I think that I have complicated grief and clinical depression please help?

dfgfsgdds man asked:


Hi, I’m 13 and I think that I have complicated grief and clinical depression. I think i got depression a few years ago from lacking a social life and everything just started seeming boring and life started seeming not worth living. But recently my grandmother passed away. And I think that’s how I got complicated grief. We were really close and she actually made me feel a little better. But now she died and i feel 1000 times worse now. And she wasn’t one of those old old 90 year old grandparent. She was only about 55. I read that talking to people usually helps. And I have talked about this to almost all my friends, and I don’t feel any better. Some of my friends actually are also clinically depressed, but they all have therapists or see guidance counselors often. Anyway, they all say to see a guidance counselor. But I feel really uncomfortable talking about this to adults. What should I do?

    Well if you are truly clinically depressed then you need to be seen by a doctor. Maybe you need to see a professional therapist. If your friends are depressed they should be seeing someone other than a guidance counselor.

    Ask your friends who they have talked to who has been helpful. Do the best that you can to approach that person. Eventually your pain will force you to talk to someone who can help you. The sooner the better. It’s probably not going to get better on it’s own.

    You need to talk to someone. Grief can be healed with time but depression compounded by grief? This can sometimes be too much for any person to deal with. Maybe you should ask a friend that sees a counselor and see if this would be a good fit foor you too. This way you can talk to someone that can help. You might be uncomfortable at first but it’ll pass. It’s important you release these feelings and feel better
    I wish you all the best.
