where can i find help
| Fri, 03-19-2004 - 11:17pm |
Well yes i am young...only 15, but i have depression and i don't know where to seek help. I don't want to go to my school counsolor or the peer helpers at my school because i am one and i don't want to go to a doctor. I would really prefer to talk to someone on the phone or online for help. I don't want to talk to someone that i know because they propabably have known me for my whole life and i just don't feel comfortable. All they know me as, is as my old self as the old me and they haven't taken the time to understand that I am not that person anymore. They would just look at me and not understand that I really do someone to talk to. Thanks and hopefully i get some answers!

Welcome,
Hello and welcome,
Trac gave you some great info there are many hotlines that you could call and talk to someone that can give you support advice and information.
I know how hard it is to talk with your friends about what you are going through it is very hard for someone to understand who has not been thru the same thing as you, but you never know maybe one of your friends can relate maybe one of your friends also suffers from depression.....
I know what youare talking about when you said they know the old you the person that you used to be my sister said to me one time that she wonders where her sister went because I am NOT the person that I used to be I am not vibrant and full of life like I once was now I dont even know if that was the real me or the manic side I dont know but anyways, you would be surprised by how understand some people can be.
I think that you should do what is best for you maybe going to the doctor would help you more than you know maybe one of the hotlines can direct you towards soemone who will be able to help you with out making it known to everyone.
good luck hun and please give us an update on how you are.
