lately iv been feeling reallly depressed. I'm 18 and have 4 months of school left. i'm behind on school work cause I just moved recently to a new district. I want to go to counsling but I have no way to get there. I live w/ my brother and hes always working. I don't drive yet. the school counsler is always busy. I need to talk to someone. any ideas?
Answer:talk to me !!!
your going to have to seek someone out. start by talking to your brother, maybe he can assist you in finding someone. don't assume the counselor is too busy. that is their job.
go to a local parish if you are religious, they are good to talk with sometimes,
Or I found this website it lists 4 different help lines for teens to call to talk.
DONT take any peds..
and what u're feeling is normal since u're new in town..
just try and make new friends..
and contact ur friends from ur old school or talk to ur brother about how u're feeling,,
just dont worry and try to find something to get urself busy with and im sure everything will work out just fine =)
You should see a mental health doctor, if you can't look in you phone book for a hot line for this type of problem so you can talk to someone. DON'T TAkE MEDICINE'S MEANT FOR SOMEONE ELSE, THE MEDS ARE VERY POWERFUL AND NEED TO BE MONITORED BY A HEALTH CARE PRO.
perhaps try confiding in a teacher in school about your problems, they may be able to offer advice, get you an appointment with a counsellor and may also cut you some slack in your work. The school counsellor is there for a reason, they will make time for you if you go to see them. Also try visiting your doctor...you may not be depressed but are just finding life abit tough with the move and need someone to talk to.good luck pet!
I would suggest setting up an appointment with your school counsler, this way not only can he/she help you but they will also be able to provide you with a list of other free sources that could help you. Also you are welcome to email me and we can talk, im a 22 year old female that is always willing to lend an ear. =)
