    Maybe you could write down how you feel in a journal or something. Nobody has to read it. A way I express myself is to draw, which you could try as well. Or, you could sit down with your best friend and have a serious conversation with him/her. You might even have something in common! You could also listen to some music that expresses how you feel. Hope this helps and you feel better soon!

    I used to be depressed once, so i know exactly the way you think. Our country would not have the proper help for depressed folks too, so I used to be struggling for relatively a while. The only thing that help me keep my sanity was once my neighbors. I've some pleasant chat associates that i can turn my head to whenever. So I think you need some associates too. They aren't gods, in many instances they can not do some thing however paying attention to me and my crying, but as a minimum they are there. The first thing that i might such as you to do is to take the temper stabilizer first. Do not consider about your exam first. And, do your mum and dad know about this? (If I must wager, I consider they don't. Correct?), If I have been you, and they do not know your problems, i'll simply take the mood stabilizer in minimum dose (ask your psych to do that) so that you can nonetheless learn to your exams. Don't mess your lifestyles with different issues first, just consider about your life and your assessments only for some time. After you finish your exam, come and face your different problems once more. Let's do this step by step. It is no longer viable to move a hill with a spoon, but we will move the soil step by step, and you can see that the hill won't be there sooner or later. Have faith, my pal. You are able to do this.

    Depression is an old problem. While under test, Job spoke as a man feeling abandoned by God. (Job 29:2-5) Concern over the devastated state of Jerusalem and its walls made Nehemiah gloomy, and Peter was so depressed about denying Christ that he wept bitterly. (Nehemiah 2:1-8; Luke 22:62) Epaphroditus was depressed because Christians in Philippi heard he had fallen sick. (Philippians 2:25, 26) Depression plagued some Christians in Thessalonica, for Paul urged the brothers there to “speak consolingly to the depressed souls.” (1 Thessalonians 5:14) So how does God help such individuals?

    A personal decision must be made about treatment for severe depression. (Galatians 6:5) Adequate rest and balanced activity may help. Instead of viewing several problems as one major plight, a depressed individual may find it helpful to work at solving them one at a time.

    I have a best friend who is covered in scars. They are with you forever, though they only help temporarily. Think about that. Why destroy your body for a few minutes of relief. You have to be strong for your family, and friends. Don't be selfish. If you have to think about whether to do it or not, than you have an option.
