Answer 1

please just talk to your parents and a doctor and tell them your serious!!

Answer 2

i'm very sad you've had to come here for help but there is no self treatment for depression. I am 20 years old and i have watched my best friend develop and is now treating her depression. It can also NOT be treated by holidays or anything like that.

You need to go to a doctor about this, there are many causes and reasons for depression and you must get professional help so you can start what ever treatment is best for you.

My best friends depression is cause by a chemical imbalance in her brain that was triggered by puberty. She has to take medication every day to make her 'normal' enough to function in life.

Keep talking to your parents, tell them how you feel in a calmer manner not when your mad at them. If you have a counselor or something at school you can go and talk to you should go and talk to them. Possibly keep a journal of all your feelings and thoughts and show it to them after a few months to show them it's no joke. If you are really honest in your feelings when talking to these people then you should get the right help.

Answer 3

oh sweetie, I am sorry you are feeling so bad. I think you should ask your mom to take you to the doctor and let her know it is serious. Also, you could see the school nurse or school counselor. There are also hotlines you can call. Please don't let this get any worse.

My heart goes out to you. You can feel better, but you need to get someone to help you out a bit.  

Answer 4

someone i knew had depression, and to be honest the best thing to do is talk to someone.

if you dont feel like telling your parents ask for a doctor appointment and talk to him.

suidal thoughts are very serious and you want to have a happy childhood.

please please tell someone.

it will only get worse.

Answer 5

I am so very sorry to read that you feel this way. You are not insane, please try not to feel that way. At your age your hormones are trying to find their place. This can  very difficult on you. You sound as if you want to reach out to someone but you are scared. Please find a friend, aunt, uncle or even a teacher at your school to talk to. Keeping all this bottled in will only cause you more pain. Do not be afraid to find someone you trust, you need desperately to get some help with this. If your mother has a history of depression this can be passed on to you. Trust me I know this to be a fact. My father has clinical depression and he has passed this on to me. This is not your moms or my fathers fault. Depression is a disease the same as cancer. You can not self treat this and trying to avoid the issue will not make it go away, again I know from experence. Talk to someone and get some help with this. You deserve to have your life back! I pray that I have helped you. Turn those tears of sadness in tears of joy and play all the things that you use to enjoy so much.

Answer 6

My heart really goes out to you.

I'm sorry for the death of your grandfather. An event like that could certainly trigger depression.

I don't think you can treat this at home. I'm really concerned that you've had suicidal thoughts, and you need someone to help you work through this.

It's really too bad that you don't seem to have any family support. If you don't have any adults in your family who can help (aunts or uncles that you trust), you could talk to a teacher or guidance councillor at school. You need some help connecting with a doctor or mental health professional who can talk with you.

They will know if you are just feeling really sad and can work through it or if you need therapy or perhaps medication.

No matter how dark things look, I know that you can get through this. I've experience depression and panic attacks, and I know how hopeless things can be, but if you can get help from someone you trust, be assured that you won't always feel like this.

I hope only the best for you.

(Added after I saw your last comment)

You are not insane. Even if it feels like the world is crumbling around you. No responsible adult will think less of you for having feelings like these, anymore than they would tell a person in a wheelchair to stop being such a baby and get up and walk. There are very good reasons for why you are feeling the way you are, and you are not to blame for it. Don't be ashamed or afraid. Just work on getting yourself some help.

Answer 7

no there is no way

the doctor your doctor should be notified imediatley

it is not normal to think about sucide please take drastic measures now and talk to your doctor they are there to help you and they do care, a death can cause depression yes but there is most likely something else acting in the way.  

Answer 8

talk to your docter next time u see him tell them that your serios

get your parents attention to believe u then maybe u could talk to a therepist find something that u enjoy that could make your life happier

Answer 9

First of all-DO NOT commit suicide. It is NOT the answer. You will just end up hurting those who love you. These feelings are often the result of growing out of childhood and into adulthood. You start becoming more resonsible and that leads to stress and sometimes depression. This is the reason why so many teenagers end up commiting suicide.  You can try seeking out help from your parents or a counselor if needed. I usually end up talking to my mom or my sister when I feel depressed and that helps a lot. They really do care about you. They might just be too busy to notice at the moment. In this case just take your mom or dad aside and look them and the eye and tell them straight out. If they don't belive you, tell them you are serious and need help. When they realize how serious you are, they will listen to you. If not, try talking to a trustworthy friend or a counselor at school. They are there to help you at times like these and will listen to you. This obviously will take a lot of courage, but it will be worth it. I used to go through what you are going though when I was around your age. I am 15 now, and have had 2 friends commit sucide over problems like this. I am telling you-it is not worth it. One more thing. If you can't get up enough courage to talk to someone, try talking to Heavenly Father. I know it sounds religious and all, but he really is there. You are his child and he cares about you. You don't have to know how to pray. Just in your mind or aloud whatever way you wish, talk to him. He loves you and will listen to you. The answer may not come right away, but be patient and you will find a way out of it. You have your whole life ahead of you. Hang on and keep going. You will find a solution.
