Hey.

 Ive never felt what its like to lose someone like that before, but im so sorry =[

I totally understand how you feel about some things. Im 14, and im depressed but for other reasons than bereavment. My friends can see i need their help, but they just act like im invisible. My mum is even worse. i tried asking her for help and she literally told me shes 'given up on me'. So i get how you feel alone around your friends.

Some days i feel totally rubbish, and nothing helps. But for the days i can help myself, i find doing something i love helps. For onstance, i love playing guitar, so if i write a song then it compltely takes my mind of things that arent in the song. If theres anything you like doing, then try doing it whenever you feel real down. to be honest, sometimes i know nothing helps. But if anything can, with me its music =]

thanks, it is nice to know other people feel the same. I will try doing the music thing, but after, surely it would not take long for me to just fall straight back into the horrible way of feeling?
nevertheless, it sounds like a great idea, thank you :)

hi

sometimes you do fall back down again, but i find it almost makes me like numb to it all.....like if i dont think about it for long anough, then i can like refuse to start thinking again for a while. its similar to the twilight books (sorry to use a cheesy example). When Bella gets depressed, it says she has to choose between pain and numbness. If you can, choose numbness. It might not help, but its better than the pain.

Stay Strong x
