A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I've gone through depression, and I mean I've been through it really hard. I ended up way better, and I'm thankful I'm happy again.

But I feel like my life is slipping away again, and I'm slowly going back into depression. I've been practically through hell, and I'm so scared to go through it again.

I'm so scared to be depressed like that again, but it seems like every day I keep having those sad moments, and it seems like they are starting to happen a lot more often, which this is how I ended up in depression last time. It was slow.

I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me? Tell me anything I can do to stop from spiraling back into depression. I'm only 16, and my last depression lasted 2 1/2 years. I'm so scared of whats going to happen this time.

I don't wanna go through depresion twice. Please, if you know anything that can help me from slippping back into it, I'd be so thankful.

supersofi agony auntThere are several things you can do. Firstly contact your doctor. Also if you have any idea where this depression is coming from, if you have any idea of the cause get yourself counselling, and contact a self help group for teenagers in your area.

There is help out there, believe in yourself enough to seek the help and stick at it. You are young enough to make a difference to your life and have a brighter future if you just believe that you are woth it.

Twenty years ago I was suffering from severe depression and somehow I survived and now when I look back I am so glad I didnt succeed with the thoughts that were going through my head at the time.

Get the help hun you deserve it.
