Hey I don't know what to do, I just got out of the hospital because of drepression and suicidal thoughts, I did rehab and everything and well I am not thinking in killing myself anymore but when I got home I started to feel lonlely and sad again, my mom makes me feel like that and I'm taking antidepressives and they are helping me but I am not sure if this is a healthy enviroment to live in anymore, I want to go college and I need to graduate high school so I can't move out yet. I don't have enough money and I am not sure if working after school everyday with an underpay job will be enough to live on my own and I'm not sure if moving in with my boyfriend is a good idea either,he is a great guy but I think is too soon so What should I do?

Moving out changes everything. It really makes you have to take responsibility for yourself and makes you grow up a lot faster.

Also, if you do move out it will probably do unchangable damage to you and your parent's relationship.

You also said you weren't sure about living with you boyfriend, that probably means its not a good idea, you need to be sure about that before you do it.

I suggest that if you really do need to move out, look into getting a job, or alteast have employment when you do and have a plan, don't just do it randomly.

I also agree with Shade, if you're depressed one of the best things you can do for yourself is to get active, find something you enjoy that will get you out there spending some energy. I personally love soccer but you should try all sorts of things

The meds aren't working? Maybe instead of moving out, you can find enjoyable activities to engage yourself in, peaceful, or energetic, just not lethargic or angry, make them out of the house. If you live near a lake or resevoir, go boating. If you live near mountains go hiking. If you live near a skating rink, skate some. Something to get your brain concentrating on something else rather than the depressing household.

What kind of neighbourhood is it in? If you move with them, how much of rent are they expecting you to pay? With a minimum wage job, full time, it's not that hard if you have a few roomates.

Why is your current situation unhealthy, if you don't mind the asking?

Also, if you move out, you will have to pay for your medication and hospitalization, unless you are still covered under your folks insurance. Worth a look.

Well the problem is that when I am around my family they make me feel worthless, and my family is really disfuctional,my stepfather is always yelling at me, you know sometimes if feels like my mom hates me, I dunno and after I got out the hospital I just want to get better and I don't really want to be depress anymore and if my mom is the part of the reasons I am getting depress well maybe I thought that I should move out, I don't want to be in antidepressins all my life or do anything stupid, so I don't know what to do

Alright, I moved out when I was 18 because of my parents and moved in with my boyfriend and his family. It worked out for me, I got a job and helped out around the house. However, you need to really think this through, it is a serious decision, one that can change everything.
