    Sounds like it may be depression.

    I feel very concerned after reading something like this... You may get better advice over on the Emotional Health threads.

    Please, look for professional help, tell you parents, tell somebody.

    Keep us updated

    By the way, is there any recent event that triggered all this? Talking about it could help

    It sounds to me like depression. Those are very common symptoms of depression. I would recommend getting some professional help. It might help to talk to someone. Has anything bad happened to you recently? Sometimes bad things that happen in our lives can cause depression.

    I Don't Know How To Tell My Parents... They Won't Believe Me They'll Say "Dont Be So Stupid" :(

    Your 13,your parents can help you and they will understand.

    If you can't talk to them perhaps an aunt or other family member.

    WHy would your parents tell you not to be stupid?
    This is serious, especially if you're having thoughts of suicide. They need to know so that they can help you.

    What does any of this have to do with the boy might I ask? Is this something bad that happened?

    Well He Was Like A Dream Come True, And I Never Fell In Love Till I Met Him (Like Love At First Sight) But I Thought He Was Too Good For Me, So I Didn't Speak To Him, And Hoped He'd Speak To me But He Didn't And When I Got Back From Holiday I Kind of Regreted That I Didn't Speak To Him And Cried For About 1Week.
    Seriously My Mum Won't Believe Me

    You never spoke to him, but you fell in love with him? It doesn't work that way honey.
    You know absolutely nothing about him except for what he looks like.

    Yeh... Suppose :(

    ohsohappy

    I really don't think this is the main issue.
    Think back, is there something that's happened that's upset you besides this?
    Also, it could be the seasonal change, it depresses me sometimes. Especially when it's all gloomy and crappy outside.
    You think maybe this might hve soemthing to do with it?

    Im Not Sure, I Can't Think Of anything :(

    I Don't Know How To Tell My mother... I Probably Need To Give Her Evidence Or Something Knowing Her :(
  • Oct 4, 2009, 01:59 PM
    ohsohappy

    Just explain to her how you're feeling and ask her for her imput. As your mother, I'm sure she would understand and try to help you. Give her a chance to help you. :)

    I Don't Know Like What Esactly To Say
    If I Just Say To Her Randomly " I Think Im Suffering From Depression" She'll Laugh. She'll Just Say Something Like " Dont Be Silly " And If Its At Night She'll Just Say "Go To Sleep And Stop Acting Ridiculous" :( Gosh I Wish This Could Be Easier.

    It could be that your brain chemistry has gotten screwed up, maybe because of all the hormones cruising through your body right now. Do you have an older sister or an aunt or a friend's mother whom you can talk with about these feelings? If I lived closer, I would invite you over for milk and cookies and we would talk about what to do next.

    That's too general and dramatic. Could you talk to her about specific stuff, like wanting to hurt yourself or other feelings that are very serious? (Or tell her you just feel horrible -- achy and sore? -- and ask if you can go to the doctor.)

    Have you cut yourself anywhere? Would a good friend be with you when you talk with her? Then she can't push you away.

    Your behavior and moods, and a blood test would also give proof of what's going on in your body and brain with chemical levels.

    If I were you, I would approach her when the two of you are spending time toghther. And say. "hey mom, something weird has been going on with me lately" and begin to explain your feelings and situation. I'm sure that if you approach her this way, she'll be more likely to listen you.

    Those songs are called being an EMO KID!

    Yes you may have depression, yes you do need help.

    Tell your parents about it, if they laugh at you DEMAND that they listen and tell them you are SERIOUS.

    If they still do not listen then go talk to your school counselor, you do not need your parents permission and it is confidential.

    You need to remember that this isn't a chat room, that it may take time to get responses.

    With that said, you need to talk to your mom and tell her how you are feeling. Let her know that your feelings are real to you and that you think you need some kind of help.
  • Oct 6, 2009, 01:06 PM
    xxsophiexx95

    She Only Thinks Its Hormones, She Had Depression When She Was Younger She Said, And She said That She Knows What It Feels Like. She Doesn't Believe me :(
  • Oct 6, 2009, 01:24 PM
    ohsohappy

    Then your next step is the school counselor. It might be hormones and depression, but if you're hurting yourself then you NEED help, and your mother needs to try and help you instead of blowing it off as a hormonal thing.
