Anxiety and Depression, Feel Like Im Worthless?

Question by Kimmy: anxiety and depression, feel like im worthless?
i know its kind of long but please read all before answering…so i’m 15 in a lot of ways i’m mature but in other ways i feel like i still act like a little kid. i’m not constantly texting,i have no interest in drinking, smoking, partying, etc. but what i’m most concerned about is how close i am with my mom (i’m the youngest of my four other sisters also) and she’s i guess a hellicopter mom and kind of babies me in some ways.. for lack of a better word i guess. i like doing things with her, i’ll lay down by her sometime, and we hug a lot and just a lot of stuff like that, i mean we have mature conversations and i can spend a couple of days with out her and be just fine so i really DONT see a problem with it. but is it alright? i mean i’m fine with her going out with out me and such… also i’ve been feeling like i’m old lately and like once i hit 17 i cant do any of that stuff… so is 15 AND 16, 17 young? if so how old do you stop being young ( not really looking for an “age is a state of mind” answers

also part of the reason we’ve been so close is that i have sever anxiety and depression and when i have a bad i can just lay down by her and lean on her. i recently had a breakdown i guess and just feel horrible and dont know if i can take this feeling and the thought of being old, and i just ant stop picking apart my self and trying to think of everything thats wrong with me, and just wish i wasnt born. i just hate this feeling of not wanting to grow up, getting old, feeling like i shouldnt be as close to my mom for age and i just dont know how long i take it. and i know it sounds horrible but sometime i end up thinking i wish i was mentally challenged so i didnt have to deal with growing up, and i didnt have to know how horrible the world is.

i guess i just want to be who i want to be and not feel horrible about ( or go back in time but i dont thinks thats and option lol) or just be a normal kid, or knew other people who we’re close to their parents like i am.

It’s nice to see someone having a strong connection to their parents. If your feeling depressed & worried how about opening up about how you feel? She’s your mother and you can tell her anything! Growing up can be very hard and confusing. Your parents went through growing up too. Your mom can help you. I have a feeling she really cares about you! Try not to pick out the negative things about yourself. Find support from someone to help you!

I know exactly what you are going through and how that feels because I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in high school by doctors. I was put on meds to “help” me deal with the depression. It only got worse because the meds numbed me from the world. Eventually my body rejected the medication causing me to go into a nervous breakdown. I didn’t eat or sleep for over a week. I hit rock bottom. I never gave up through all the pain, but went on a mission to find the answers to the questions you are now asking. Today I no longer have depression.

The words I use right now are to be taken very seriously, so read them with an open heart and mind. ONLY continue to read this if you are serious and ready to make a change in your life! I have helped dozens of people eliminate depression completely from their lives, with absolutely NO drugs. Here is what I have discovered, from years of research and real life application, that will help you:

I will start by telling you what depression is not and the misconceptions about it. Know that you are not broken and NOTHING is wrong with you, no matter what the so called “experts” or others tell you!!! You MUST understand that now and know it to be true even though it may not seem like it, yet. Remove from your vocabulary and mind that you are depressed or a depressed person. Our society has become obsessed with labeling people and putting them into boxes. Show me depression, can you hold it in your hands? No, because it’s not a real thing, therefore you can change it whenever you decide to now. Depression is merely a state of mind, just like anger, sadness, happiness, joy, love, etc. EVERYONE experiences it least once in their life. You have gotten really good at mastering the art of Focus. I know this because you can focus on all the crap that is happening around you and in your life.

Just like you can focus on the crap, you can make a conscious decision to STOP and focus on all the amazing things in the world and your life, right now.

1) Make a list of all the people who you love and who loves you, even though you may not feel it, yet.
2)Think of a time in your life where you felt loved or had love towards something or someone. Associate yourself to that moment, right now, and step into the memory. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel? How were you breathing? Breath that way now. Good… Now think of another time in your life and repeat the process. Do this at least twice everyday!
3)Get the book Unlimited Power or the program Get the Edge by Tony Robbins. These will change your life forever.

Here are some things you will want to eliminate from your life today! If you watch the news, STOP IT, because the news is all about ratings and they sell people negative crap. Cut out watching horror films or scary movies and replace them with positive, uplifting ones. Do not listen to rap or any music with a negative, depressing message and replace it with music that moves your soul.

I can go on and on, but I think you are beginning to get the picture. This is just the tip of the iceberg. If what I am saying resonates with you and makes sense, let me know and I will continue. Or if it’s not for you at this time, that is fine with me too. I have nothing to sell or gain. Everything I say is out of love and the need to share the truth.
