Ok, so I'm 15. I struggled with depression for 10 months before I found Buddhism. But, the past few days ive been feeling extremly down and my low self esteem is returning. Meditation isn't working so I'm sorta lost. Any advise how to make this stop before it gets out of hand again?

Meditation does not end depression. Meditation is like a hammer. Hammers do not hammer in nails. The carpenter does!

Get out of your room. Go out do something. I promise you will feel better.
Do something you like to do. Go to a place you never been before and do something you have never done before. With someone you like to spend time with. Go for coffe with a boy/girl (whatever your flavor) you want to get to know better.

You are young and the world is full of things you got to do before you die. You have not got the TIME to be depressed man/girl!

You feel depressed? Bugger that. You have time to feel depressed later when you are my age.

For now. Have fun. Be crazy. Low selfesteem? Forget it. Nobody has the right to put you down least of all you yourself! Use your elbows if need be to promote yourself!

Life is wasted on he young they say. Go out and waste it!


Hey ya dude/dudette. You need medication? Go to a doctor and see. Pronto! Then on your way backhome you can do some fun stuff.

Big hug
