I learned that to help cope you have to try and live a However, if you do not feel comfortable with this you can also talk to a profession to be more discrete. Taking to someone about your problems can help you come up with practical solutions or steps to help get you healthy. For myself, I thought I had been depressed or close to after the loss of my grandpa and I found comfort in being with my loved ones. Sometimes I found it was talking to them about how I felt that helped or just being in their presence would benefit me.
Targeted Situation Major Depressive Disorder has claimed the lives of up to 15% of those suffering from the disorder through suicide (Belmaker & Agam, 2008). Different people are effected by depression in different ways. Some individuals, like Raquel, suffer from loss of interest, feelings of worthlessness, along with thoughts of suicide (Fave & Kendler, 2000). Others go on with their daily routine with a smile on their face, while hiding their emotions. Although most individuals will experience depressed mood or general loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed (Spaner, Bland, & Newman, 2007).
“High school is going to kill me” (Lubar 32) said Scott on his first day of school. In Sleeping Freshman Never Lie, Scott started high school, which was not the only big change. He starts off school trying to win Julia’s heart, doing every activity she does. It doesn't work out too well though. Without knowing them Scott usually judged people on their appearance or how they acted. He also realized that his mom is acting pretty weird, and come to find out she is pregnant. Since Scott is having such a hard time in school he decides to write a journal for his new sibling. His friend group starts to change dramatically. His three best friends he would always thought he would have go off and do other things. Scott changed the most in Sleeping Freshman Never Lie because he became less judgemental, and made new friends.
A Deadly Awakening There are many questions about whether Edna is a good person or whether her actions were moral or right, but there is no question that Edna Pontellier went through an awakening in the book The Awakening by Kate Chopin.

Though these make her more open and free they ultimately end up causing her demise.
Wesley Cobble had always been a bully, that is, until he became friends with Scott. Wesley had been known as a bully throughout high school. But that all changed when one morning, Wesley picked up Scott (the main character) and brought him to school, it was as if Wesley had a change in heart and wanted to be friends with Scott. Wesley wasn’t usually the type to make friends, but for some reason, he became friends with Scott, which changed him and benefited him. Wesley changed the most in Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie because he went from being a bully to Scott to being his friend, and he learned to stop stealing.
At first, the title seems to focus on Addie. Of the 59 sections, Addie only narrates one section, and it is filled with stories from the past. She was alive for a quarter of the novel and when she passed, the Bundrens began the journey to bury her as she wished; however, the farther away from home they got, the more it seems as if the family was dying as well. What seems to be rock-bottom from the beginning, quickly dives deeper into a worsened abyss. Addie physically dies, Darl goes insane, Dewey Dell’s innocence dies, Jewel loses both forms of a mother… Faulkner comes at the reader at every angle with a new death, both literally and figuratively.
Sleep “The worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to, then forcing oneself to stay awake for days on end must surely come a close second.”
I have taken the anti-depressant Paxil for seven years. This summer I began a gradual tapering off the anti-depressant medication. Each time that I have tried to quit taking paxil, I experience acute dizziness. Doctors call this Anti-Depressant Discontinuation Syndrome. I call it miserable. As I enter my sixth week
The depression is overwhelming. I cry uncontrollably. At its worst, I cannot move. Gravity seems to have added weight tenfold. I wake up in my bed, struggling to get out. I am unable to. Breathing hurts. I try to cry out for help, but I cannot move my mouth to form the words in my disgusted mind. I am trapped in my own head. I am trapped in my own body, a body that is entirely numb.
Defining Clinical Depression People of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life have felt depressed and unhappy at some time in their lives. These periods of sadness usually pass after a short time, but for some people, this feeling can remain for weeks, months, and even years. (1) This prolonged state of unhappiness is called major (or clinical) depression and is characterized by a persistent sad or "empty" mood, loss of interest in favorite activities, difficulty concentrating, and many other symptoms. It is not simply a mental state but an illness that interferes with the way people feel, function, and think.(2)
Is it sad that I hate my life is so much that I would wish for a life like the ones I read about? Well, if it is, who cares. I'm sure you feel like this some days? That you want to be somewhere else? Someone else, even?That you are
Everyone in life has been in front of this huge wall to where they had to climb over it, but sometimes that wall will come again, or they’re just afraid to climb that wall, or they keep falling and keep trying again. I went through something like that as well except I was scared of falling again and I just stopped to trying. It was a horrible feeling, where you feel like no one cares and you’re just by yourself. Alone. I was soon able to climb over the wall with some help. There were people that kept telling me that I can do it and encouraged me to climb that wall. Once I was over it, I felt free. I felt like I could do anything, and now I’m better than I was before. This obstacle is called Depression, and I have been through some other obstacles
It has been said that life can never be carried out and truly lived to its fullest unless there has been some sort of suffering and pain. Mistakes are to be learned from, and a hard past can only result in a stronger present. Though many might find themselves alone in their misery the truth is they are not, everyone has struggles. We all have our ups and downs, but it is how we react to them that truly matters. Life is life and no matter what, giving up on lifelong dreams and aspirations because of a few bumps in the road should never be an option.

Life is something that requires a considerable amount of physical and mental effort. Some are fortunate enough to have everything prepared for them. Such as some are born into money; some come across good fortune yet most work hard from the start to get some where in the world. It just all depends on how you were brought into this world. For some people, life is full of stress and hardships. That’s how life was for someone very dear to me. He had it difficult from the start. However he chose not to let life get him down. When life gave him lemons, he made lemonade.
