<p>So am i the only senior seeming to deal with this? I don't know if it is even depression, but with so much going on right now im constantly getting disapoointed with "friends", feeling sad, and a lot of stupid things dissapoint me. I don't know, it's never been this bad.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>bumpppppppppppp</p>
<p>Yes, I can identify with you. I'm not a senior, but there's so much crap going on, stupid problems with people at school I can't avoid, and my only "good" friends I never see anymore.</p>
<p>maybe you should talk to your friends about this-who knows? maybe they feel the same way and can help you through this.</p>
<p>I give my sympathies, and despite the possibility that someone from my school might see this, print it out, and show it all around school in an effort to ridicule me, I'll just tell you that I myself suffer from clinical depression. I did not get better until I finally got insurance-covered treatment. In fact, I was worsening as the months went on, the self-deprecation intensifying with every "unsatisfactory" grade. I don't want you to go down the same path that I did, hurting yourself, contemplating suicide... It's just not worth it. I do recommend that you talk to your friends, and though it may be hard, reveal to your parents your troubles. If you're feeling so down that you can't last a day without bursting into tears, you need some help.</p>
<p>I've dealt with depression for most of my life. I get the most awful SAD every winter (seasonal affective disorder...depression in the winter). I just want to sleep all the time, my grades drop, I get sick a lot.
I don't know what to tell you. I've been down the old meds & therapy route. It was awful.
But, it's different for everyone.</p>
<p>All i've got to say is enjoy your high school years and everything about it, including friends because soon you'll be in college and you will miss it more than anything. Also you wont remember all the silly fights you had so just basicaly live your high school years up!! (High school goes by wayy too fast)</p>
<p>I think you are just overworked. I read somewhere here that someone took two days off and just did whatever they wanted (no schoolwork) and it worked for them</p>
<p>def overworked</p>
<p>i was very depressed 1 summer ago...people saying overworked may be wrong...summer was not much to do...when i got school and work going, i kicked right out of it...no time to be depressed...it will pass, but if not seriously consider a doctor....find something new to do....take car rides, buy something new, take a run, start a business, organized/clean, do extra work, study...get you mind off the crap</p>
<p>are you getting enough sleep? exercising? eating right?
if not, try those three things. might make a huge difference.</p>
<p>[and, as an added bonus, I now qualify as the world's greatest hypocrite]</p>
<p>exercising does wonders...oh man it does</p>
<p>Try dealing with depression for the entirety of your life and then come back :(</p>
<p>I feel you on that one, brosfam. it sucks.</p>
<p>Maybe you need more sleep. Getting three hours a night does strange things to people.</p>
<p>I can attest to that</p>
<p>I feel all depressed at times however i'm also a senior at 16 going to graduate when i'm 17 so I'm going to be thrown into the real world a year to early and I'm living on the other side of the country from where Im used to so that might be a minor reason also... :0/</p>
<p>wow, me too! though i saw it as good thing</p>
<p>Two years ago I was really depressed and developed anxiety disorder. I had just about no self-esteem and was having panic attacks at the slightest provocation. Anti-depression meds work very well for helping you get back on your feet, but they're not a long term solution. I found that talking to people that I trust really helps with my anxiety when I feel panicky and there are lots of great books about depression and anxiety full of great ideas. They're corny, but they work, especially deep breathing exercises and developing an awareness of negative thought processes. Physical exercise is another great outlet.</p>
<p>sophomore year for me led to depression. i hate this year.</p>
