Welcome to Gaia! ::

ok, i'm just gonna come out with the fact that i think that i'm depressed. lately, everyone that i know seems to want to stay away from me. my friends are distansing themselves from me. my family seems like whenever i have a problem they dont want to listen. it's just that, they want to pay more attention to my older siblings it seems, and my brother and sister just want to leave me alone. what's worse is that, i feel all this sadness inside of me, and no matter what it is, it always turns to anger. i've kicked two holes in the walls of my house, and whenever i walk be them, it just makes me feel more sad. it's like i can't do anything right. i used to try telling my parents taht i'm sad, but like i said, no one is listening to me right now. i got home today to find out that i was alone. so i started screaming hoping to get all my emotions out, but it didn't work. i have tried setting goals, but whenever i set one, it get's accomplished easily and i have nothing to live for. i don't want to commit suicide or anything, but i don't want to feel so alone and useless either. can someone just tell me what they do in order to stop feeling this pain that haunts my nights and days? please, i really want to feel better

when im depressed. I listen to music, and i write down exactly what im feeling. maybe it could help you too.

So my tips- and I can sound really happy and hyper and stuf; it's from practice. I know how you feel. Highlight this post.

1. Throw a party, and invite the friends you feel are distancing themselves from you. This way you guys can ll get together and hang and talk, and get everything out in the open, plus bring them back to you.

2. Try talking to your parents, I know this sounds stupid, that you posted that they don't seem to be listening- parents have this thing that they want their kids to be happy and so they'll actually deny that anything is wrong with them. So, try at least one more time.

3. Get a normal school notebook and write everything that pops into your head, i.e. "I feel like crap," "there's a squirell on my windowsill," "i should clean my room," ect.

4. Ask for extra credit assignments from your teachers, it'll give you something to get your mind off of things.

5. Clean your room, the bathroom you use, and/or your kitchen. While doing this play some of your favorite music, or a book on casette or CD.

6. Do NOT stay up late, OR eat lots of sugar.

7. Call up your favorite cousin, or relative you haven't talked to in a while- someone your age and just catch up with them.

8. Repair the holes in the wall. This way you won't be able to see them and then they won't depress you- it'll also be a mental step that you are working out your depression.

9. Find a good book, one that has a happy ending. I would recomend Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse all by Stephanie Meyer, or Peeps, Uglies, Specials, Pretties, and Extras all by Scott Westerfeld.

10. Work out- even if it's just taking a slow jog around your block twice a week, the endorphins will really help.

And those are the tips from the All Knowing Astar, aka AKA!
