Sometimes we feel happy and excited, at other times, we'll feel sad and down. There are plenty of things that might make you worry. But people feel and react to different things in different ways. It's normal to feel stressed, anxious or lonely from time to time, or that no-one understands us. But for most people, these feelings come and go.For a small number of people, feeling down or depressed can go on for a long time so they can't get on with their everyday lives.
Here are some examples.....
*if someone close to you is ill, or dies
*worrying about how you look
*feeling guilty or responsible
*for someone else's behaviour
*worrying about your sexuality
*feeling left out and not being part of a group
*moving or leaving home
*feeling useless and worthless
*arguing with friends or family
*having a parent or carer who is depressed or worried about other things
*changes in your family or becoming part of a new family
*thinking things will never get better
*having trouble with your boyfriend or girlfriend, or even just a close friend
*worrying about exams or getting disappointing results
*being bullied at school or elsewhere
*if someone close to you moves away
*feeling you have no-one to talk to and that no-one understands you
*if you have been abused
How do I know if I'm feeling depressed?
*feeling life is not worth living
*worrying about things
*feeling lazy or bored and tired a lot
*not wanting to go out
*lying or making up stories
*crying a lot
*eating a lot more or a lot less than usual
*being moody or irritable or snappy
*having trouble sleeping or having bad dreams
*feeling like harming yourself
*stealing things or getting into trouble
*feeling no-one likes you or people are talking behind your back ...maybe you recognise some of these in yourself or in a friend
Ways to help a friend if they're unhappy or feeling depressed
*listen and try to be sympathetic
*don't expect them just to snap out of it
*don't criticise or tease them
*try and get them to talk about how they feel
*be patient and allow them time to talk
*try and help them look for help
Ways to help myself
*make a tape of your favourite music
*do some drawing or painting
*write things down in a diary
*write a poem or song
*listen to some music
These things may help you understand how you feel. There are lots of other things which might help you feel better, at least for some of the time. The important thing is to do something that you enjoy.
Here are just some ideas...
*watch something you enjoy on TV
*get outside in the fresh air
*try a sport like swimming or jogging or dancing - even just go for a walk
*eat regularly and as healthily as you can
Talking to someone might help you feel more able to cope. Try and talk to someone you like and trust. This might be a...
*friend
*parent or carer
*brother or sister
*aunt or uncle
*grandparent
*friend's parent
Other people you could talk to could be a...
*teacher
*school nurse
*school counsellor
*youth worker
*social worker
They may be able to come with you to talk to someone else or may be able to phone someone for advice if you don't want to do it yourself. They may be able to help and reassure you that they sometimes feel the same way.
To my friends, writing a blog can help reduce depression too. Am I right?

Stres adalah respon tubuh seseorang dalam menghadapi pelbagai tuntutan dalam kehidupan. Tuntutan-tuntutan tersebut mungkin merupa-kan perkara-perkara yang datang dari luar (misalnya: surat pinjaman bank yang tertunggak, teman, pekerjaan, atau hubungan dengan pasa-ngan), atau mungkin juga datang dari fikiran sendiri (misalnya: bagaimana penilaian terhadap diri sendiri).
Stres seringkali dicap sebagai sesuatu perkara yang buruk. Namun sesungguhnya se-tiap orang memerlukan sedikit tekanan agar mereka memiliki hidup yang lebih baik
Teknik atasi stress yang sihat, antara lain:
1. Tidur Sejenak
Tidur sejenak selama 30 - 45 minit akan menyegarkan tubuh kembali. Orang-orang ternama yang memanfaatkan tidur siang untuk menangani stres adalah John F. Kennedy, Thomas Edison dan Salvador Dali.
2. Pengurutan
Anda boleh mengunjungi seorang pakar urut profesional ataupun meminta pasangan atau seorang sahabat untuk mengurut otot-otot leher dan bahu anda.
3. Mengekspresikan diri secara artistik
Jadilah orang yang kreatif dan alihkan energi anda secara positif. Anda boleh cuba untuk belajar akting, atau memainkan alat muzik, mengambil gambar, melukis, menulis puisi ataupun menyanyi. Muzik adalah media pereda stres yang sangat baik. Memainkan alat muzik atau cuma sekadar mendengar muzik sangat membantu untuk melegakan stres.
4. Kerap ketawa
Cara ini bukan rahsia lagi. Tertawa boleh menyebabkan stres yang ada hadapi menjadi lebih ringan. Sentiasa tunjukkan ekspresi yang menyenangkan diwajah anda.
5. Bersikap lembut terhadap diri sendiri
Sama ada disedari atau tidak, sebenarnya kita secara terus-menerus berbicara kepada diri kita sendiri. Berbicara kepada diri sendiri menunjukkan perilaku dan citra diri. Anda boleh mengubah kedua-dua perkara tersebut melalui pembicaraan yang positif kepada diri anda sendiri. Malahan pembicaraan tersebut boleh menyebabkan perubahan terhadap proses kimiawi tubuh yang menguntungkan, dengan cara mengaktifkan sistem saraf yang menimbulkan relaksasi. Sebaliknya, pembicaraan yang negatif kepada diri sendiri akan menyebabkan rangsangan terhadap sistem saraf simpatik dan menyebabkan tubuh berasa kelelahan.
