confused?

[LostTeen]

Im pretty sure Im depressed, though i havent been diagnosed yet. No one knows, and everyone keeps telling me that its just because Im a teenager. Im suicidal, and am afraid that i will try something (cutting) if i am left alone. It runs in my family. I dont want to tell my parents because they already have a lot on there plate (they recently got a divorce) and everytime i mention something like that to my mom all she says is that im not. I would like to stay in a mental health hospital for a little while to get better and to get away from distractions. Im not sure how I do it though, and what its like?

hmm ive never actually been depressed but ive been really down it lasted a few years but i would go all out negative... i never actually figured it out it just kinda stopped. i would say if you want a diagnosis ask a doctor, theres stuff for depression, but you knew that.

Well, from your other post (if it was you and I didn't just conjure it up), you honestly sound dperessed. I would talk to your parents about it and convince them that you really are depressed.

If you're old enough you could go to a doctor, I know it sounds scary and difficult but it'll be worth it. You could tell your school counsellor if you have one. Other than that all I can think of is to convince whichever parent is more likely to beleive you. It's really important you get help.

i think you should definetly talk to a guidance counselor at school, or somthing, or if not, maybe you could tell a close friend that you know will support you. and if not, like the above post, tell a parent that you think will most likely believe you and will try to help you out. its definetly a good idea to tell someone about this. and i know, i eventually told my bestfriend and my guidance counselor at school, and i got over it eventually.
