...dont know what to do
What i have to say is similar to basically everyone on here and it makes me even more depressed to think that i am the same as many others... I am 14 in year 9, i havent been to school for 3 months and i have been diagnosed with depression. I am taking medication for it.. At 14! But it doesnt even help. I see a psychiatrist every week but i have no self esteem and open up to nobody so i hate going there weekly judt to sit in silence so i dont think the psychiatrist even helps either. I stay at home everyday in my room either sleeping most of the day so that i dont have to endure it or i just sit and listen to the music i love... My parents yell at me everyday and try to drag me out of bed and drive me to school but all that happens is i run away and sit on the street somewhere crying judt to get away from them. Noone seems to understand how sht i feel. For a while i had a bf who i thought i loved and i judt texted him all day talking about everything with him but then he left me and i tried to kill myself.. I was going to hand myself on my door but i couldnt -_- i dont know why i cant but i wish so much that i could just not have to deal with it all somehow and the only way i can think of is suicide. I cut myself for a week but my mum found out and cried... So i felt sorry for her and stopped. I used to have friends but since i stopped going out i stopped seeing them so im too scared to talk to them because i dont think they will know me anymore. Im new on this site and i dont know what will happen to this but im just thankful to tell someone how i feel about everything..
thankyou for reading my stuff and replying so quick :)
about what you said about my day i was a bit confused but pretty much every day i struggle so...as for your son i really feel for him, i know what he must be dealing with :/
im not really sure what bipolar is, i mean i know of it but now that you have mentioned it i will look it up :) im all for learning new things..
i think the reason i posted that was because i just got back from a holiday from the country i was born so now i am back i feel a bit worse than normal so it's going to be a bit hard for a while :( i miss all my family and friends..
anyway thankyou and of course :)

DLet me start by saying 'hi' I'm really sorry you are having to deal with all of this, suffering from depression can be isolating and whether you speak about how you are coping or that your day has Benn so. ##"" where isn't as important as just if nothing else please talk, if it helpss on here, with someone at home (we do like to know , honest ;-) )
I suffer from bipolar disorder that I have dealt with since I was 13 years old, my eldest son is 16 and suffers from bipolar also but he deals with severe depression, I have an illness myself but nothing compares to watching him try to with depression. I know that living with a mental illness day after day with no let up takes a alot out of you. I am so proud of my son and you both cope with illness is something you should give yourself credit for but also the fact you choose to get up every. morning is something you should all be proud of beccause. I am.
When you are dealing with an illness that makes what is a known difficult and confusing time in your life and if you add on what depression can do to, . I can completely understand why it seems like it's just too much for you to cope with. I remember asking myself why I was different, why were my friends able to feel happy but I couldn't and I understand why
I was lucky enough to have an aunt I did trust and who when pushed I cou old speak to. I would like ,as a parent to claim that we are always there and we are best place to start but in reality that isn't always the case so I won't make a promise someone is unable to use. Please don't give up on your parents completely, accepting you have a problem they don't understand without where to start to helping you get better. As I've found myself, parents have this annoying inbuilt button that makes us want to save you is constantly being hit. it isn't that I don't think my son can cope, I just don't want him to have to constantly struggle. I think I'm a subject of amusement aswell as embarrassment. :-)
Keep us posted on how you're doing, I'm always here if you need a chat. Stay safe.
Hang on in there, always about if you need me kee
