I've been properly diagnosed with clinical depression and I feel like Im alone. In my school, I'm the only one who is medically diagnosed with it, and everyone seems to know and avoids me because of it. I take Zoloft, but it just makes me feel worse. I have been suicidal before, but my friends, who I owe my life to, slapped ((litteraly)) some sense into me.

Are you currently seeing a counseller? I think that would be a good first step. Although you may feel like your alone in this right now, you're not. There's many people out there that have and are going through the same thing. As much as you may think you are the only one in your school that is diagnosed with clinical depression Im willing to bet that your not. Im sure there is someone else in your school with the same thing but people just don't know about. If the medication you are taking makes you feel worse I suggest you go to your doctor and get it changed. Always remeber that suicide is not the answer. Its just a permant solutions to a temporary problem. There are many reasons why you should live even if you may not see them right now there is. People love you and care about you and would be very upset if you were ever to follow through with suicide. Just always remeber YOU ARE NOT ALONE and Im sure you will find others on this board who are dealing with the same thing. My PM box is always open so feel free to PM me anytime. Also, In the middle of the top of the page there is a black box thats says "Teen Support online". If you ever want a immediate answer or just to talk to someone one on one you should go there. There is skilled operators that are there to talk to you about anything. If theres not available you can always leave a message for one and they will respond as soon as they can.
Im here whenever you need to talk! Take care.

Its good that your friends care that much! It can be hard to find friends who acctually care.
I also think that there is probably atleast one other person in your school who has the same thing. Many people in the world today are depressed for different reasons. They're right you aren't alone by any means. For one you have us. and you have your friends and family to support you.
Maybe ask your doctor if they have like group meetings for people with clinical depression where they get together and talk about how its affecting them and what not. I know LOTS of people dont like doing that but if you wouldn't mind doing it, it could help you. Just a suggestion tho!
Take care. Hope to hear from you!!

hi there! my name is karlee and i was diagnosed with depression/anxiety disorder almost a year ago, so i can tell you from experience i know what you are going through. i'm on my 3rd type of medication for it, because some just do not work right for your body. at the moment i am on zoloft also and i noticed that at first it made me sick and stuff but then i started taking it at night because if there are any symptoms you sleep through them and feel better in the morning. i know how alone you feel and how awful it is, but remember that we are here too! we would love to offer you advice or help you with any little thing you are going through at any given time. along with the meds my parents also forced me to see a psychologist, which sounds creepy, but she's alright. i have to admit she has actually helped me with a lot of things, and we are working through the rest. please please please do not hurt yourself and if you ever think about suicide contact me or someone else immediately. ive been through that more than once but you need to keep yourself safe. this may sound creepy but you might want to make yourself a 'crisis list' with several (at least 2) plans of action in the case of thinking about suicide, some of which may include things like telling us here on teenvibe, making a list of 5 people to call in an emergency, or anything that would help you until you are feeling a little more rational. if you need any help feel free to post again or pm someone! -karlee
