My depression left after I got a concussion recently. I had been depressed for about a year, and just like that, one day it leaves. I'm worried it will come back, so I've been avoiding thinking about it too much, but the worry is growing. Does anyone know what I should do? I don't want to take medication, as I'm teenage, and I know anti-depressants can be bad for teenagers.
(Oh, and my concussion has healed. I'm still not depressed.)

I say just go on with life day by day and don't think or worry about it, the more you think of it the stronger chance it will return. Just see yourself as depression free and be happy about it. If it comes back, you can deal with it then, for now, just enjoy!

Thanks FyreFli! I'm trying to keep myself as distracted as possible, which sometimes ends up with me getting yelled at, but it's keeping depression at bay. This morning, though, I could really feel the depression again. I've managed to stop it from overwhelming me, and I've suppressed it so that it's tiny, but I think the worry is feeding it. (It sounds like I'm talking about some monster. I guess it's a good simile/metaphor. Whichever one it is.) I've got to listen to music almost non-stop to keep myself in a good mood. Which means I can't hear when my parents are talking to me or the phone is ringing. XP
