I'm a teen and have always been happy and had a supportive family and a lot of great friends. Over the past few months I experienced extreme anxiety which kind of left me in quite a bad depression. Recently it's gotten worse and I really can't control my thoughts or feelings. Sometimes I want to get better and sometimes I'm just not bothered and don't even want to be a alive. It scares me because I know I don't want to die but sometimes the feelings are so intense I don't know what to do. I am seeing a therapist and waiting for cbt but sometimes the thought of getting better makes me feel sick. I don't know what to do anymore.
Hi sorry your feeling so bad
If you havent done so you need to go and get a diagnosis at the doctors.
You also have to speak to your parents about it,
You are young and have so much to live for try and get this under control .
Dont shut everyone out with depression you need all the help you can get.
This forum is excellent for support
Take Care
I have spoke to multiple psychiatrists and doctors and my mum is fully aware. My dad is in hospital and has a brain injury so I can't really tell him. I just can't shake all of these horrible feelings😓
Are you on medication
No I don't think anyone wants to put me on medication yet i think it has a lot to do with my age maybe
I think your only other option is therapy
CBT does not cure you but helps you deal with the problem
Good Luck
Thankyou
Hang in there Vicks. Please tell your parents, a good friend and a doctor about how you feel. It will get better again. I'll be praying for you.
