Recently school started again. I transferred and got into a magnet high school. I worked my absolute butt off to get into it. It's nationally ranked and I'm in the art major they have there. But at the time I applied, I feel I was a bit looney. And immediately went into depression after all my work was done and I was accepted. I was depressed the whole summer. Once it started again I was okay. At least I thought. I think of suicide all the time and I'm depressed easily. Bummer. I can't let my depression get me down this year. Not this year. Here, I have a chance of getting kicked out if I let my grades slip below a B to C average. I don't want that to happen. I love this school too much. But today, I was crying and kept my head down and worked at a snail's pace because I couldn't find the motivation to do anything else. It'll get worse. I know it will. Any advice on how to handle depression with school before it actually does?

By all means, try to nip it in the bud. Do you have a therapist? If not, then hie the to a school counselor or to a local one. You're right. It would be sad if depression got you off on a bad path after you have worked so hard to get in!

What did you learn from yesterday? How long did you have problems; one class, half a day, all the time after Suzy said. . . to you? What thoughts or situation triggered the worst of your feelings; did you sleep well night before last? Did you have a fight with a parental unit? Did someone say or do something? Be a detective and tweak what is going on with you; your thinking or lifestyle and see what happens; be curious and excited about sculpting your own life experiences artistically

i would get a therapist as soon as you can. depression is difcult to get rid of on your own. And it can quickly get worse... especially with added stress.
