[Chris Earls]

I’m a 16 year old in high school and have been depressed for at least a year now. My social life is restricted to a few people who I would call acquaintances more than friends. For a while during my depression I thought of killing myself, but I could never go through with it. I still think about it every once and a while, but know it isn’t a way out. I can seem to only think about mistakes I have made in life. No matter how hard I try I can only think of a few times in my life where I was truly happy. To add to my troubles I have recently gotten inexplicable headaches. I want to talk to someone, but I don’t want to go to my parents or anyone who knows me for fear it will effect how they treat me. Is there anywhere I can go to anonymously?

I hope that you are still around and that you have gotten professional help. I have a long history of depression and it’s been difficult to go thru the trial and error of getting the right meds to treat the problem without giving unacceptable side effects, but it’s worth the effort. There are clinics that take patients on a sliding fee scale and I hope you’ve found help. Life can be better. You might also seek some self-help groups. If there’s any alcoholism or drug use in you or a family member, try AA or Al-Anon. They’re both free. Just Curious
