Question

I'm on a suicidal pulse right now. Yes, I am depressed, and no, I don't want to be put on medication. I've already been on it and it never worked. It just made me feel even more worse about myself. Should I seek professional help ? Should I tell my teacher? I'm in school right now

I've been depressed for 5 years now ever since my parents divorced. Maybe even before that. I'm 16, I'm invisible in my world, I want it to stay that way!

I never want to see my mom again. She abused me for 15 years. Sure, some of you might say that I should forgive her. I will one day but I'm not sure if I am able to call her. I rather not have any confrontations at the moment. She has my cat and dog, she refuses to give them back. What kind of human being would not give a child their pets back?People like her, people who are heavily medicated, that's who. How sad, how sad it is to have her being my mother. She has done nothing but lie to me. Telling me that no one loves me, accusing my father of sexual assualting me. She has no proof of such a stupid thing. She is a coward, and has the ability to hide behind her words and not face the world like the rest of us do. Instead, she hides in her house, never to come out. I saw her months ago when I had a court order for my belongings. She looked pale and ugly and overweight. No, she is not my real mother. She adopted me!

Oh and sorry to disappoint all of those who believe in god, I don't. I'm sacralegious (is that the word?) and please, don't try to tell me god loves me. God, in my mind, does not exsist. If you believe in him, I respect your decision but please, respect mine. I no longer wish to have anything to do with your religion. Don't try to make me change my mind.

Answer 1

Go find someone you know and trust tell them NOW...... The Nurse is also a good resourse to talk with......GOOD LUCK!! People are out there that love you I feel that...

Answer 2

I think you should talk to someone you trust TODAY -- maybe the school nurse or counselor or a favorite teacher. I understand that you don't want to be on medications but I bet you have some kind of imbalance of either brain chemicals or hormones that are causing you these feelings of doom -- it's common when you are growing so quickly. If you get the right medicine, you will probably feel much happier. Or, if you instead decide to try talking with a professional or some adult that you trust, you may be able to put these feelings of depression into perspective and see that this is just a phase that you are going through. I had a horrible teen-age period and now I am a very happy adult. I hope that you consider how your life impacts others and how sad and devastated they would be if you weren't around. I bet your parents, friends and siblings (if any) would never recover. Best wishes to you and do talk to someone today. I'm going to be thinking of you.

Hi Christina,
How long did you take the antidepressants for when you took them. It takes about 3-4 weeks for them them to start working, so maybe you just didn't give them a chance. Or maybe you weren't on the right type of antidepressant. If you are feeling suicidal you should turn to someone, a parent, sibling, teacer friend~whomever you feel you can confide in, but I urge you to get help. Hang in there, ok!

At 16 everything seems to be the end of the world~at least it did for me. Any change in my life, a fight with a friend, a breakup with a boyfriend. Evertime something happened bad in my life at that age I thought of suicide too. It seemed like the easiest answer~the only way out. But as you age everything changes although hard to believe. Things that once were the very center of your world are then things you laugh about later on in life. You are only 16, if your not already soon you'll be driving, couple more years you'll go to college and everything will change. Things do get better, just give it a chance~you'll see!

Answer 4

I agree, go person to person and put all your feelings out on the table. Medication can only be suitable for some and not all, sometimes the resolution is to have someone to talk to that will actually listen to what you have to say. If you don't get what you need from the nurse or the teacher, seek a close friend or family member (like sibling) that will listen to you. Sometimes others can help you put things into perspective when you are unable. Remember, nothing is resolved through suicide. Each person is too important to at least 10 other people to result to that.

Answer 5

You need to see a counselor or psychologist. i had depression when I was 16 and I was hospitalised for about 3 months on and off for trying to kill myself. Like you, mine started from family issues. i found out that my dad used to bash my mum (they had divorced when I was 2) and I lost it because I never knew that about my dad. Of course there were other problems too, but anyway.
You really should get help. If you get a counselor or doctor and you think they are full of ****, keep looking until you find one who you get along with and who understands you.
It must be difficult when it appears like your mum doesn't love you. Obviously she is sick, she isn't capable of love at the moment. But that doesn't mean that you are unlovable or that there is anything wrong with you as a person. There are lots of ppl who care about you, ppl just don't show it until they come to your funeral. But that will be too late for you to find out anyway so don't do it.

Don't listen to these other ppl saying it's just teenage problems. you have serious issues in your life, and you need to talk to someone about it. If you are in a crisis right now, go to the hospital emergency department and tell them you are suicidal, that way you can talk to someone straight away. You might have to exaggerate it a bit to get them to listen to you. You know what the health system is like.

Good Luck, believe me it will fade in time. Make some goals for yourself and prove to your mum that you don't need her holding you back. You can be better than that. You are at the beginning of your adult life, so make a life for yourself, think about what you want to do in life. What things do you enjoy doing? It sounds stupid but, get a hobby! Get a notebook and write a diary, if you don't already. Write down all your feelings, it helps to let it all out, especially when there is no-one to talk to except yourself. But don't work yourself up into hurting yourself. Sometimes the more you think about it, the more you think you have to do it. There is always hope. Anything is better than being dead. Good Luck.

Confidence and confidence and positive thinking see positive side. laugh read jokes. talk to ur friends about good things. Encourage ur mind. u can do it I will overcome this. U can win. All the best.

Answer 7

Yes - by all means seek professional help. There is no shame in admitting depression - the only shame is in NOT getting help, when there is so much available. I did, and it has made all the difference. Everyone has problems, and more and more depression is seen as a medical problem, not just psychological. You are worthy, you are a valuable human being, and you are worth it - don't give up on yourself.

Answer 8

I am really sorry to hear you are feeling this way. Sometimes medication does not work for all, so if it's not helping I would suggest to see your doctor right away and have him check you in to the psychological ward in the hospital. If you don't think you can make it to the doctors go straight to the hospital yourself. you are asking for help, you are needing help, demand the help from them as that is what they are there for. let them know you have suicidal thoughts that you are unable to control. please get the help now. God Bless

Answer 9

Sweetheart, Please see a doctor. I'm soooo sorry you've been abused, but it wasn't your fault. Please see a doctor. Divorce is hard on the children and you need to talk out some feelings you've kept in so long. First of all You are of infinite worth, you are a daughter of God whether you choose to believe or not, that is a fact you'll need to square with one day, but I can tell you you are somebody and are very important. Again please talk to someone soon.

Answer 10

You need to take a breath and calm down. Talk to your teacher, a friend, the nurse, anyone.
