i've been suffering from depression since sixth grade (~2003-2004). I've been on medication for it since then & on Valentines Day last year (2-14-08) I had to drop out of school & go into out-patient treatment. I have been recovering since then.. I now compete in beauty pageants & I want to spread my message to girls that we are all beautiful & that RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE!

I think that the best way to help is to just be available to girls. A lot of times, the best way to help is to just say, "I know what you're going through, and I'm here for you." having someone to listen is SUCH a blessing.

ive been suffering with depression since 5th grade. i am now in 8th and its hard trying to stay positive especially in middle school where ur always being put down.
It is an everyday struggle. i constantly cry myself to slp at night. Ppl always take advantage of me. i hav no one. I dont want to tlk to my family. i just realized my friends arent really friends so i come to u, the ppl who read this for advice.

I haven't been to a psychologist, so I haven't been officially diagnosed with depression, but I'm almost positive I have it. For whatever reason, some days just seem better than others, and I fear the really bad days. It's scary, because I'm still here, but it feels like someone else is in control of my mind and body.

One day I was in the kitchen making dinner, and I was using a large knife, and I could see myself doing something terrible. It was the scariest moment of my life.

I can't stand it when people who don't know what I'm going through try to lecture me. I love my friends, and they're the ones who talk me out of doing something stupid most times, but they tell me things I know aren't true. They tell me that it's not worth it, or that it can't be that bad, or that I need to stop, but they don't get it. They don't get what the pain feels like. Feeling like your not in control, like you're drowning. I don't enjoy being depressed. I wish it would stop.

I know I should see a psychologist or get some sort of help, but I don't know how. I'm also not sure how I should approach my mother. I don't like her very much. She knows something's wrong, but she has all the wrong ideas as to what. What should I do?
