He said that to all of us, who among any humans says that to us, NO ONE, even if they did...it's for a couple of days..months...even years..but then it ends...but God will be here FOREVER
Depression will come and go...it's not only teen years..but no...everyone faces depression from the teens to the adults to everyone who lost somthing in their life and feel lonely...but we just need to have faith tht God is always going to be there no matter what.
God Bless :),

- if u feel jesus within u, u should never feel that way
are use ok ?? im getin worried now :-\
the bestest, coolest thing to do, is forget bout EVERYTHING and Thank God your not muslim.. :P
ahah. i know sounds funny, and kinda offensive, but to YOURself its TRUE, and its GOOD to know ;)
i do it all the time, and it always works...
I will tell you something I like it so much..
Think about any thing like the cross and imagen you are standing at the front of jesus on the cross ..!! and bring a note and write exactly what you fell .......
And what you wanna say to him it dose not matter what you feel but write it down...
Now for example imagen your self stand withe the disciples when they sow jesus for the first time after he rise from the deth...
what do you think what was they real reaction at this strong moment and what would be yours...!!!
Write it down and see after that what will be your felling.
I have notes from 1995 I never stoped .....and I will not.
God bless
You are in my prayers, many of the suggestions here are great and I'm glad to see many of us trying to help, it shows a real sense of brotherhood and sisterhood in Christ.
And now my 2 cents...well, I can definately identify with you and I'm sure many others can as well. All I can say is STICK TO CHURCH! Sadly I did the opposite and found myself down an even harder more painful road, but thanks to my friends and sunday school teachers I was brought back...and trust me it changed me.
So the moral of the story I just mentioned is, stick to your faith, talk to your FOC (which does wonders for me), talk to your sunday school teachers, they have experience in this, and just stay close to God, by keeping Him infront of you at all times like armour, you will never face an obstacle you can never handle.
Oooh one last tip, listening to soft christian music helps me calm down or relax, OOH! TASBEHA especially tasbeha!
Random babblings as usual brought to you by me! :)
Hope something made sense!

hello all
i havent posted in a hwile bvut i saw your post and saw a key phrase (dont get me wong i also listen to music)...but i dont think rock is teh best thing to get rid of depression because thats what its known for letting off emotions of depression ("EMO")
bands like Taking Back Sunday or getting you pumped like the hard rock bands like Limpbizkit and Linkin Park. If you keep getting depressed i would recommend tasbeha its beautiful especially arepsalin
thats my opinion
aghape,
chris
P.S. The note idea is beautiful
This is the commandment of St. Anthony the Great to his diciples:
( In every place and at all times say:
My Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me
My Lord Jesus Christ help me
I praise You O My Lord Jesus Christ. )
It had helped me in the past, and it sure helps me at any time I envoke the Name of the Lord .
You can repeat this prayer, either silently or with soft voice if you are alone, many times.
If you use to practise this exercise at all time, it will be a part of of you. It will replace your ordinary nonsense thought, even you will awake at night finding yourself saying it.
It might be not easy in the begining, it just need practise, especialy when you feel down.
We all want to hear from you C.A.P. Please comunicate with us and may the Lord help you and bless you.

I blame school for all of our problems >:( ...
Actually for some weird reason, the only place I smile now is at school. I think thats because thats where all my friends are.
sorry for being so random.
To gurl-servant, talking to your FOC helps because he is so wise, he always has the right things to say. Imagine how many people have been to him with the same problem, he's so experienced! To me, it's like my FOC is the only one who understands, and you can be certain he will never tell anybody what you tell him. What more could you want from a man?! lol :P...
"I mean every teen goes through this and even I'm going through this too right now but I don't think that talking with ur FOC helps, especially when ur in my position"
May I ask what position?.... ???
Peace and God Bless!
C.A.P.
I'm going through a major bout of depression right now.....so, as Jesus Himself said, "Physician, Heal thyself!"......unfortunately, Canada is light-years ahead of America as far as health-care goes, so that option is not as readily available to me as it is to you
another thing is to find out what you're good at and keep doing that...you'll get immense satisfaction out of "playing out your role" in life (in fact, that's the whole moral of Ecclesiastes)......
rock?....I like my rock too, but sometimes you have to switch to another forms of music when the emotional times are rough....not even necessarily Christian music (although that would be excellent too)....try something more "upbeat" like reggae or "pop" (I use that term in the looser AMG definition).....I find Paul Simon useful to this end......
Something else I do is this: pick a certain quiet time (preferably when no one else is in the house), go to a quiet place, turn off the lights and put candles on, turn on a REALLY, REALLY relaxing cd (like some sort of ambient music)....and just CHILL (just lay there).....I recommend focusing on your breathing during this time
sorry 4 the long post....
thanx....
C.A.P.
love4all....I'm interested in dropping out and living under a bridge... ;D

the position that I'm in is...well...u know when u really don't want to talk with anybody and so u want to just lock urself in a room cuz people just keep bothering u to find out whats wrong...well yea that feeling
sorry its hard to explain :-\
no offence but I happen to know that my FOC doesn't have lots of experience with teens cuz he is a new priest and all...so I kinda dougt that he will understand what I'm going through.
I'm sorry its just that I havn't confessed in a while cuz I just don't feel comfortable with him...not that their is anything wrong with the priest.
Am I the only one having this feeling? :-[
yes gurl-servant i totally agree with u.. school is the only place i smile too.. then the rest of the time im in this ****py depressed mood that i cant get out of.. its like something is holding me and wont leave me alone.. im trying to get it off me but i dont know how cuz my other ways arent working...
C.A.P.
I think me and u are going through the same thing. :-\
and the worse thing is... I can't make this feeling stop
C.A.P.
gurl-servant ya i think we might be.. and ya no matter what u do the feeling doesnt go away.. you dont really have control of it... i have np with my FOC, he's amazing and he is young so im lucky.. he's like a buddy to me so i really have np with him.. but i really need to find something to do about this feeling!!! cuz its drivin my crazy!
C.A.P.
Well u know what, if I ever find out how to get rid of this feeling I'll tell u and I hope this will be likewise :-\
