This is seriously hard especially since your only 16. I had and still have those moments where the feelings of depression get so intense that I find myself trying to do the same thing. I have cut myself, pierced myself, beat walls, the only thing I haven't done was do drugs, they just weren't for me. I like to have control over how I feel even somewhat.
The first thing you have already done. You know that there is a problem and that the feelings are much too intense and that you need help.
You need to find a therapist, this is step 2. You need someone who understands, someone to talk to. It doesn't mean that you need to take pills, you just need to talk and find out what the rock is and why you cant move around it or through it. This step is a lot harder, because now you have to admit to other people. Be careful on who you tell because they can cause problems for you when it seems like they want to help.
You are a brave soul, keep being brave and keep fighting. Fight for you, there is a reason why you feel the way you do. Later in life you would come to grips with that and maybe you are to help other with the same problems/feelings that you have. No one here can tell you what to do, it is all up to you. Good luck and write it out if need be. Health Question & Answer

If you've had depression for 2 years, it must be really terrible for you. You really need to see a school counsellor as a start. Talking to other people can help, but when you are seriously depressed, not even the best, most helpful friend can help you.
I don't like medicines, but if your brain chemicals are out of balance, medicines may be necessary. I know people who have tried everything else, but only medication has worked. They have wondered why they didn't try them sooner. On the other hand, if it is not too serious, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy could help you. It teaches you to think in another way.
Yoga and relaxation techniques can also help, but I'm afraid, after 2 years, it would probably be in conjunction with medication.
In Australia you can contact the 'Beyond Blue' helpline which gives excellent phone counselling, but I don't know where you are. Look in your phone book to see if there is anything similar where you live.
Whatever you do, remember, the sooner you get help, the sooner you can make a faster, fuller recovery and have better healthHealth Question & Answer

First of all, I really suggest you talk to a counsellor. Spill all your problems out, think of them, and what caused the problem to take place. Look at your life, how different is it from the past.? Don't you want it to be the same again.?
Don't turn to drugs for happiness. They don't make you happy...it's the chemical reaction/effect of the drug that makes you ''high'', but it's laughter that makes you happy. Drugs makes you "happy" for 10 minutes, while a joke can make you laugh for a long time, and it will make you laugh again when you recall it in future.
Secondly, look outside the window. Look at the wonderful world outside. You have a whole life ahead of you, and I understand that you really want to help yourself because you are willing to share your problems here, and have the guts to admit that you use drugs. You do want to be happy and drug-free, don't you.?
Don't cut yourself. Before you feel like cutting myself, think of the reason why you want to cut yourself. Do you want to release the pain.? Cutting is never a way to release the pain. And neither is using physical pain to distract yourself from emotional pain. Then, think of why you shouldn't cut yourself. It'll leave scars, it hurts, you don't deserve the cuts.
"Life is about the struggle, not triumph".
I believe you can do it, you will stop using drugs and carry on living as a healthy, happy person. All you need is a little push. Make more friends, smile more. Laugh at jokes, look outside the window to see the beautiful world, to see all the fun stuff you can do.
May God bless you, and don't give up.

When people blame 'hormones' for depression it is really irritating. Depression in teenagers is just as serious as depression in adults. Cutting helps, I know it really feels like it does and I know that in your current state of mind it is hard to see a future but sometimes think about the scars you will be left with. The explanations. Please get professional help, if you don't find the right person/medication (hopefully both) the first time round, don't give up! You have to keep trying because when you find that person who can help it is lifechanging. Try to confide in a friend or family member who you truly trust who can help support you.
