Help plz

I am 13 years old, and I really neeed help. I had quite a tramatic life at a young age which resulted in many mental problems that surficed as life begin to even out. When I was 7 I was diaognosed with ocd, depression, and anxiety. As of recently around thanksgiving of 2010 i had a very bad break down and have not been able to attend school and had to be homeschooled and barely can leave the house. Nothing really onset it I just broke down. I have been a cutter secretly since the age of 5. And my mood can go from happy to suicidal in the course of hours. My parents are not help because they believe i am just a very hormonial teenager, even though my dad should since he went through the same thing. I can not concentrate because of loud noises in my head i can not understand, the words. And i also feel as if everything is flying by and the world is spinning. When i become very distraught i reside in my head trying to exscpe the world. I can hear a voice tell me to do things as counting my steps jumping up and down x amount of times which resulted in being labled having ocd. I can not even function regurally without a breakdown or going into a mode where i listen to my head. Because i worry when the voice says i will have a consequence if i dont do what it says even though i dont belive it i do. i have constant  headaches and i can not go to sleep at night. Lately i have been contemplating suicide again, and have been very sure it would be best even though i dont have a reason to die other than my constant pain which i can not take anymore, not for my sake but for those around me i effect. I have also been thinking about trying 2 check myself into a mental hospital to get my life back together, or maybe to be forgotten about those around me. Im cluless and im scared cuz i have no idea whats wrong with me all i know is that i can not keep doing what i am doing and if something dosent change i am gonna be dead soon.

it also kind of sounds like borderline personality disorder but i am not a doctor and cant diagnosis you. but maybe look it up on Google. why not ask your doctor/psychologist for a diagnosis? and then ask for treatment options.

Klonopin is a good med for anxiety. However, it should be taken every day, usually twice a day. It takes about a week for it to build up in your system. If your only taking it once a week it's no wonder your not getting any benefit from it. Your Dad was taking a very high dose and I'm a little surprised he was prescribed this med for migraines. I'm not an expert on migraines so this may be common practice. Anyway, I think considering your age, your Dr might start you off on .25 mgs twice a day. From what I know about this med it's pretty safe to take long term. The symptoms your describing sound like possible bi-polar. Has your Dr ever mentioned that to you? If you are bi-polar then an antidepressant like Zoloft would'nt be a good choice for you. Are you getting any counseling right now? Suicide is not an option. Your so young and have your whole life ahead of you. I really think with the right counseling and possible meds your going to be just fine. We're here to help you any way we can.  Remar

by the way when it got unbearable i was taking zoloft. i have tried pretty much every medicine out there and i do see a therapist, phsycatrist, and phycologist. As of now i am taking luvox, clonopin, and different things for sleeping. None of these help i still cant sleep and feel the same, and the only thing that slightly helps is clonipin. However clonipin wears of quite fast and only can be taken about once a week. Some people take it more than that but its not good and can have long term effects, belive me i would never do that. Cuz clonipin was what my dad was taking for cluster migranes and he became very sick becuz his docter told him to take 3 a day and that wasnt how it was 2 be used and he still isnt the same after almost 15 years.
