Answers:
The hardest part of anything is just starting it... This is the same thing. Just start exercising, if only a little bit at a time, and get that going. Then make a list of qualities you like about yourself (sounds conceded but it works). The most important thing to realize is that everyone's life has highs and lows, and sometimes the lows can last for awhile, but there is always something better coming and if you stick it out, you'll get there and realize how great life can be.

Good luck. =)

gp see a therapist go talk to someone that can help u and that u trust. i'm 17 and have depression for along time know. i take lexapro people shouldn't take zolfoft. do an activite. something that makes u feel good. for me i do exerise and do track.
