Same thing applies. You're young, what have you got be depressed about?

I get s**t grades which I don't care about but my parents always get pissed when I get bad grades even though I don't really care about passing year 12. No ones ever truly loved me, I met a girl who said she did but then left and we are still friends but it will never be the same. No one cares about me, my best friend who I shared alot of trust and memories with stabbed me in the back and now I'm left bleeding and can't trust anyone. I'm a worthless loser. I am proud of being a geek, proud of who I am but I just hate being so f**king alone all the time and having no one to talk to. I just want some friends who I can hang out with on weekends but I'm way too f**king insecure, shy and whenever I speak to people I feel like I'm bothering them so It's hard to make new friends especially when we don't really have the same interests.
 
It may not seem like it now homie but life will get better and much quicker than you think. You have so much life ahead of you it's not even funny. 10 years from now you'll look back and laugh that you thought any of that stuff was even remotely important or relevant for your life

The thing is I know that I will look back and say "I made it" But It just seem too far away, and I'm a pretty weak s**t and can't really suck it up.
 
Anyone in here clinically depressed? Like, officially diagnosed with major depression?

How about dysthymia?

You are the sum of your experiences. It's all relative from how you perceive your life to how you handle it. The ball is in your court in how you roll with the punches.

I like what the guy above posted but let's make it a bit more personal homie, you're what, 16? That means you have roughly a little over 16 years here on this Earth and everything that has happened in your life has led you to this very day, right at this very moment. If you made it this far what's stopping you from going the next 16 years? Those 16 years have made you the individual you are today and even though all you see are your own flaws I guarantee you there are several people in your life that see all the wonderful things about you even though they may not always tell you directly. We are always our own worst critics, it's inherent in everyone to judge themselves much more harshly than we do others. I'm willing to bet there is someone at your school that sees you every day and thinks you are the coolest and handsomest guy around but they are too shy to tell you. A friend once told me "Don't count the days, make the days count" and I try to live by that each and every day. If I'm obsessing about the past it's utterly futile since it has already happened and can't be changed. I can't worry about the future because it hasn't happened yet. Try to live your life in the here and now, once you are able to do that you will find life really isn't that bad and you may even find yourself enjoying it :woot:

I tried suffocating myself to death by putting tape over my nose and mouth last night, does that count?

No that doesn't, that is a cry for help. I've seen several post's since you joined the Hype that are all just cries for help. Plenty of us have given you good advice and much like when I was your age it falls on deaf ears. You need to seek out a professional so that you can try and process these emotions you're dealing with. Random strangers on the internet may have the best intentions, but we are rarely qualified to give any meaningful advice. If you are at a point where you are taking steps to end your life then you need to seek help homie. 16 is a tough time for everyone, even the super popular athlete at your school who seems to have the perfect life has their own issues they deal with. Go to counseling and let someone help you, nobody here on the Hype is going to give you a magic solution to fix all your problems

Honesty, I think I just want attention, people to actually care about me/ notice me

If you don't mind, how long are your episodes? Are you taking medication or coping without?

I'd say lack of attention plays a key role in how you feel. But I wouldn't say that it's the root of the problem. People who are ignored don't try to commit suicide. You must try to help yourself. Talk to your family and communicate with them. Go see a professional. Go see a counselor at your school at the very least, please. You need the desire to help yourself before one day, something happens that becomes the catalyst to a decision you can't take back.

Psychotherapy can get you out of this.

I am taking medication. Mostly Prozac and Abilify. My episodes sometimes vary. Some have lasted weeks, other have lasted many months. I know that I've experienced a lot of moodswings. I sometimes have a new mood or feeling every 10-20 minutes.The two common ones are anger and sadness.
 
It's human nature to go through different moods and feelings. When we're feeling down, we go into our shell. We want to spent time in our own head, away from people. We become numb and pressure begins to build. We might not feel like it, and it may be even hard to put our exact feelings into words.

But the best method for anything is to talk. With someone close, or even on here. Bottom line, let your feelings out. If issues aren't raised, they can't be addressed. Life isn't always easy, and there will be tough times. But it's important to know we're not alone. The good things in life are worth holding on to and living for.

Putting feelings into words is probably one of the things I have the most trouble with.
 
Oh and btw, if anyone wants a chat, message me, I know I'm always depressed and **** but I may as well be useful by helping people so yeh if you need a chat send me a Private Message or message me on Skype!
 
Hey SS I am 28 and have had anxiety and depression since I was your age but in the last few years I have been feeling pretty good. I dont think Ill ever get over it but I know what helps me get through it.

When I was younger my sister got me into philosophy and I found it really helpful and enlightening, there is one book/doco in particular that helped a lot.

Check out this video and the others in the series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irornIAQzQY
If you dont want to be depressed then you gotta be willing to try new things that could potentially help you out. A good way to start is by trying to change the way you think about the world around you.
