling. I know it is probably hard to talk about, but sometimes you just need to put things in perspective and its really hard to do that inside your own head.
Get some exercise, eat healthy, don't do drugs. If you take care of your body, this will help your mind to feel better as well.
Keep keeping on, and it WILL get better.
If the meds are making you feel worse, you should talk to a doctor about that. It might take a little while to find the ones that will work for you , but trust me when I say that these things ARE treatable, and you WILL feel better. Okay?
Also, night time is a really bad time of day for people with depression. So is the morning. You need to tell your doctor that you aren't sleeping. Maybe he'll give you something to help you sleep. If you aren't resting properly, this makes everything seem much worse.
*big hugs and good thoughts*
your depressed. the simplest thing is to have faith that you will get better no matter what. You also have to force yourself to do the things your doctor or therapist thinks you need. It is very hard to overcome depression. Just stick to it and believe me...if your friends are sticking by you during this period then they must really care...otherwise they would just stop talking to you
