Hello, my name is Martijn. I’m a 15 year old boy. I’ve had a depression before when I was about 12. It lasted about a year. Ive been in therapy and been taking medication since then. The following 3 years of my life have been great. But half a year ago, I started fealing anxious again. strange, violent toughts towards me and the people around me popped op in my head. I often felt empty, as in a dream but i couldn’t ‘wake up’. It felt like I didn’t use my medication anymore, wich I have to control my anxiety. Since then, I started feeling worse. I talked about it with a psychologist and it appears to be a normal to feel side effects, as, I’m in puberty and growing a lot lately. My medication has been changed from 20 mg to 30 mg. After 3 weeks, this didn’t appear to be the solution. It got worse and worse. I’m back on 20 mg since then. But that didn’t clear anything. the anxious feeling of hurting myself or someone near my got stronger. I did’t dare to go to school anymore, because I might get the urge to jump in front of a train or something like that. I didn’t dare to be in a high building because i might jump out of the window. This thoughts made me so depressed and upset that I wouldn’t even care anymore if I jumped out of a window or something like that. I’m trapped in my thoughts. Still I have no idea why I would ever do something like that. I have it all, a loving family, a nice girlfriend and great friends. all the things to have a happy life. But I do not. I have no Idea how it will get better, and if I ever feel happy again. At the moment, I can’t even wait for a train because i can’t stop thinking about jumping in front. I really want to get happy again. I really try to see the beautiful things in life but on moments like these, I just can’t see them. I hope somebody can help me. (I’m sorry for my bad English, I’m dutch)

Im sorry Martjin it really isnt that easy fek the train idea right now its not the way to go.I dont agree with drugs personally they never worked form me , what worked for me was outdoors , go a huge walk thro fields for atleast 2hours a day.Just take in the sights clear your mind and see how you feel after doing that for about 2 weeks.
@noselfrespect thank you very much for your comment. I’ll definitely follow your advice
Yes try it for sure you will feel your legs aches and your mind clear I hope the best
You have everything in life, but at the same time you feel like you have nothing. Absolute emptiness inside? Well, your not alone my friend. I feel the same way. I don’t care if i live, i don’t care if i have money, i don’t care if i have a place to stay. But i have everything, just like you – a loving family, beautiful girlfriend, honest friends, but it’s seems just so.. dull, pointless. I believe the only thing that can keep you together, keep all of us sane is…. anarchy.
Lol jk, just go hang out with you friends or your girlfriend in nature, near water, woods or something, you know, to let loose and relax. Nature will fix it up, probably
