Plz help. read details

I have also had major depression in my life at various times,. and still do. Remember that depression is a chemical IMBALANCE in your brain, and it isn't just a 'mood' that you can 'snap out of'. And JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE YOUNG, DOES NOT MEAN YOU'LL BE FINE. This is a disease of the mind and needs to be dealt with. What worked for me might not work for you, but-here is what was suggested to me:

Go for a walk every day. Get out of your surroundings, and even go someplace that you usually don't go by foot. Come back and take a nice warm/hot bath. Have your phone numbers (hotlines) in place, in case you need someone to talk to. Sometimes it's better not to know the person very well, or vice versa. I found it easier to unload my feelings to someone qualified to listen.

Make a list-yeah, a literal list, of things you want to get done 'today'. Don't try to be too grandiose with your expectations of yourself. Your list might be very basic for starters, like 'get out of bed and make it', 'take a shower today', 'take a walk', etc.

Find a moderate exercise routine for yourself. Break a sweat, get your heart rate up!! Release your bodies' natural anti-depressants!

Set small, reachable goals for yourself. One time I weighed wayyyyy too much and I kept feeling like 'all is lost' because I'm too big. It's too much of a challenge for me to do what I need to do to lose it. But when I started thinking that 'I just need to try and lose two pounds this week', things started to work for me. I could visualize it and it worked. I lost 90 lbs. in 9 months, and by one year later I was at the optimum weight for my height. (but it didn't help my depression completely-I still had a bad divorce, and other things that went haywire!)

Stay away from drugs and alcohol, esp. when you're on meds! No exceptions amigo. The stuff they give you will not work correctly if you drink and drug.

Do a random act of kindness toward someone who isn't expecting you to do it.

Okay, I'm done. Hope this helps you. Your life is precious, and the people you have touched with your smiles and support and love, are hoping nothing but the best for you. If someone is not, shut them out for awhile and keep away from the negativity as much as possible, at least for awhile. If you have a God you believe in, pray constantly for peace of mind. I will send my words to mine in your behalf!

Take a deep breathe and try to relax. Each time you think of something bad, stop and try to think of 1 good thing. I realize and understand the difficulty in what I am asking you to do because I have been there too.........but no matter what there is at least 1 thing that is good in life that you can try to focus on. That one thing maybe a small whiff of vanilla or flowers or maybe a line out of a favorite verse you love. Take a moment of the day and find a great manta you can repeat when everything else is hopeless and the darkness won't let go.

Also if the medication is not helping then you should return to the dr that gave it and ask for something different. There are many things out there that can help you through this and some times trial and error is what you have to be going after.

Have you ever thought about a therapist or group that you can join? Sometimes the worst and hardest thing to do is talk but it is the best thing you could have done.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do such as listen to you vent. I understand how dark things are but everything will get better with time. Time and hardship are only a test of faith and strength.........you are stronger than you think.

1st stop everything you are doing. then take a short drive out of town or to a local park.

2nd now that you have arrived walk out into the middle and scream your head off, doesn't matter what you say even if you just laugh like a crazy person.

3rd realise now that you just did something crazy. relax drive back home and look around and see what you got in your life. 1 thing at a time. write them down on a piece of paper. DO NOT WRITE ANY THING BUT WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. no i might lose this cause of or im not worthy. just what makes you happy to have it...

4th get back online and look at africa... your life is pretty damn good
