Yeah

Breathe and try a little deep mind searching and try to find if there is a deeper reason and if you are in the age group of 13-16 year-olds you are probably having those "Teenager problems" but you shouldn't just ignore them, try to find some thing to explain or try to let it go

Thanks:) I am 16, so probably having said problems, but I do really need to address my problems more. I stuff them down too much, but there's not that many people I feel comfortable talking to like at all outside of God, so I just continue to stuff things down.

That aint healthy, when i was a young kid, my therapist let me draw picture of what was getting me down and only she could look at them. try writing them down or drawing them or just find someone you trust to tell about what is getting you down

Yeah, I know. It's just hard to describe and there's that little voice telling me that no one would really want to put up with that. I would draw or write, but I have little motivation to do anything

Don't stuff it down its bad for your health! You either forgive, accept, or let go some things it will help you a lot

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying, it's just hard when Idk why I'm so depressed

I understand that it may be confusing but it's okay to not be okay

Sorry but I gtg bye hope you're good

Yeah.

Nvm I'm BACK

I've gone through that before, this winter actually. I just felt sad about lots of things happening in life and I felt like I couldn't trust anyone. I hung on though, and I remember thinking that God would never abandon me and that I'd always have Him. Eventually it went away and now I can only remember 1 of the things I was sad about. You've just gotta keep pushing through and trust that it'll get better. I'll be praying for you.

Thank you so much, it's encouraging that I'm not the only one

You got this! Just relax and think about something positive.

Thanks, I'm trying!

I'm your cheer squad!!! ;)

Aw, thx:)

Yep!

Well, what I like to do is to say/write/draw out whats bothering me (I say it in a private place so no one looks at me questioningly) or I try to hold it in. you should not be holding ALL that sadness in! breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out; etc

:) Thanks, Del

:D

If you want you can talk to someone who was previously depressed which is me

Thanks, if it gets worse I might take you up on it.

Good I'm usually available between 9am to 5pm eastern time

Ive been the same way lately. My mental health hasn't been good at all, in fact it's been really crappy. It's like I'm a crybaby, I can't do pretty much anything without tearing up for some reason. I think we'll be able to talk about it together if you'd like. I understand how you feel!

I don't even know what is really causing it, but like I just have this heaviness on me that I just can't shake. I fell lonely and anxious and terrified at the same time, and I just want to cry. My eyes will not stop tearing up, and I keep going over the edge and crying every few hours. It's never been this bad and Idk what to do.

Reading that immediately lets me know that I understand how you feel. I feel the exact same way. It's just, at night I can't sleep, because there's just something on my shoulders that's weighing me down and when I'm alone I completely break down. I want to cry at the most random times, just wanting to let it all out; and I can't because of my parents. I don't want them near me at the moment.

Is there any specific thing that you know is weighing you down? Cause I have no clue why I'm so sad. Finals is probably not helping, but outside of that for me, it seems like there is no reason

Yes, exactly. I feel suffocated by people but also completely alone

I think like I need to get it out but how?

I'm not sure....I know exactly how you feel and I don't know how to escape...Escaping is just what I need.. I want to feel free, not trapped in my own prison, made up of my own problems!

Yeah, exactly. I don't know if you are a Chrisitan or not, but I am an I just finished reading this really good book called You Are Free, and it talked about how God has already made us free, and it outlined things that could be holding us back. It was so good and true. And yet, even though I just finished this excellent book, I still feel so trapped.

I am a Christian! I know they say God has already made you free, but... it just doesn't feel like it. I feel so trapped, so.. lonely.

I'm glad you are! Because I know He's still with me and He has made us free, but it's so hard to not get caught up in my feelings and emotions. And the circumstances around me are doing the opposite of helping

Exactly!

I definitely don't have any answers, but it's really encouraging that you're going through the same thing. I don't really know what else to say, haha. I'll be praying for the both of us. Also, I just heard this song and it reminded me where my focus should be rather than on these horrible feelings. I still feel really depressed, but I think some of the weight is lifting from talking to you and this song. I hope you feel better, and if you need to keep talking I'm open to it!

Thank you so much!

Of course!! Thank you so much, I'm glad I'm not alone. It helps a little. There's also a song called Together by For king and country that is playing right now, and it's really cool it's almost like God organized the playlist. Idc if that sounds weird or not.

That's a lot like what I'm going through. Thanks for understanding, it would be great to talk sometime.

Of course!

I feel stupid asking this, but when would be a good time for you to talk?

Now would be great.

Tysm. You want to make a private image, or would here be fine?

Anywhere that you would feel comfortable that I can reach easily.

Ok, I don't really know what else to do so is here okay?

Of course!
