Please help I really don't want to be depressed again?!


Question: Please help I really don't want to be depressed again.?
So last year I was diagnosed with depression (I was 14-15 years old). My mom died when I was 10 and it just really hit me last year. It was my first year of high school, I was anemic, and I was paranoid that everyone hated me. I didn't enjoy school and I never got invited anywhere, literally. The first time in my freshman year of hanging out with "friends" outside of school happened in May.

Anyway, I saw a psychiatrist and she really helped, but she was so expensive. I thought I was better, but tonight all my friends ditched me so I'm stuck home alone on Halloween. I really wanted to get dressed up in my costume and everything too. I don't want to go through depression again, but God I'm even crying as I type this. What can I do to avoid depression.?Health Question & Answer

i know how you feel. I'm a guy that just turned 17 one week ago Sunday (october 26) My mom died July 13 2007 and i struggled with it all of my 10th grade year now i'm a junior. I lived with my dad but we didn't get along so know i live with my grandmother and stepgrandfather i've never been popular,i don't play sports and was really overweight after my mom passed i was constantly eating,but now i do good to eat once a day. i've always been active but after my mom passed away i got to where i didn't even want to go anywhere or do anything, i was just constantly seeing that scenes from that morning playing back in my mind, just like a horar movie that scares you every time you see it, i am still struggling with that, but i'm getting back to my active lifestyle. Now i have more friends than ever, but i've still never been on a date( which makes me feel even worse and more self concious) I never get invited to go anywhere or do anything with my friends most of them won't even text me but we're getting better about texting each other back cause alot of times i don't text them back. i can't really relate to other teenagers, i'm always around adults when i'm not at school. i work alot and i never do anything i want to do because i'm always tring to make everyone else happy. i'm always thinking about death, and everyday i relive that morning. But now that i'm a junior and the 1st semester is over halfway over with i know what is coming next i'll be a senior next year and i know graduation is coming with that. I'm a Christian, but thats what I was raised as, and i personally know God recently He has helped me to keep it all together and not ruin my life, and everyday since then I know that every step i take the Lord is at my side walking through this Hell on Earth that i am in. Every time i hear someone mention being a senior i break down maybe not then masybe not in public but before i go to sleep at night iloose it cause i know that my mom won't be there when i graduate and i know that after that my friends and i will go to college and i'll hardly ever see or talk to them anymore, i don't want to offend anyone, but i know its more weight than i could carry alone and i know it's not a 'higher power' holding up some of the weight to keep it from breaking my back, and spirit, but it is God, Our Lord and Our Savior, The Creator who keeps me from giving up and without my God i wouldn't still be alive in this world but would be burning in the pits of Hell right nowHealth Question & Answer

Depression is a mental illness and unfortunately those who have it can't avoid it. Your psychiatrist should have given you depression medication to help with recurring episodes. There is no official way to deal with it or prevent it. Pray to God to help you feel good about yourself and you just have to know that you love yourself and when that happens people will love you too.Health Question & Answer

Lighten up. Look towards things that are positive. I know that sounds clich
