How can I cope with or lessen my symptoms of depression? I have not been medically diagnosed with depression, but it is something that causes me a lot of pain. If you also suffer from depression, share your strategies!
I feel your pain my friend. I am only 16, but last year I was struck down with depression. At least you know and understand you have depression, it took me a long time to figure out why I have been feeling so tired and won all the time. Try reading about your condition on the internet, to un derstand more, and maybe visit your local doctor or phyciatrist. They will help you make sense of it all, with the help of pharmacy pills. You could end up addicted, so constant communication with a doctor is important.
I personally didn’t go to a doctor due to my age and naiveness, but you should. Also, try your hardest to get out there, go shopping and be among friends. it is important to stay connected with your loved ones as depression can linger longer if you are lonely. Try to find the main cause of your depression and focus on changing that. if you don’t face up to ur fears or problems they will never resolve.
Please seek help and I wish you the best:)
good luck.
