Hi Kara,

My heart goes out to you. I know how it feels to be so unhappy. Because I used to feel that way a lot. Actually, I still feel that way sometimes. I feel depresses, even until now, and I'm already 25 years old.

I started getting depressed when I was 15. I tried to commit suicide then. That was a very bad thing, and please do not do that. Actually, don't do anything that will hurt yourself or your family.

What is your relationship with your family like? Are you close to any of your parents or sisters or brothers? Try to talk to somebody in your family that you are comfortable with. I think that you may be clinically depressed and you will need your family's support now, more than ever. (I am glad that you are actually trying to find ways to make yourself feel better.. That's a good start) Tell them how you feel. They will be able to tell if you need to talk to a therapist. If you do need one, check out the therapist when you meet them. You have to have a therapist whom you are comfortable with.

As for friends (in or out of school), you don't need a lot of friends. You need just one or two whom you can connect with, somebody whom you can open yourself to, somebody whom you can share your thoughts or feelings with, and who can do the same to you.

Anywa, if you need anybody to talk to, email me. jaizeganda@yahoo.com

I'll be glad to hear from you and talk to you.
