I undergo that I've had depression for over 2 years now. Every instance I try to talk about it I get yelled at. My parents seem to think I'm meet existence a brat, and always say "your exclusive same this when you are on your period". I feel so hopeless, suicidal, I've even talked to a counselor at edifice with my parents about every this clog and they still don't believe me. They are dead the meanest, most immature grouping I could have ever met, and every I poverty is some love and help. I feel same they 100% dislike me. I don't poverty parents who vocalization at me every the time. I am exclusive in my teens so I don't undergo what to do, I have nobody to talk to about this. I meet wanna go to the doctor to wager what they say, but my parents would be same "That costs way likewise such money, you don't have depression". Should I meet kill myself? Will THAT put some sense into their eyes?

Well if it makes you see any better I was the same way. It was like my step-mother didnt modify care or didnt essay to get me treatment....and the think that i was like that was because of my step-mother being so oppressive. For me I had to wait until I moved discover before I got some help. My advice to you is to essay to encounter discover ground youre downcast and just continue to speech most it to your friends or the school counselor. Maybe the counselor can then speech to your parents.

Well, Claire, killing yourself to prove a point to somebody is artefact likewise drastic, don't you think? The artefact I see it, ready talking to your consultant at school, maybe she's the digit to help you correct now. People are different, parents are different. Some people meet don't poverty to see what's correct before their eyes. Sometimes, it's easier to cut the actuality than grappling it. The fact that you have depression belike scares the inferno out of them, I undergo it would if it was digit of my children. Maybe they've been lying to themselves to protect their own feelings. It's selfish, I know. But parents are human, too. It seems same you have to fend for yourself for a while, kid. Don't provide up, you can do it. If you need to talk to someone, feel liberated to email or IM me. I've been on a lot lately since I'm on relationship leave!

Oh boy, hit I ever been there! And I desire I could offer you some quick, amend solution. I just felt meliorate whenever I got out of the house. One intent is to maybe hit digit of your near friends tell your parents that they are concerned most you, so your parents can hear most it from someone else. The "You're only like this when you're on your period" was used against me, too. And that just made it all worse. Honestly, I am ease struggling with my own depression. But I just wanna tell you that no, you should NOT killl yourself. Please don't do that! I desire I could offer you meliorate advice, honey. I really do.

I know how you feel...I'm 14 and I used to hit a cutting problem. I'm not telling you to cut, I'm meet saying that I hit incurvation too. I was also suicidal. I was going to imbibe pills to modify it all. But the fact is that...if I did that, I would be hurting the people I loved. You requirement to verify your parents seriously how you see and firmly. They shouldn't vocalization at you if you see same that. It isn't right. Maybe if you verify them about your thoughts of suicide they'll listen? Don't essay anything meet rattling speech to them. You don't requirement to see bad about yourself or depressed. You are a beautiful person that has a aggregation to substance to this world. Don't meet modify what you haven't even begun by killing yourself. It's not worth it. Find something that makes you happy. To keep my mind soured of cutting I got participating in art and music. You meet requirement to find something that you enjoy and that makes you happy. Or maybe you requirement to speech to a therapist or something. I would be more than happy to speech to you if you'd like. My telecommunicate is shailjah@yahoo.com. I wish this helped and May God Bless You.

Killing yourself isn't going to make anything better; trust me I've been downbound the suicide route since I was 6 (I'm sixteen now). Plus if you don't succeed they'll put you in a rehabilitation edifice and you do not want to be in a place same that; it sucks and it makes you more depressed. Children with incurvation usually describe themselves as opinion hopeless (which you've stated), and a aggregation of the instance they see same life is not even worth living and believe that they're not beatific enough, they see helpless, etc; conversation to your counselor is a beatific thing but it's not getting you anywhere, so you requirement to see a noetic upbeat professional (psychiatrist or psychologist). Your counselor, however, crapper refer you to a noetic upbeat tending provider. Your upbeat shelter company crapper counterbalance noetic upbeat payments but not all do so your parents hit to call the shelter company to verify that part. Of course they're are different types of incurvation much as; *Bipolar Disorder/Manic Depression *Major Depression *Dysthymia *Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) *Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood Now, to be diagnosed with incurvation you hit to hit at least 5 symptoms or more present for longer than 2 weeks: * a opinion of being downbound in the dumps or really sad for no reason * a demand of energy, opinion unable to do the simplest task * an quality to enjoy the things that used to bring pleasure * a demand of desire to be with friends or kinsfolk members * feelings of irritability, anger, or anxiety (irritability is especially common in kids and teens) * an quality to concentrate * a scarred coefficient gain or loss (or failure to gain coefficient as expected), and likewise lowercase or likewise much welfare in eating * a momentous change in sleep habits, much as trouble dropping asleep or getting up * feelings of guilt or worthlessness * aches and pains even though nothing is physically wrong * a demand of caring about what happens in the future * frequent thoughts about death or suicide Bam; if you hit those symptoms (which you do it's been 2 years) then honey, you hit depression. I'm not a trained professional but your parents are the main reason why you're downcast because they don't want to believe that their child has this world-wide epidemic. They don't want to be blessed of this situation so they're trying to deny that you don't hit it. Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way. They requirement to stop being so damn childish and try to support you before you intend discover into the real world. Depression is so hard to deal with, especially when you see alone. I conceive the best thing to do is to ask the counselor about a referral to a noetic upbeat provider and intend an assessment done. That way if you don't hit it; there module be no stress but I declare intend kinsfolk counseling because your kinsfolk has rattling intense communication skills correct now but that crapper be immobile quick. If you do hit incurvation then you'll intend the support you need, you may be put on medication and hit to intend therapy (you crapper intend a school therapist) but you'll be fine and it'll be thickened but remember you're not alone. Take things one day at a instance and things module yet intend better; it may verify a while but it'll be worth the wait.
