Dont know what to do |
Hey, my name is Lior and here is my story:
I am a 17 year old who lives in Florida. I was originally born in
Israel, moved to california when I was 13, then moved to Florida at
the age of 15. Ever since I lived in the United States I have
experienced major and minor depressions. The two years I lived in
California I thought a lot of suicide and just did not want to live
anymore. I did not have anyone to talk to and since I barely knew
english it was even harder on me. Then I moved to Florida. At the
beginning I was quite happy because I had lots of friends in school.
After a while I thought I will be able to get closer to them and hang
out with them, but as time went by I only got further away from them.
The two years so far that I live in Florida I did not think of suicide
but had many depressions and sometimes came home going to my room and
start crying. Lately, loneliness really got into me. I am a Junior in
high school and I really got no one close to talk to. I think
sometimes of going to consuling but then think 'what is the use'. I
sometimes wonder to myself what is the reason I have hard times making
friends. I know that my shyness is one of the major reasons, and I
dont find myself very good looking although some say I am. I am really
lost right now and would accept anything you got to say.
Please reply
Lior.

I live in Israel for over seven years now... Been through the high school
here, and now serving the army. Although we're in different countries, I
know exactly what you feel... Let me tell you something - therapy, this
thing that so many people say is no use for them - is really important. And
if you don't want therapy - there's another way - which is anti-depressants.
I'm on Prozac now, and although I understand the dangers in it (for
examples - I might have to take it till the rest of my life) - I do feel
better than I felt two or three months ago. I am getting out of it slowly -
and you can too. I am going to go see a shrink too, because I don't think
anti-depressants only is the complete way out, but that's might be a start
for you. Don't let it get away just because you feel there's no use for it.
Try it yourself, and then decide.

has anyone suggested that you do? do you have any particular
counselor in mind?

I would recommend first.

It's really hard to recommend any particular .org or professional
whom one doesn't know, but I can recommend the NAMI NYC telephone
line 212 684 3264 because I know the ppl there.

if your only thought about consulting is 'what's the use',
then why not give it a try? can't really hurt to try, either,
could it? most high schools have counselors or a psychologist
available to students. you might feel much better if you talk
to someone about this stuff in real life.

It may help you find out why you're having these difficulties, will
give you someone to talk to, and may help figure out ways of coping.
