Anxiety and depession

[Ellie.b]

I am new to this site and am a bit nervous about postion on here. Ive tried different websites but none of them have worked so im going to post here and will be greatful for any advice that can be given.

Im 15 years old and have bren bullied all my life but my major insecurities come from myself. At the age of 13 i lost a close family member and went through a hard time at school and found myself using self harm as a coping method. I have now bern diagnosed with depression and general anxiety. Ive tried every self medication possible apart from drugs, i sometimes see a councilor and also have medication. However i dont like to go to my meetings or take the meds as i feel weak and pathetic. None of this is helping and im running out of suport and hope.

Sorry that things are so difficult right now.

Can you explain what it is about the meetings that you don't like? Or why you don't want to go? Sometimes it can take a while to find someone you can talk to about your issues/thoughts so try not to lose hope.

Medication can be intimidating to take, especially when it can take months to get any benefits from them. However there is no shame in deciding that they aren't for you at all.

Don't be afraid to go back to your doctor to discuss other treatment options.

Mental health issues can be overwhelming to deal with, but you can do it. Be kind to yourself and take each day as it comes.

You're not weak or pathetic. There is nothing pathetic about seeing someone or taking meds. It is strong. It is powerful.

Take care of yourself, and please do keep talking to us <3
