[10:14 am]
[I faced that weird sensation again. That feeling; my emotions start to get the best of me. Melancholy, sadness, reminising the past. Is this what depression is all about. i can't seem to get a firm hold on myself. It's frightening.]

contemplate suicide Deal with Depression!! It's okay to be depressed. Admit it, then try to identify the cause. It might be difficult, but stick to your normal routine. Change (whether it is positive or negative) is a source of stress and can intensify depression. Plan some quiet times each day when you can relax, pamper yourself, do something you enjoy, or just 'get away from it all'. Do something you enjoy. Join an activity in school or the community centre, read your favourite book or go shopping! Fresh air always helps - don't stay cooped up at home! Talk to someone!
