I'm 16, and I'm a diabetic. I last had an appointment about a month ago now, and they noticed I seemed kind of down and wasn't taking very good care of myself. She told me diabetics have an 80% chance of having depression more then normal people. I started thinking and I keep getting more upset everyday. All I really want to do is cry and stay home.

I try telling my mom, no, actually I have told her. I took a test online to see how depressed I was and I had 12 signs out of 15... I listed them off to my mom and she said I don't have depression and I'll get over it. I have had thoughts about the world not minding if I died. But I would never kill myself, I think that'd be selfish but you never know what it could turn into I guess.

I'm just asking, how do I talk to someone? I feel embarrassed. And I don't want people to call me crazy, or an attention seeker. You'd think sense my teachers started asking me what's wrong, and I'm now asking my mom about online schooling she'd start to realize I need help.

I can't talk to my school guidance counselor. I hate her, She wouldn't help me, and I guess I just honestly don't know what to do anymore. I'm fed up. And I haven't been in a social mood at all, my friends don't even try to help.:( any suggestions... -kayley.

Is there a teacher you like and trust? Tell that person.

When my friend was practically dying from his dad told him this story
"there was a boy who broke his hand and he cried in pain, but his father told him to ignore the pain and it would go away, so he tried but he was still in pain. the boy went to his mother in tears and she told him the same thing, if you ignore the pain it will go away, but still the pain didnt go away, and in turn it got worse and worse. now the boy had a lover and she saw his pain, but instead of telling him to ignore the pain she asked him to chop off his broken hand, and he did, but he didnt stop crying, and the pain only got worse"
Do you feel like your pain can't be ignored?

Try asking if you can talk to another guidance counselor. I'm 16 and have depression also, and I do notlike my guidance counselor either. Lol. And if that doesn't work, find a teacher who you trust. They'll know what to do usually.
