Ok this isn't the first post about the difficulties in my life and it probably won't be the last but I'm in desprate need of anwsers, I have severe depression and anxiety, I can't get a job and don't think I will anytime soon, I used to beleive in therapy now I don't, I keep trying new meds and new problems occur because of it, I need to know what to do I can't go to any adult or counseler because my parent already are trying to help and aren't getting far( they simply can't get over the fact that I act so differently now then I did 3 yrs ago) and I just don't have a counseler or place to get one, my parents can't find any place to help me around where we live, I'm having trouble doing homework, and my therapist keep saying I'm to angry to do any exersices with, so I'm left to drowned in the sea of my own hell. I'm 16 and I'm really scared and all my life my parents have been able to help me but they can't anymore, what do I do?

Have you considered going on a gluten-free diet? Or cutting out sugar? Or even better both?

I have found that completely eliminating gluten, and almost completely cutting out sugar, makes a huge difference to my mental health, both mood, ( depression, anxiety/panicky feelings, overwhelm, etc ), and cognitive function, ( memory, clarity, etc ), aswell as sleep and energy levels.

I can not testify for a healthy diet, but....

I used to, and still do have some very bad mood swings. I have taught myself some methods that keep me sane but sometimes its almost like I start back and square one and have no intentions of getting better. What always helps me keep a positive attitude, and I'm sure MANY MANY people tell you this, and if your like me whenever someone gives you advice and your in a bad mood, it will just go out one ear and out the other.... But you need to believe in yourself. I mean whatever talent your interested in, pick it up, learn something that most people don't, and achieve sometime no one else has. The way I stay healthy and content is doing what I love and that is music, photography, or writing.

I picked up a camera my senior year for yearbook, had little to no expierence and yet I got third in the state of TX, and only because I wanted to show people what I was capable of.

Belive in yourself and everyday repeat atleast five to seven things you are grateful about yourself for. Its almost like a jump start for me, because more often than not I will bring up negative aspects of myself. I find that the worst, the world beats me up enough as it, and my mind is the only safe haven I can go to at any time. Out with the bad in with the good

First you need to get all your toxins out, then you will be able to work from there.

That means raw fruit and vegetables for atleast 2 months, more if you feel like it. During month 2, do as much exercise as possible since that will keep your depression down, and smile! Once you get the hang of smiling on a raw fruit diet, you just can't stop! (Except of course in a stressful social situation, but thats understable)

Also get a new interest, thats the best way to combat meaninglessness. Perhaps look into alternative biology and physics? For that a good start would be www.suppressedscience(.)net, since it contains a lot of links, sources and information on theorieses you have heard of, but just in a ridiculed and unserious way, and those you have never EVER heard of.

Trust me, get interested in the alternative side to things and you will not be bored for atleast 3 months.

When I was your age, I was in the Air Cadets. I got to fly in all kinds of aircraft (including a Sea King rescue helicopter) and stay in RAF bases all over the UK -- I even got to stay at RAF Akortiri in Cyprus on two occasions.

My point is that when you do something positive with your life, good things usually happen. Get out there and try something new!
