I am depressed? Help?

[299]

So im 15 and wanna be a therapist. So i found instagram accounts that belong to depressed teens and talk to them. Its making me deppressed that these kids wanna kill them selves and cut so much. Is this normal for me to feel this way? Also why do people want to die from simple insecurities with looks? Advise and tips?

You can consult a Psychiatrist and there are many anti-depression available in market but I won't recommend that any because of their side effects.
What I can recommend its Withania somnifera, known commonly as Ashwagandha. its actually herbal Ayurveda medicine and does not have any side-effects instead it has many side benefits.
I've started with Clonazepam .25mg tablets but I stopped it because of its side effects and continued with Ashwagandha

If you're getting depressed when you talk to other depressed people, then can I offer a suggestion?

Stop talking to depressed people. It's honestly that simple, and it probably means you aren't cut out to be a therapist.

Being a therapist is a WHOLE lot harder than it seems. That's the field I wanted to go into as well, but like you, I let everything get to me. To be a therapist, you see, hear and feel a lot of different emotions coming from a whole lot of different people and it's extremely difficult. You have to be a very strong person.
And honestly, being unhappy is so overrated. I thought I was ugly and I was insecure but after highschool you don't have meaningless people constantly tearing you down. It really does get better. Make sure these people know that. And never just go to anti depressants. Not everyone needs to jump straight to pills. You have to make your own happiness.

It's not a bad thing at all that you're so emotionally invested in the things you see. But it's probably a sign that therapy may not be a field you should go into. I had a best friend who tried to kill himself a couple years ago. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through because I couldn't at all figure out why he wanted to do such a thing. His life seemed so great. But what you and I fail to realize is that depression is a mental disorder. The brain is a very very powerful thing and once you let your negative thoughts take over it's hard to think clearly. People who want to kill themselves are very sick people and it take a strong minded individual to pull them from that. No offense but If you're feeling depressed just from reading about them, you probably wouldn't be much help with fixing them. But what you could do is be a support system for people around you. Make happiness your mission. Focus every day on making everyone you come in contact with happy. You will feel so good about yourself after doing so and you will help people without even realizing it. Stop looking at those depressed teens online. A great deal of them are just being dramatic but most importantly there's not a lot you can do for them. What you can do is be a ray of sunshine for all the people you come in contact with. You may not realize who's hurting and who's not which is why you should treat everyone the best way possible. Spread smiles and love and help people when you can. You can google sadness and find sadness every time. Stop setting yourself up. Stop looking for unhappy people and focus on the bodies you see around you. Just be positive and love life. Others will follow
