Answer 1

i know how u feel. im 13 and ive gone through worse. my dad used to beat me up. my parents got divorced, and to this day, my mom always criticizes me. i cut myself and i attempted suicide. AT THIRTEEN. i used to be bullied, and im depressed. i miss my old friends, even though i have new ones. i feel like my mom doesnt want me. even though, since in new to this school, everyone surrounds me, and is nice to me, i feel different and alone. i hate my friends too, cause they dont understand why im so quiet, and why im so gloomy all the time. ive cried countless tears, and i have countless scars on my arm and heart.i dread waking up in the morning, cause it means i have to live another miserable day over again. i used to be happy and free as a bird, and now i feel sad, and trapped inside this jail cell called life. i know exactly how you feel. your depressed, girl. u have to talk to somebody before you do something stupid. you have to keep thinking positive, even though i know its hard. you need to be strong. if you dont,  you'll start feeling like your going to go crazy, and well, do something stupid. it feels hopeless, and you want your old life back, you hate everyone around you, cause u feel like they dont understand. i had no one to talk to, so im stuck this way forever. i never want anyone to feel my pain. its so horrible, no one deserves to be like this. i know i dont know you, but i feel your pain. all i can say is talk to someone you trust. someone that will listen to you. thats all i can say, but i just wanted you to know that there are people out there that went through what your going through, and we have your back. never lose hope, cause its just there in front of you.  

Answer 2

That question can only be answered by a professional.  Ask your mom to take you to a doctor or trained professional.  You have the symptoms of depression, but it could be more.  Depression is sometimes a symptom of something else that is going on.  Your mother would probably love to help you with this. Please don't try to handle it by yourself.

Sweety I felt like that when I was your age. I'm 23 now and I'm doing better. But I feel like I wasted many years of my life feeling so horrible and miserable. Please, get help now so you don't make the same mistake.

Answer 5

well how long have you been feeling like this if it is two weeks or more then you are likely to be suffering from depression but what you should do is if it has been two weeks or longer go and see your doctor he/she can help you. you are not alone :). i believe my friend is suffering from depression right now as well but she is scared to tell her parents. i hope this information helps :) don't let it get to the point where it becomes unbearable

Answer 6

It's clinical depression. What you have just described is my life in a nutshell. Normally theres an event in your life that triggers the depression but it can appear in a person for seemingly no reason at all. In my case, it was losing my three friends, father, and grandmother in the space of three months, and you mention that you have experienced major grief, the way you feel is probably a result of this. Under pressure from what family I have left, I made an appointment for help. They can give you a prescription to relieve these symptoms, but in my experience they also want you in therapy, so if you are like me and not comfortable with that, then seeing a doctor will likely not help. I wish I could say something to help you or at least give a word of hope, but seeing as I am in the same boat as you any attempt to do so would be false of me. But if you need to talk to someone you can email me if you like. I'm not promising that I can do anything but commiserate, but sometimes that helps.
