Was feeling so depressed
16 year old female
Every night I was feeling so depressed for no reason over the past couple of months, and the worst part was, I knew it was getting worse but I had no idea how to fix it. I finally got up the courage to send an email to Kids Helpline and for a couple of days I didn't get a reply so I was so desperate for someone to talk to. I decided to phone. I was in such tears on the phone and the seriously awesome guy on the other end was really nice and calming.
He talked me through calming down and we ended up talking about random stuff like school and my homework and stuff and it make me feel so much better. Then when I kind of 'woke up' out of my depressive thoughts and saw the situation from a more logical perspective. I wasn't as bad as I thought I was, it was pretty much just feeling lonely and not wanted.
All these terrible suicidal thoughts and depressed ways of thinking made me feel like I needed pills or to be locked up in a cell somewhere, but the Kids Helpline people don't just help you with your problems, they make you feel really good about yourself too, which is sometimes even more beneficial than fixing your problems because it makes you feel like there's someone out there who really cares about you.
I only called Kids Helpline once and after the experience I had with them, now I'm finally not afraid to share my feelings with other people. Thank you Kids Helpline. =)
