  • I totally understand, i often feel depressed too. The one this is to get to the rout of the problem, why do u feel depressed, and alone? once you know why it can get better, or if you're depressed for no reason what so ever, keep doing the same thing, listen to music, write poetry, read in the Bible, watch a movie to get ur mind off things and most importantly talk about it, it really feels good when you tell someone whats happining, you feel at ease. :) hope i can help
    GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS
  • i do talk about it but it doesnt really help.. and i've been feeling like this for a long time.. nothing seems to work... ya music and writing helps but not for long.. i kinda need more then that..

    C.A.P. :-*
  • Prayer helps...I should actually telling myself that, but anyway if u open ur heart to God, He always makes u feel better about whatever you are going thru no matter how hard it is and no matter how lonely u feel, God is always going to be your comfort. People will come and go in ur life..ya sometimes we say friends stay forever...but who really stays forever...no one...no one will handle all the problems tht we face each day...exept for God, exept for The One who died for us, the one who really loves us no matter who we are. Ya, everybody heard tht before...but it's true, if u say ur troubles to God, he will give u comfort..."Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden , and I will give you rest" Matthew 11:28
    He said that to all of us, who among any humans says that to us, NO ONE, even if they did...it's for a couple of days..months...even years..but then it ends...but God will be here FOREVER
    Depression will come and go...it's not only teen years..but no...everyone faces depression from the teens to the adults to everyone who lost somthing in their life and feel lonely...but we just need to have faith tht God is always going to be there no matter what.
    God Bless :),

  • wat do u guys get so depressed bout??
    - if u feel jesus within u, u should never feel that way
    are use ok ?? im getin worried now :-\
  • hey CAP...!!
    the bestest, coolest thing to do, is forget bout EVERYTHING and Thank God your not muslim.. :P
    ahah. i know sounds funny, and kinda offensive, but to YOURself its TRUE, and its GOOD to know ;)
    i do it all the time, and it always works...
  • hey every body
    I will tell you something I like it so much..

    Think about any thing like the cross and imagen you are standing at the front of jesus on the cross ..!! and bring a note and write exactly what you fell .......

    And what you wanna say to him it dose not matter what you feel but write it down...

    Now for example imagen your self stand withe the disciples when they sow jesus for the first time after he rise from the deth...

    what do you think what was they real reaction at this strong moment and what would be yours...!!!

    Write it down and see after that what will be your felling.

    I have notes from 1995 I never stoped .....and I will not.
    God bless
  • hey C.A.P.... i think a really good ideawould be critically examining your life n figuring out where this case of stress or "depression" is stemming from in your life. It could be frum certain relationships etc etc. After you know where its coming from you can go frum there in figuring out wat to do about it. If u need sumone to listen to any of your probz m sure a lot of us would be glad to. take care n remember the Holy Spirit within us is stronger than any depression.
  • Hey C.A.P.,

    You are in my prayers, many of the suggestions here are great and I'm glad to see many of us trying to help, it shows a real sense of brotherhood and sisterhood in Christ.

    And now my 2 cents...well, I can definately identify with you and I'm sure many others can as well. All I can say is STICK TO CHURCH! Sadly I did the opposite and found myself down an even harder more painful road, but thanks to my friends and sunday school teachers I was brought back...and trust me it changed me.

    So the moral of the story I just mentioned is, stick to your faith, talk to your FOC (which does wonders for me), talk to your sunday school teachers, they have experience in this, and just stay close to God, by keeping Him infront of you at all times like armour, you will never face an obstacle you can never handle.

    Oooh one last tip, listening to soft christian music helps me calm down or relax, OOH! TASBEHA especially tasbeha!

    Random babblings as usual brought to you by me! :)
    Hope something made sense!

    hello all
    i havent posted in a hwile bvut i saw your post and saw a key phrase

    .. and listening to rock...

    (dont get me wong i also listen to music)...but i dont think rock is teh best thing to get rid of depression because thats what its known for letting off emotions of depression ("EMO")
    bands like Taking Back Sunday or getting you pumped like the hard rock bands like Limpbizkit and Linkin Park. If you keep getting depressed i would recommend tasbeha its beautiful especially arepsalin
    thats my opinion
    aghape,
    chris

    P.S. The note idea is beautiful
  • Hello C.A.P.,

    This is the commandment of St. Anthony the Great to his diciples:

    ( In every place and at all times say:

    My Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me
    My Lord Jesus Christ help me
    I praise You O My Lord Jesus Christ. )

    It had helped me in the past, and it sure helps me at any time I envoke the Name of the Lord .

    You can repeat this prayer, either silently or with soft voice if you are alone, many times.

    If you use to practise this exercise at all time, it will be a part of of you. It will replace your ordinary nonsense thought, even you will awake at night finding yourself saying it.

    It might be not easy in the begining, it just need practise, especialy when you feel down.

    We all want to hear from you C.A.P. Please comunicate with us and may the Lord help you and bless you.

  • I blame school for all of our problems >:( ...
  • HAHA! Mansour89...funny! I had a comment on this site once on the evils of school! Also had a suggestions of us all dropping out and living under a bridge eating fried boots but no one took my offer!! I wonder why? ???


    Seriously tho! How are u C.A.P.? :) I hope you are doing well!
  • Well everybody keeps saying that u should go and talk with ur FOC but what hapens if u don't feel comfortable when ur talking to him. I mean every teen goes through this and even I'm going through this too right now but I don't think that talking with ur FOC helps, especially when ur in my position. No offence.

    I blame school for all of our problems >:( ...

    Actually for some weird reason, the only place I smile now is at school. I think thats because thats where all my friends are.
    sorry for being so random.
  • love4all....I'm interested in dropping out and living under a bridge... ;D
    To gurl-servant, talking to your FOC helps because he is so wise, he always has the right things to say. Imagine how many people have been to him with the same problem, he's so experienced! To me, it's like my FOC is the only one who understands, and you can be certain he will never tell anybody what you tell him. What more could you want from a man?! lol :P...
    "I mean every teen goes through this and even I'm going through this too right now but I don't think that talking with ur FOC helps, especially when ur in my position"
    May I ask what position?.... ???
    Peace and God Bless!
  • yes gurl-servant i totally agree with u.. school is the only place i smile too.. then the rest of the time im in this crappy depressed mood that i cant get out of.. its like something is holding me and wont leave me alone.. im trying to get it off me but i dont know how cuz my other ways arent working...

    C.A.P.
  • It's quite possible that it could be chemical......ask your doctor if anti-depressants are recommended for you.....if the depression lasts longer than two weeks, it is probably that you need anti-depressants (now I'm starting to sound like a Paxil commercial......lol)

    I'm going through a major bout of depression right now.....so, as Jesus Himself said, "Physician, Heal thyself!"......unfortunately, Canada is light-years ahead of America as far as health-care goes, so that option is not as readily available to me as it is to you

    another thing is to find out what you're good at and keep doing that...you'll get immense satisfaction out of "playing out your role" in life (in fact, that's the whole moral of Ecclesiastes)......

    rock?....I like my rock too, but sometimes you have to switch to another forms of music when the emotional times are rough....not even necessarily Christian music (although that would be excellent too)....try something more "upbeat" like reggae or "pop" (I use that term in the looser AMG definition).....I find Paul Simon useful to this end......

    Something else I do is this: pick a certain quiet time (preferably when no one else is in the house), go to a quiet place, turn off the lights and put candles on, turn on a REALLY, REALLY relaxing cd (like some sort of ambient music)....and just CHILL (just lay there).....I recommend focusing on your breathing during this time

    sorry 4 the long post....
  • hey u_stole_my_name.. actually i do da last thing u said but a bit differently... ppl are home most of the time and i go into my room and light a oil burner thingy (it smells good and it workds with a candel underneath it) and i turn off the lights, open my window to get a nice breez and open the blinds so i can see the stars in da sky and exept soft music.. i blast my rock.. and yes i luv reggae.. its actually my fav. but ya.. ill try the same thing this time but with soft music.. i really hope it helps...
    thanx....

    the position that I'm in is...well...u know when u really don't want to talk with anybody and so u want to just lock urself in a room cuz people just keep bothering u to find out whats wrong...well yea that feeling
    sorry its hard to explain :-\

    no offence but I happen to know that my FOC doesn't have lots of experience with teens cuz he is a new priest and all...so I kinda dougt that he will understand what I'm going through.
    I'm sorry its just that I havn't confessed in a while cuz I just don't feel comfortable with him...not that their is anything wrong with the priest.
    Am I the only one having this feeling? :-[
