I have random depression breakdowns?

I have always been a child that does not stray far from what he is comfortable. Lately though, with the help of osme friends, I have become a more social and less depressed person (still pretty depressed at times). I feel happy a lot of the time, have a good day, all that stuff but every 2-4 weeks, I have this one night where I think of all the shitty things about me and my life and how shit it all is. It usually ends that night. Lately though, it has lasted longer. I had one time where I though about my life and stuff, and I just could not handle it, and for a week or so, I was super depressed and was having issues with everything. I would love some help on this issue

    I don't know how to help you accept to say that you need to just hang on. I was the girl in high school that every one thought had a perfect life and was always happy and perky but about half way through high school things took a really bad turn and I use to think hmmm why should I not kill myself today? I use to think about it if I was walking next to a street I could just run into traffic I would think about all the pills available at home and then wash it down with some of my parents liquor not like I'm going to get in trouble if I'm dead right? On and on everyday. Some times I would think of people I knew that would be hurt by it some times I realized I was just wanting to hurt my parents and punish them but that me being dead I'd never get to see it and I also decided I wasn't going to be a person that sought to bring more pain into the world.

    Alot has changed for me since then I have a better life I think its better anyway I have met some really wonderful people that I think of more as my family than my real family if I would have killed myself I would never have met these people and they would never have met me and I think we are both better for it. One of my friends he says Em do whatever you want to do but do it with intention meaning don't just blow along with the wind but be who you are on purpose and I liked that and I try to do that. Of course some days are harder than others thats always going to happen but you will never know the good from the bad if you never have a bad one. I hope this helps a little bit but if not then just ignore it and try to find peace in your life.

    Depression is unavoidable when you live on Earth, and inevitable for anyone with an intelligent mind. Unfortunately, there is no treatment for depression, except for taking prescription drugs which can be addictive.

      Right on cue you spew pseudo intellectual nonsense without knowing what you're talking about.

        I'm very aware if what I'm talking about, child.

    Random bouts of depression are perfectly normal, except if you think of harming yourself. But the general rule of thum is that 2 weeks of feeling low is clinically depressed and needs treatment. Seek out someone you can talk to or ask your doctor for a referral to a therapist. Best wishes for you.

    Bouts with depression are common and you should seek help from a psychiatrist or psychologist!
