Question by toree_?: depression?
i don’t know if I’m depressed or if I’m just going through hard teenage times. i have a hard time sleeping sometimes, i just lay there and think. i think too much. depression runs on both sides of my family, like almost every person on both sides of my family takes medication for it. for depression and anxiety. I’m 15. i went to the doctor and my doctor wouldn’t give me medication. she said i need counseling. but i really don’t want to talk about my feelings i just want medication, i don’t wanna talk to some stranger about my personal feelings. i guess i’m just asking about your guys’ opinions. not many things make me happy. i’m sort of a negative person. its hard for me to see the good in things. i get irritated easily. i did have a panic attack once, in a movie theater. never had one since then though. i’ve had a tough time dealing with things since about 2 years ago. i sleep alot, i eat alot, i cry alot.

anyway, sorry i wrote so much. i just want opinions. thanks for reading.

Once you go to counseling, you’ll love it. It’s not like they make it look on TV. You worry me by saying all you want are meds. This will only suppress the problems you’ve been having–whatever happened 2 years ago.
Sometimes the counselor (psychiatrist) will prescribe meds ALONG with counseling, but try talking 1st.
Meds also have side effects which can make things worse–mood swings, weight gain, gateway to other drugs, etc.
So…try counseling is my advice :)
