Life sucks

---

Where abouts do you live? There are several youth health clinics where they could help you. I know of a few around the country so if you're in a major city I could probably help you (they are free).

im in Auckland

I don't know if they have any drop-in clinics, but check out [http://www.headspace.org.nz][0]. That should give you the info you need to find one of the clinics. It also has some info about depression and bi-bolar disorder etc.
\*edit\* make sure you check out the survival kit

cheers, had a look but i dont think it was anything i didnt already know and anyway, it says u must get a referal for ur GP to go 2 1 of those meantal health plases anyway....i really dont like my GP

shit

i really am increadibly sick of the unstable moods and now that im awear of it i notice it alot more and i dont really think its normal...but then again maybe it is and im just over reacting :scream_cat:

i dont no. ill have a chat 2 1 of my mate that is the least likely to judge me and tell me im being a drama queen and c what she thinks. i increadibly feed up and i cant really tollerate this bullshit anymore.

If you're unhappy then you should find a way to BE happy...and I know it's not as simple as all that, but that's why I mentioned seeing a professional. And what I meant by private or socialized medicine was that in countries with socialized medicine, the gov't will provide to any of its citizens medical care with a minimum of hassle...meaning you wouldn't have to run up huge medical bills, as a citizen you're entitled to treatment without insurance.Seriously, don't leave it to one of your friends to make a diagnosis....they have people trained to do that.Best of everything!

yer, id like 2 b happy. this seems 2 hard, im used 2 dealing with everything by myself. sum of the stuff ive been reading kinda freaks me out.
i presume that weve got socalise medicine here but i cant b sure really. i know that most medications r highly subsidised by the govt. so theyre alot cheaper but ive neva had 2 go 2 hospital so i donno...

i dont want ppl to think im making this up...i think i may go c sum1 about it but ive got way 2 much going on right now, im 2 busy. tho this would b a good time 4 it as my mums away 4 the weekend and its not sumthing id wanna worry her with...

i donno anymore :scream_cat:

ive got way 2 much going on right now, im 2 busyWhat's more important than your health? You wouldn't say that (I hope) if your are were broken.Since New Zealand is an indstrialized democracy that's not the U.S. (or South Africa), it has a national health care system. I'm not sure how that applies to doctor's office visits, though. Someone around you must know.

um...actually when i fractured my wrist when i was younger i didnt go to the doctor for about 4 or 5 days.lol, i wasnt sure if it was badly hurt or not.lolwhats more important? ive got 2 assignments 2 do ...that im currently avoiding. dam, i shoud get onto thatim not 2 sure how 2 tell..or why its relevant about the health care system or what the actual question there is....

im not 2 sure how 2 tell..or why its relevant about the health care system or what the actual question there is....The issue is, do you have to come up with a pile of money to see a physician or psychologist, or not? And in any case, are there social services available?> ive got 2 assignments 2 doHanging around on message boards won't get them done.If/when you feel depressed, you need to deal with it. You don't deserve the pain involved.

to c my doctor its not very expensive but to c a phcologist i think it costs a shit load. i donno. i wouldnt want me parent to pay 4 it, i already feel like a pain in the ass 4 themno, i wont get them done but im really not in the mood right now 2 do assignments, i could try 2 do them but it wouldnt get me anywhere. ill try and start this afternoonwell when im depresed i tend to feel like i do deserve it

If I were saying what you've said, and you read my posts, how would you reply to me?

well the general gist would b 2 get off ur lazt ass, stop being a git and go to the doctor cuz ur dealing with shit u dont have 2...i gues im better at giveing advice then reciveing it.ok ok, i no wot ur saying, i get ur point and all that but unless ur volinteering to come 2 nz and drag me outa bed 2 the doctors, u dont have alota control over the situation i guess. thanx anyway. i pondered asking my sister to take me to the doctor but she would question me till i stressed out and hyperventilated 1st...i donno, im not in the mood 2 put any effort into this right now, i choose to just lye her 4 abit

well i finally talked 2 my friend who i thort would b supportave and has a histery of mental illness and she basically told me its bull shit and im not bipolar and to stop being a dick, its just depression etc. she didnt really listen to my reasoning she just said im wrong and websights overly simplify symtoms.fuck this, im not going to my doctor, shell just tell me the same thing

We're not doctors, but neither is she. Whether she's right or wrong, no matter what it is, there is definitely something wrong. If your friend thinks she can tell you how you feel, she is very wrong. Don't listen to her. Find a way to get some help.Seriously, what an insensitive moron she is.

Dear sweet Jesus....why would you listen to someone who knows no more about what may be wrong with you than you do? C'mon Cute, you're smarter than that! As for coming to NZ and dragging your ass outta bed...I seriously wish I could....by the hair! Dammit, girl! take some responsibility for feeling better! If you want to, you're going to have to REALLY want to! And stop listening to your friend....unless she magically attains a doctorate in psychology in the next ten minutes!You know what needs done, now DO IT!!!Best!

We do have a national health care system. But not everything is free. Doctor visits are free to some, but can cost a fair bit for others. Specialists are also quite expensive.

yes, i thort it was abit mean of her 2 so im not really talking 2 her 4 the time being..wich is pathetic cuz i never scrap with my friends.well alot of the time i dont have the motivation 2 WANT to get better, falling asleep and not wakeing up or staying in bed 4ever seem like much easyer options.hmm, well u find a way 2 drag me outa bed by the hair and ill c a doctor. and yea, shes another 6years away from her doctorate in psychology...maybe ill wait till then to take her advice.i donno, i feel like im just being a dick here, i might leave it 4 now. tho i may have 2 go to the doctor anyway 2 get a note 4 being off school so long...i MIGHT talk 2 her bout it then if my mums not there.anyway, dont worry bout me, ill deal with it i guess. its all abit 2 confuseing.

Good luck to you hunn

Well, whatever doc you see next you should inform you're having trouble dealing with things and think you might like to talk to a professional in that field. That alone should get you a referral and limit any cost that may be incurred.I've already warned you about not putting any faith in my diagnosis because I don't know what the hell I'M talking about so don't go finding anyone else who doesn't either. Hmmm...I'm not sure that made perfect sense, but I hope you get the gist of it.At any rate, tell someone who can help you and that's the first step toward helping yourself. After that, the steps should get easier.Again, all the best!
