I think today has triggered a relapse of my depression (Please help, I need to know what to do)?
To go into the background details, I got bullied really badly for years and years, I got depression and anxiety issues, I had therapy for about a year and then I felt better. But today, my sister and I were walking when she got into an argument with a group of boys. They then spat at me in public and I was so humiliated. I got home and started crying, so my mum took me to their school to lodge a complaint. By then, I was in hysterics and even had a panic attack on the way there (a very short one). I haven't had a panic attack since the day I complained to my own school about the bullying I'd suffered. Now, I've been crying for about an hour and I'm really worried that these are showing that I've relapsed into depression again - you see, when I was bullied, people used to spit at me and call out really awful things, just like these boys did. However, the people that did it to me before didn't get punished properly - an hour's detention - and I was too tired to complain formally to my own school about their punishment. Now I just want to be normal again, like I was before, but I don't know how to move on. Please please help, this is killing me.
I'm so depressed, i can hardly do anything?
Im so depressed right now I can hardly get off my bed. I feel like an empty shell, lifeless and so out-of-energy. Even crying seems to take so much energy... but damn im in so much pain right now. It feels like im holding this really heavy weight, which I can't throw away.. and neither can I carry on holding it. Im so tired of being tired. I cry alot these days and feel quite guilty when my mum catches me because she ends up being depressed as well. Its my fault. But its not like Im a cry-baby (maybe I am these days) or sensitive, im actually the school's 'spirit' and the shoulder you can cry on. Many adults point out im older than my age. Though i have many friends, im extremely lonely. Im sure they are fed up of me accidenly crying over the phone etc. No one should put up with it, but me. My very young kitten (1.5 months) is dying..im still trying my best but he has reached the last stage, we're expecting his death today :(. He is the only thing I value.. and I havent had a chance with him. I love him. I've been abused when I was young.. Im in a disgusting country and got constant racisim when I was young. Though I never forgot those painful remarks, they have made me stronger and now none of those racists get in my way. But that doesnt mean the hurt is over. I dont know what im asking.. I guess its better than carrying a heavier weight. A 15 year old.
Can't focus on anything, what can I do to beat depression?
Maybe yo do need a break right now. Sometimes I can’t focus while working and end up daydreaming and procrastinating.And then I get on my bed and scribble on a notebook (I work from home). I thought, “Wow, I missed lazy times like this.” That’s when I realized that taking a break and giving yourself a quota of lazy time is important for productivity, whether for a work or hobby.Allow yourself and compromise with the bad moods. You’re not forcing yourself to perform just like everybody else. You’re never obliged to.Always remember this is not the first time you have to deal with depression.Try maintaining a healthier lifestyle. Eat enough protein to keep you strong. Fiber and wheat is also good for you if you can eat gluten. I feel better when I eat oatmeal regularly and taking vitamin B supplements when needed.Turmeric also helps relieving my nerves fatigue.Drink enough water to increase metabolism. Exercise a little. Dance like Shakira. Laugh at yourself!

I feel so depressed. I must finish my homework and I just can't. Help?
I've been there. Here are some things I did: *Beat up my pillow. I just let loose and beat the damn thing. *Allowed myself some "sheet therapy" and asked for extensions on the work. *Made a list of what I actually did that day. I got up, I used the computer, I expressed my feelings, called a friend, ate lunch, took a nap ....everything counts! *Broke up my work into easy and difficult: did only the easy ones, whether or not they were important. *Lowered my expectations for the day. Did the best I could. *Shared my story and feelings with someone who's gone through something similar. *Decided to find a counselor to talk to to get me through a tough time. *Distracted myself: watched videos, listened to music, took a walk in nature, asking why. *Remembered that I didn't always feel this way, and I will feel better again. Wishing you the best. L
