I've started getting depresion and I'm thirteen. I don't know what's causing it. It was all going well and I was getting happier until my father (who I haven't seen in three years) phoned me and said he'd see me. He did not contact me on the day and ignored my calls. Since then it has all came back.

I'm really sorry about your dad, but what you've got to remember is that you were okay before your dad made contact, so perhaps he's not the missing part of your life, but you're the missing part of his, and if he's struggling to go through with meeting you in person again, maybe it's because he's got issues too. I'd be scared of finally meeting up with a family member who I'd left three years ago, 'cos I'd be worried they'd hate me. I hope you feel better soon and resolve things with your dad

If your tablets aren't working, the best thing to do is talk with your doctor - see if there's an alternative medication, or other methods such as counselling that you could explore. Tablets aren't a quick fix, and won't get rid of whatever it was that made you depressed in the first place - that's something that you need to face, which can be done sometimes just by talking to someone else about how you feek & why you feel that way.

I am a 24 year old male and I dont know if I have medical depression. I get so down sometimes I that all I want to do is curl up in my bed and sleep and wish I never I woke up again. I am too scared to go and see a doctor as I guess deep down I am a little ashamed. There are times when I am alone and all I want to do is cry but I cant seem to get the tears out which makes it worse. I do feel so alone a lot of the times. Please, is anyone able to help?

[Tipples84]

It does sound like you're quite down, I wouldn't want to personally say that you're depressed, as I'm not a doctor, and depression is different for everyone. Depression is more common than you might think, & it's nothing to feel ashamed of. People think it's a sign of weakness if you admit you can't cope; when really it's a very brave thing to do, it takes a lot of courage to sit in front of someone and tell them how you feel, but once you do it, it feels better.

i am depressed as well on fluoxetine, which is making me worse

[starstruck190]

Hi. I'd just like to say that i really admire you for posting this. I've recently been diagnosed with depression and i'm also taking fluoxitine. To hear your experiences is a great support and it's nice to hear people comment on how depression is an illness. as i was one of those who believed that i deserved to feel sad all the time and i was really ashamed over it.. so this has really helped me. I hope that everything goes well for you!
