I'm 13 and think I'm depressed...Help!

Question

I'm 13 and I have been crying a LOT lately and always feel like my mum and dad don't love me as much as my brother and sisters and that they don't understand me. PLEASE don't say 'talk to your parents' or 'make an appointment with your doctor or counceller' because I will just feel totally stupid because there's no real reason for me to be depressed.

Answer 1

i went thur the same thing as a teen, its just a phase  

Answer 2

Honey, i really wish i could help you! I feel exactly the same way (deressed but dont want to talk to anyone because i feel stupid.)

I found it can help to talk someone online (like an online counsiler; that way they never know who you are.)

If you want to talk to anyone, please feel free to email me!

Answer 3

Maybe you could journal your feeling out, and that would help you to see what you already know that you don't have a real reason to be depressed. Getting out into the sun will help naturally with this and getting regular exercise-so walking while it is sunny is a good idea.  If you do all that you know what to do and are still depressed-you may still need help. Sometimes depression come from chemical imbalances that we can not help-it is from our make up and not our situation. You are also probably going through puberty, and all those hormones rageing is not easy-but all that can and will pass. But, please get help-do not suffer in silence-especially do not leave your loved ones in the dark concerning this-maybe mum has been through this and can help you out.

Answer 4

Hormones, my friend. It's the hormones...

Answer 5

Hey :)

Considering you're thirteen, you're coming up to a stage in your life when you're going to feel like the whole world is against you because, thanks to hormones, when you first become a teenager you become very self concious of yourself and others around you. You're parents wouldn't not love you as much as you're other brothers or sisters so don't ever think that. You're probably crying a lot because you're letting this play on your mind a lot which is a good and bad thing. It's good because all humans express emotions like this and it's bad because you shouldn't cry or be sad all the time. The best way to overcome sadness is by talking to someone so don't feel scared or embarassed to talk about it with someone and in this case, believe it or not, the best people to talk to would be your parents.

Hope this helps?

Keep Smiling life can only get better :)

Answer 8

That might not actually even be depression. It's not really what anyone wants to hear, but part of that may just be puberty. Most teenagers at one point or another get the feeling that no one understands them, gets a little angsty, feels so out of place. It happens to anyone. It's all the hormones, which can cause the crying. If it were depression it would be different.

If there's something in particular your parents do that you hate that makes you feel misunderstood. Next time they do it, just say, "I hate it when you do that." If they ask why, then you can tell them why, or you can say "just because." It's all wheter you're one of those 13 year olds that is willing to talk to their parents, or would rather not. I never used to want to talk to mine.  

There's not much else you can do, it's not so much depression as a conflict in your life that's probably making you feel that way. When the problem between you and your family goes away, the crying might as well.

Answer 9

I am a mom and I can almost guarantee you that your parents don't care more for the other kids than they do for you. We love all our children equally, perhaps in different ways, but for sure the same amount. Hormones go crazy at your age and make you feel all kinds of things. You will be surprised at what a difference even one day can make. Things will get better soon. And really don't feel bad about going to a doctor. That's what they are there for. I got some relief in my teen years from getting some medication. And it could work for you too.  

Answer 10

Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get worry easily

Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.

Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg"

Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time

Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.

Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.

Good Luck.
