Not sure if I can keep going on?

Question

I'm just so sick and tired of having to battle through each day in high school. I'm living with depression, I have about 3 friends, only one of which I can rely on and I feel myself drifting away from her. I'm in year 9 right now and it's just been going downhill from there. I'm just so done with high school and the ******* "popular kids" and in most lessons I'm with people I barely know, and in my school you can't just up and make friends with people, that's not how it works. I was diagnosed with anxiety a few years ago, went to therapy, and now it's gone but it left me with pretty mild depression and its just been growing and growing and now it's unbearable. I don't know what I want to hear. Perhaps some words of advice from someone that's been there? I don't want to do anything I'll regret.

Update:

-been going downhill from year seven, I mean.

Feeling like that can be horrible, and I totally understand how you feel. School can cause and trigger a lot of stress and depression etc but you can get help for it and get through it.

I'd try talking to someone you trust, and if a teacher or school counsellor is around, maybe confide in them if you feel you can.

If you're in the UK there's plenty of help available, through your GP especially (who can refer to the appropriate services). However, there is also self help too (http://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/) which can be really beneficial if you give it a go and stick at it.

Things will be ok soon, even if it takes time and effort to feel better. Take the good times as hope and promise, and appreciate them when they do happen.

Best of luck and stay strong :)

Instead of relying on friends at school, why don't you branch out and join a nice Christian Church.  You will find plenty of young people in a really good Church such as Pentecostal for example and you will be accepted and soon find friends who will pray for you and love you.

None of us can survive in this world without the Lord Jesus Christ and it's only who fool who tries to because God wants a relationship with us and He will help you at times of depression and comfort you and help you.

I have never regretted joining our local Church and enjoying fellowship with many different folks of different ages.

You can even have counselling from a either Pastor or Youth Leader etc who will understand how you feel and pray for you and advise you and you will always have a place to go, someone to 'phone, friends to go out with, Church to worship the Lord in.  It's wonderful believe me.

And the cream on the cake is that you can receive Jesus as Saviour, be water baptized by full immersion and go to heaven when you die instead of hell.

Jesus died for you so that you wouldn't have to suffer the effects of depression and so forth.

Don't hesitate.  Make next Sunday the day and just walk in to the Church and explain that you have never been before and would appreciate someone helping you to settle in etc.

Genuine Christians will be only too pleased to help you and will not critical of you for feeling as you do either.
