Dear biljana and all you people out there who arrive here for the same reasons: you're scared, you can't sleep, or you can't eat, you're thinking bad stuff. Let me tell you few important things you should focus on:
1- you are not alone! So so so many of us feel the same way.
2- I know it's impossible to imagine but it's true: IT WILL BE BETTER, keep hope!
3- medication and therapy Will Help you, especially if you're like this since more than a month or two.
I know these things from my experience and that of my family. I'm not a professional, I'm just an architect and I am a strong person. But when depression happened, I was so lost and helpless and freaking out. If it weren't for my aunt who's a pharmacist who encouraged me to listen to my doctor and take anti-depression pills (I took cipralex), I don't know what would have happened to me. And I'm seen how much therapy and medicine helped me. Also I discovered it ran in my family. Both my aunts had it, my dad too, my mom too even though she doesn't admit it. I only found out when I got depressed. So PLEASE seek help, it's not bad to go talk to a psychologist who will tell you if you need a psychiatrist or if therapy will be enough. And don't loose hope! I was so stuck when I was depressed, I thought nothing good will happen. But since then, I've had wonderful experiences and I was able to share precious moments with lovely people on this planet. But I needed a bit of help first, a small push to get back on track. You can it, I'm very sure of it, just believe. Just believe and seek help.

Hi Reegan
I had that once when I was your age. It wouldn't go away, but my mom helped me. She took me to my grandmother's house where I stayed for a while, and the change made it go away. I don't remember exactly what happened, but after that I felt much better!
So I really suggest that you talk to someone about what is happening to you. If you think your parents are understanding, then talk to them. If they don't understand such things, then maybe talk to a school counseler or someone you think can be of help. Don't keep it to yourself.
Most importantly, you should always remember that this is something that will pass. It happened to me twice in my life so far, and they both passed. One took a little longer, one less. So be patient
You will learn a lot from this experience, it will make you a stronger person.

Hey Reegan
You're depressed. I will cry at night too when Im sad. Sleep deprivation will make it worst. You need sleep. Have you tried drinking tea. There's MidNite dietary supplement. Its a sleep aid. Talk to your parents and tell them how you feel. Or your school counselor or your brother and sister if you have. Hope you feel better👍

Hey Ryan
I was dealing with the same issue. Sleep deprivation is bad. You need sleep. Why don't you try Mid Nite Sleep Aid. It's a dietary supplement helps you sleep. Or tea. You need therapy if you're having serious Anxiety issues. Get help. Headaches can be caused by the stress of being anxious. "Researchers have suggested that a common predisposition to anxiety disorders, depression, and migraines may exist. Migraines and chronic daily headaches are common in people who suffer from anxiety disorders. Migraine headaches can precede the onset of mental disorders, according to a 2009 study." Not sleeping can cause headaches too.

It's because of "sleep deprivation" you need sleep. I've been there too I was not sleeping till the sun came out. I started having hallucinations and suicidal thoughts and other thoughts. It's the lack of sleep. Well the attempts probably were because you were depressed at the time. Try getting sleep Aid. Drink tea at night. Or get MidNite SleepAid. It's a dietary supplement it helps.

It's been 2 years since you posted this and probably nobody will ever read this but I'm in a bad situation, I already have depression and now because of my circumstances it is becoming so bad it is taking over my life! I chased away all of my friends and now I'm alone all day everyday. I am constantly convinced that everybody hates me which is sort of why my friends left. I'm going to a new school and I know I won't be able to make friends because I will tell myself everyone hates me. I am so scared and can't sleep at night. I have also been having panic attacks for 11 years now. What do I do!?
It feels like my heart is just going to stop beating at any second and I literally have to remind myself to breathe.

Lily35883 Hey lily, you are really really really really not alone in this. Whenever you feel bad, always say this to yourself: you are really really really not alone in this. I have had the exact same problem as you. One time I was crying for so many weeks nonstop that my mom sent me to live with my grandmother for a while. It's just what depression does sometimes. And now I'm older, I have been through depression many times but I learned by now how to control it. I had no friends in school, just like you. But I changed a lot and it was amazing how much I became more who I want to do. It takes years of practice, of telling myself "I am normal" and "i will be happy". And although now I'm not always in a happy place, i know that eventually I will get back to this happy place. What you need to do is practice, practice, practice how to tell yourself constantly that your happiness is not related to the outside and that you Decide to be happy! That you defy the world and everyone and be happy anyway! That's how I imagine myself: I am a fighter and depression is my enemy! And we will prevail!

Hey Lily
You need to relax. When you're having a panic attack breathe. Try to calm yourself down. Talk to yourself. Well not out loud if you're in public. But in your mind. Positive feedback. Tell yourself, "I will be fine." "I just need to breathe nothing bad will happen." Relax and imagine something that will calm you down. Imagine you're at the beach and the water is hitting your feet. Imagine the sound of the water. Listen to Beethoven. Your friends don't hate you. Nobody does. Be positive and tell yourself positive affirmations about yourself. Believe in yourself. Always ignore the negative thoughts and tell yourself positive things in your mind. You can do it.💪 No one hates you. You can make friends. Smile at them and be friendly. 👏💜🙌 I hope you get better.👍💞
