ps. im only 14 and have had depression for about two years

Answer 1

Contact a mental health facility in your area, they will see that you get proper attention, with or without mom's help!

Answer 2

I think that you are so full of it. You are only 14 years old and you are already depressed. You have not even experience life yet. If you think it's tough now wait till you reach adulthood. However, if you are seriously ill, then you should definitely visit a psychologists. You can, also, tell your mom that if she does not believe you then she should let you see the psychologists. The psychologists will talk about your problem, and know whether you are really depressed if you are then they will prescribe you some drugs or discuss more about your problem. The reason why I don't believe you is because you have the guts to admit it, normally people in your state (the depressed state) would not admit it and continue living in that state or take the easy way out (such as killing themselves); this is probably why your mother does not believe that you are depressed

Answer 3

Well, I have depression too and I'm your age. I find that running or doing anything to get your heart rate up will help you feel better. It releases endorphins and is a natural anti-depressant. Exercise in general is a natural anti-depressant, except fo like weight lifting. You also can ask a councelor at your school or a teacher or trusted adult for help . You need to do as much as you can to try and convince your mom.Try telling her exactly how you feel. If you can't find the right words to use do an online depresion test to find out your symptoms and then take the information to her, you can do more than one if you like. Don't do anything that could injure yourself, trust me I have had family members commit suicide and its not a good idea. I know how you feel but you have to stop thinking about suicide. Its not the answer. Do you want depression to beat you? Do you want to end your life just because of a chemical imbalance in your brain? I don't think so. You have made it two years you can beat it. Also you can research depression and there are many ways that you can naturally beat depression that don't require your mom's help. But the running thing works really good(for me at least). And you don't even have to run that much, you can just jump up and down to get your heart rate up. DON'T kill yourself. please?

Answer 4

There are a few things you can do. One is to talk with your school guidance counselor about your depression. Your guidance counselor is obligated by law to address your problem which is called neglect (parent isn't responding the medical needs of the child). She will call your mother and require her to seek treatment on your behalf. If your mother refuses, the guidance counselor is required by law to call social services which would require your mother to seek treatment on your behalf. Social services may impose other conditions such as counseling for your mother so she improves her parenting skills when it comes to dealing with your emotional issues. This should take care of your problem.

You can call social services and tell them your situation.

You could also walk-in or call your medical doctor and tell the office that you are suffering from depression and need treatment. The office may require that you bring in your mother. You could then discuss your issue with them and ask them to talk with your mother.

You could also contact 911 and tell them you feel suicidal and ask what can be done. I would think that they would transport you to a hospital for treatment.

You can contact the court system and file for emancipation so that you can make your own medical decisions. You would be appointed a guardian and the guardian would work out a solution. You may not get emancipation, but you would get treatment. This would involve some research on your part. You would need a pro bono attorney unless the court would lend you an emancipation case file that you could copy.

Good luck dealing with your problems. You seem to be mature and capable.

Answer 5

I' really sorry to hear you are so unhappy. I know how hard it can be at your age, having suffered from depression myself when I was a teenager.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm studying Clinical Psychology now and it is really opening my eyes. Take it from me, you will have to be strong, and it wont be easy, but you can make it through this.

Its really terrable that your mother wont listen to you. I understand that it must be hard to feel that you dont have the support of a person so close to you. You will have to seek out help yourself. There are a lot of free help lines you can call anonamously and they really do help, believe me, I know.

I'm not sure where you are, if in the UK, there is a line called Breathing Space: 0800 838 587 Otherwise you can contact me and I'll do my best to help.

But please, dont do anything drastic, as much hell as you are going through, there is an opposite, a good life. Its just a matter of accepting the help that is offered to you.

I truly hope this helps. My thoughts are with you.

Answer 6

I heart and soul goes out to because you are a minor who is aware that you have mental problems that can be resolved and your mother is not supportive.

Please try an use every alternative solution that is possible.

Your problem is complicated being a minor. Don't let that stand in the way of these alternative solutions I am going to give you.

I don't know what country you reside in as the laws very from country to country.

1) Go to your local police station an ask to talk with a female detective if you are a female. Or a male detective if you are a male. An explain to them that you are feeling like you are about to go over the edge and may take my own life. Ask them to please help me to get professional help even if my mother does not approve.

2) Talk with your priest or minister and ask them to talk with your mother to try and make her understand.

3) Talk with your school social worker or school psychologist and demand that they support and help you to obtain help with or without your mothers permission.

4) As a last resort walk into the nearest emergency room an explain your situation to the intake person, or if you are lucky to bypass them and see a doctor. (Then perhaps your mother will get the message).

5) I think she will get the message if you can talk a detective from your local police department to come to your home and talk to your mother. Perhaps after talking with the detective there will be legal action that can be taken against your mother depending on what country you reside in to get the help you need without her permission.

Please what ever you do don't take your life. You are young and believe me that you have everything in this world to live for. Your entire life is ahead of you.

And with professional help or medications if that is the case you will live a quality life and look back on the past knowing you did the right thing.

Plus if you belive in God it is a mortal sin to take your own life.

I will pray for you as that is all I can do.

God bless you and watch over you.

Answer 7

Steph,

Your mum might be overwhelmed by your depression. The answers above are all very good. You may want to consult your school guidance counselor, school nurse -- but you may also want to contact a person involved in the church or synagogue you belong to and speak to your doctor. Sometimes it hormones playing a horrible trick on a person - sometimes it is something in your diet triggering the depression.

Most of us have learned to take the lines of "I feel like committing suicide" from teenagers very seriously. By your being here and writing, I hope you know that most of us have our hearts going out to you -- but our mouths saying -- GET HELP...

I wish you well, and I hope you will outgrow this affliction called being a teenager -- and start enjoying life.

Good luck to you. I hope you find your way.

Answer 8

Talk to your school nurse, if your school has one, or talk to a teacher in your school. If that doesn't get you the results you need, then talk to another teacher. keep telling the people you think can help you. You are not the only teen suffering like this. Keep emailing if you need to also. Yahoo groups may have one for teens with depression. Check it out & don't isolate yourself too much.

Answer 9

Ok take a deep breath and think about all the great and wonderful things in life like your freinds and family and the truth is and you might not like this but I too am only about 14. But anyway listen try and pray about it mabey even find a church and Im sure they will gladly open their arms to you and help you with everything. I would definitly pray about it though because God has helped me so much in my life and whatever you do please don't kill your self because no matter what God will always love you.

Answer 10

You need to find help for yourself if your mother does not believe you. I am so sorry that she doesn't seem to be helping you. Search on the internet for some therapists that you could go to and then tell your mother again.. You need to find some help ASAP. If you find the therpists yourself then your mom will probably think you really have a problem if you are taking the time to help yourself.

Answer 11

PLEASE listen, you can go to the local hospital or call the teen hotlines, Honey I am a 38 year old mom with three teens I understand where you are coming from,Or you can call the Police if you think that you are going to hurt yourself, And I think you are at that point. All you need to do is explain to any person on the phone that you decide to talk too. Please, Please you sound like a smart young person call someone now, a grandma, teacher, hospital or police, I will think of you in my prayers tonight.
God Bless
