What Are The Possible Treatments For Depression And Anxiety ?
hi, my names amber 16 almost 17 in a week, I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I have been hearing noises in my head for the past 2 months but I know that its just me being paranoid and I don't know how to stop it or to control it. its very hard for me to explain I know I might sound crazy or weird but when someone coughs or sneezes or is itchy and they scratch to me it feels like there is a message behind it and I am not sure what its suppose to mean. If I am talking to someone I will look them dead in the eye because I think that whatever they are saying or talking about it feels like its towards me. I suffer from anxiety attacks I am scared to leave my room or go out in public it just feels like everyone that walks past me and are laughing it feels like they are laughing at me. i get very angry i don't want to admit it but i have to i admit that i have a temper problem if someone says something to me that i don't like i will get all worked up and start swearing and going off my head at them and i have tried to explain to them what it is like for me but they just think im being silly and don't take me seriously. i have been prescribed lovan but i feel i need stronger tablets they don't do anything for me and my depression and anxiety are worse. please help i feel like i should be in a mental hospital i feel like i want to be isolated from everyone i don't want anyone near me i have shut everyone out from my life i am scared to be that normal teenage girl to go out and have fun i have a lot of friends that ask me to go out and party with them but i don't want to leave my room. i really feel like i should be in a hospital with other people that suffer from all this because being here in my home just makes it all worse. if i go for a walk by myself the first thing i think off is what would be a good way to die that's all that runs through my head. especially when im walking on a bridge i will always stop to see how far down it is and that if i get worse im going to jump of it. i don't want these thoughts in my head anymore. please help

Hi Amber. This is one most beautiful name, if you search the meaning on web. Anyway, I can understand the problems you are going through at the age you mentioned . This is just an escalated form of normal age related problem. Lovan is a good medicine but it is you who decides whether you rally need them. Or to go for alternative sure. At you age you must have developed at least a single hobby, get involved into it and discuss this with your parents or the best friend ( they are always a very few). Studies - yes. Try to get involved into meditation. Help people around you. See their plight for you to know how beautiful your own world is. Come back to us within a few days or weeks to know how much this has helped you. I am sure you will not need any medicines too.
