Hi there... Im sorry that things are so hard. If you ever wanna talk, u can message me I'm 15 and I have been through depression... It hurts a lot I know

What you really need is a therapist. They won't tell u that it will get better. They will talk with you, work with you, assist you in learning new ways to feel better that aren't harming to yourself or your health. I know it feels like nothing will ever get better. I know how it feels to want to die. There IS hope out there. Medication can and will work. Behavioral therapy can be a life changer.

I know many use therapy as an ultimatum: if you keep this up, your going to therapy. That is so horrible, as that is what kept me out of therapy when I could have gotten so much out of it. What I mean is, therapy isn't where "bad" teens go, it's not a way to force u into behaving. It is a resource that can really help you if you will work with it.

Ask yourself: do you want to feel better? Think about that for a second.
