Answer 1

First you should tell someone and especially your Mom. Maybe you should see a professional and explain how you feel.  You can get help.

You do realize you are a very special person and you were put here for a reason and purpose. If prescription medication is what you need then by all means get some. See a Doctor and get help!

If you can, read and learn how to help yourself, There are things and habits you can learn that will help your feelings. If you read, or enjoy learning even simple but important things, you should get this personalized book I got for myself. It is great and builds you up and shows you how important and special you are to this world.

It is written with YOUR name throughout the book and on the cover.

Many celebrities you would recognize have gotten this book for themselves.  Shows you that everyone needs help in their lives.

You would love this book that's just for you alone !  It has changed my own world for sure.  You can get one at the site in the source line, if you want.  I highly recommend it for anyone, young or old, no matter. It will give you hope and focus !  Get one and see.  A small but great investment....I keep mine with me at all times....

Be blessed and get help.  don't live like that.  You can help your own self.  It's not a hard thing to do, I promise !

Answer 2

I kept my depression secret from my family because I didn't want my mom to worry about me. She already had enough medical problems at the time.

You need to see a doctor because suicidal thoughts aren't as beautiful as they try to be.

I only let my family know about how I was feeling after my mom died last year.

I'm a master of disguise because I was smiling on the outside and crying for death to get me on the inside.

Answer 3

I have had the same problem. I got to the point where I had a nervous breakdown, and I had those same thoughts. I just turned to God, and said "if it is your will, let it be done", meaning that he was putting me through those problems to make me stonger. I sat in my room and thought about all of my goals and dreams. I also had a cousin to talk to, she also helped me cope with my problem.

Answer 4

I don't know what type of relationship you have with your mom but, believe me when I say it is very important to talk to someone about your thoughts. Try your mom, if she won't listen try a friend or someone you trust. It is actually quite normal for people to feel depressed, bummed out, have bad thoughts...even twisted/disturbed thoughts. What really matters is how you perceive these thoughts. In other words, do your thoughts make you afraid? do you scare yourself? What type of thoughts are they? It's time to play doctor with yourself. When you are having thoughts, try and analyze what it is your thinking about. You have to remain objective, be an observer and just note the thoughts as you have them. Some parts of are psyche are really strange (hello our dreams!) Take them with a grain of salt, it's just your imagination or it's okay to feel angry/sad/depressed. Tell yourself positive things, remind yourself of who you truly are and what you truly value. Try starting a journal...this has been very therapeutic for me. Don't hold back, just write and write and write...if it gets worse, there is nothing wrong with speaking to a psychologist. Also reading self-help books/internet sites can be helpful. look at http://www.soulfulliving.com. Remember the key to your problem is inside of you, you already posses it, you just have to find it and use it. Good Luck and God Bless

Answer 6

Why are you still here?

Answer 7

you don't necessarily have to tell HER but i would go to your doctor and he can perscribe you something.

with your mum, you don't have to tell her. mine doesn't know the in and outs of my depression and mine only came out through a chance-incident at college/school. just tell her if it feels right. it may be good for her to know though, so she can support you and make sure you are okay.

good luck =]
