I used to have a problem with depression. And I tried everything. I didn't have very many friends to hang out with, so I did things that made me happy. I ate what I wanted, listened to my favorite music and danced, watched my favorite shows, etc etc. And though all these things and more brought me happiness.. It was only temporary. It was an unsatisfying happiness. And I would cut myself alot and looked for methods of dealing with depression.. Little did I know that I had the answers not just to what I had been asking, but for all things, written down in a book right in front of me. I went for God and nothing has ever made me happier. Not only for now, but for always. For eternity. Because his song doesn't end, his his grace doesn't fade, his love doesn't leave, and his greatness doesn't slow.

Hey Girl. This will be my official first post on here. I saw this post when you first posted it; went to reply and my mom said it is time to leave. Your post has been on my mind these days. I go to this all girls bible study on Friday nights. We talk about real stuff and it isn't meant to harm or condemn anyone. We are here for the unchurched girls and the girls going through hard stuff. Like you. Like me. Like EVERY single other girl.  We started these things called a prayer journal. I know it sounded Cliche to me at first too. But it does help when I began to think about it. Every time you are mad, happy, sad, grateful, depressed-write to God. Somedays this will feel stupid and childish and somedays you will feel one-on-one with God.  Other people have commented on praying or jouranaling. This is doing both! :) Try everyday to write something. May it be a word that descsribes you or a full page of that day's events. Tell God. He really wants to hear it. When you are at school and someone tells you something about your friend you are like wow. But wouldn't you much rather here it from your friend? So does God. He knows what is happening in your life. He'd just rather you tell him about it. Start with today. Dear God, today sucked because....And go from there! Hoped I helped in anyway. *∞ Prayers*

I know exactly how you are feeling and believe me I know it's not easy. People around me told me to just be happy but I always said, "I don't have a choice, I can't just wake up and say that I'm not going to be depressed." For a while I would just lay in bed all day and eat. Then one day I realized that the world won't stop for me. Everyone else is moving on with their lives. So I grabbed my devotionals and my Bible. The more I spent my time with God the better I felt. Pray and pray, bring your worries to God and he will take them away from you. I promise you this won't last forever.

Music is good. It really helped me. Pray, talk to people you trust about it. I decorated my room so it's all colorful and happy. Really stick with God and follow God's will and He'll bring you out of it, I promise :)

I like music :) Whenever I'm depressed I always get my headphones and start bopping my head to the beat, I also play guitar so occasionally I'll get my guitar and play some songs or even write some, maybe writing poetry will help? Or maybe writing.......writing can take you to a different world, it can give you a new life, and you can change it to be whatever you want :) Also praying helps a LOT. Always pray and talk to God, He can always help you during depression. I'll be praying for ya!

Hey, I went through a long time with feeling really depressed. And during that whole entire time I was really self-conscious about myself, I always felt really sick, I felt like nobody liked me anymore, I didn't get what the point was of living day to day (I didn't want to kill myself like you I just had no interest in doing anything), and I also didn't sleep very well. Because of all this too I ended up losing about ten pounds. That might not sound like a lot, but I'm not even five foot, so ten pounds on someone really short is a lot. But anyway, the way I dealt with a lot of my depression is just through God. I completely just gave him my life. I asked him to bring me happiness and joy.  I struggled a lot with personal appearance too. I never thought I was every beautiful, so someone told me to look in the mirror every morning and say, "God made me. He made me beautiful, so I am beautiful." And it really does work. Trust me. At first I thought it was stupid, but really after a while I realized that what I am saying is true. I encourage you instead to try saying, "God made me. He loves me. He can bring me joy and happiness, because he is my joy and happiness." Try it see if it works. Also, just pray and read your Bible. It might be hard at times, I know, when you just feel like you have no motivation to do, but try. And if your not motivated to read, there are a few Bible reading apps where you can just sit and listen to the Bible then. Listen to anything really. Maybe particular Psalms, but I think God can speak to you through anything. 

Now don't be like me and try to hide that you are depressed. I did for most of the time that i was. Every morning when I dragged myself out of bed, it was like I was putting on a mask, so people wouldn't know how I felt, but as soon as I was alone I was miserable. And no one ever knew, and only now have I started to let people know. Let people know how you feel and then they can help cheer you up. 

Hopefully this helps, and I will pray that God will help you to beat your depressions. I know girl its tough, and its a horrible feeling. I'm here for you.
