Depression – Can Someone Please Help Me, Give Me Some Kind of Therapy, Maybe?
Question by Shane: Depression – Can someone please help me, give me some kind of therapy, maybe?
Yeah, I don’t mean to sound desperate. But I’m reaching the end of my straw, mentally. I have been suffering from what I believe is Severe Depression, better known as “Major Depression”, for about three, maybe three and 1/2 years. I believe this so, because every single symptom matches what I feel, plus a few of those online screening tests ‘agreed’, if you will. I’m asking for help because my family hasn’t been willing to treat me, til I turn sixteen, and so I have been suffering without treatment. I don’t know what to do.. I just really need someone to help me some how.. I’m a very ugly guy, and overweight, as well, so that adds to it.. I hope a therapist sees this, or something.. Please no one suggest that I see a therapist, or get a drug subscription, as my mom won’t allow me to do so til I turn sixteen, like said above.. Please don’t flame me, or call me pathetic for asking some random person for help on something like this.. Yup.. Well, I hope someone will help me. Am I mentally ill, or what.. ?
I highly appreciate the answers I have gotten so far, and I thank you all, and will take everyone’s advice.. I will try the diet, and all the other things suggested, minus calling the hospital.. Leaving the question open longer in hope for more responses. I try hard to do the things I like, or to push myself to improve my life, but it’s hard. And I often feel helpless, and often AM helpless.. I’m a really weak guy right now, because no one else has helped me try and get over this for the last three years. Like one of the people whom answered below, and helped me of course, I have thought of suicide, but never wanted to do it so far, but I feel as if one day I might if I don’t get any help. And yes, I believe in God, but I admit, I am often confused, due to my depression, and I’ve never really ‘felt’ God’s presence, as I have prayed before, things only got worse.. Sorry for asking so much of people I don’t know. And thank you guys, for your answers. I will use them..
Oh.. And if someone would like to email me, to try and help further, my msn, and yahood email is [email protected]/[email protected]
PS: My yahoo email is odd, I know, I just needed to make something up.

I would check a book out at the library or buy a book at a book shop helping you with depression. I saw one at Borders about Cognitive Behavior Therapy with worksheet pages. You can read a page and write about how you feel and that helps you without the drugs and without a therapist.
