When will it all go away?

[eve000]

Im 14 and have been diagnost with severe anxiety and depression. Ive had it for about a year and a half. Ive been on so many different medications and have seen many different counclers and therapists but nothing seems to work. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Every time i walk into or past my school i have a panic attack, and im on lorazepam. most days i cant even get out of bed. People keep telling me its just a teenage thing and ill grow out of it, but when? And what others options are there besides taking drugs and talking to therapists? I think about suicide every day but im told im being a drama queen because i live a comfortable live. I just want my life or all of this to be over.

Hi, I am 14 years old going on 15, and I have gone through a similar thing. I know it's hard going through tough times like this; trust me I've been there. But please, don't think about taking your own life away from yourself.  If you've told someone about your suicidal thoughts and they said that you're acting like a "drama queen", they should reconsider their words, as suicide is a very serious and dangerous thought/issue.  The value of your life is much more important than you know.  We're only 14 years old; we don't know what the future has in store for us, but think about the potential that you and I hold for a better adult life.  We have been given one life to live as we are, we shouldn't waste it.  Live to the fullest.  If you tell me a little bit more about your situation maybe I could help more, but please consider what I've said.

Best regards, Anonymous 14 year old girl :)

So, I'm 19. At 14 I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I totally understand what you are going through. I would spend hours in a closest with the lights off in my study hall teachers room because I was crying my eyes out. It's hard, it really is. But it's worth it. I tried committing suicide when I was 14 but I failed. Thank God. You have so much to look forward to, it may not seem like it now but you really do. I know you asked if there's any other options then just therapy, but maybe look into group therapy. Also you need to share with someone these thoughts about dying. I know it's scary but I believe in you. If you are having issues keeping up with school talk to your parents (and therapists if you have one) about getting a 504 plan. I had one in high school, which helped a lot. What really helped me these past few years is finding something I enjoy that can occupy my mind; writing, dance, working, etc.

Please if you have any questions just ask me. I believe in you and I know you have a bright future.

you are not a drama queen , even the richest and most famous people suffer from anxiety and depression, everyone is different in coping skills, you will find your etch no one is the same, hang on, and if you need to change meds do so,
