I've been depressed since 6th grade, all the time. I feel like everyone in the world hates me, I can't connect to anyone, not even my best friends. Family hates me. Failing school, just a few more years of school, gonna be a failure, homeless no money. I never feel happy, I either feel nothingness, anger, saddness, and other negative emotions. I don't think i've ever been happy before.
Had a rough childhood too, was depressed after 6, cried when my dad left. Lost the 2 girls that i have loved in my life. My mom has talked to my school consoler before, saying i don't need help or anything, she won't let me seek professional help. Life just seems so pointless to continue...

About maybe two years ago I was very depressed, i mean like trying to kill myself everyday. Then after that school year I just stopped caring, stopped feeling, covered up pain with nothingness. The depression just came back, can't seem to cover it up anymore.
I have no idea what to do. I don't like talking to consolers and stuff in real life because I feel like they don't understand, like they can't help.

dude I know kind of how you feel I've had depression too
it's sad thoughts all the time and this makes it hard on your family and friends because it isn't any fun being around someone whose down and lot of the time you probably are just alone and that makes you seem strange or you feel as though people think you are strange.
you should definitely see a doctor they will provide counseling and maybe medication that will help bring you up out of the sadness.
maybe you can show your mom your question and all the responses to help her understand better.
God bless you

Where's the question?
You're depressed. That's a statement, not a question.
The whole darned thing is a statement... and a very long one at that! You have too much time on your hands. The world doesn't hate you. Your family doesn't hate you. You can't connect, because you don't want to connect. You're failing school because it's easier than actually trying to apply yourself. You're lazy. You want to be a failure? Then you'll live up to your expectations, trust me! Homeless, penniless? Whatever!! You don't feel happy because that takes work. Negative is easy.
Boo Hoo! You had a rough childhood (it's not over yet buddy!). Who didn't have a rough childhood? Get over it. You're in the 9th grade... you're NEVER going to love a girl again? Good Lord! Could you BE any more dramatic.
If you're threatening suicide, you've come to the wrong place. Do not come into this forum and pull this crap here! You want help? Then get off your butt and get it!! Counselor. Pastor. Neighbor. Uncle. Grandfather. Friend's dad. Merry Christmas.
Just going through all your other questions, you were 14 in one, then you were 15. Hmmmmmmmm
Then you were depressed for 2 years, now it's 4 years! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Interesting. Very interesting.
And in a lot of your other questions you had MANY best friends that you have to get Christmas gifts for?! Many.
Try to keep your facts straight when you make up your next question.

I remember feeling a lot of the same things. Being a teenager can be really hard. I would never choose to go through high school again. I wish I could offer you a lot of help, but I don't know how. I do believe that God cares for you and for all of us. He hears our cries and feels our pain with us. Maybe you can try talking to your school counselor on your own. Help is out there and you may be surprised to find out who actually does care about you.
Try to do positive things for yourself. Focus on the good things in your life. Try to be thankful for what you do have and reach out to others who may be even worse off than you. These types of things may not seem helpful at first but if you make the effort, they often help a great deal.

Keep in mind, you are young, there are hormones raging in your body, which is still changing and growing. I remember feeling the same way when I was young, depressed, sad, hopeless. It also has a lot to do with not being taken over by your emotions. When you're young it is hard to master all these feelings. Sounds like YOU need to talk to the guidance counselor. Also if you tell your mother in a sincere way that you genuinely believe you need help I am pretty sure she will listen.

I am not familiar with your grading system so don't know how old you are. My advice is talk to your GP or the Nurse at school. If not there will be voluntary helplines, look in the Library. You need an objective person to talk with and your Mum is clearly not. You have rights and one of them is to get help whether your mum approves or not. Whatever you do you must do something as it sounds as though you are about to explode. Action will take the pressure off, try it. Good Luck

Find a good religion(advice, not an order), and do service, it has been proven that service releases the same endorphines as depression medications without all the crappy side effects. Keep yourself knowing that there is someone who cares for you, even if it feels like there isn't, and also find that not focusing too much on yourself, but on others, may make you happier,

I was very introverted. and somewhat depressed. for many reasons.no father around. brothers against me. shy.was molested at age 7. but I got angry at myself for letting life control me. I read some positive thinking books, and applied the methods to my life. I am now a great salesman.and have forgiven everyone. forgiveness is very much necessary to go forward in life. tell yourself your fine over and over. that things will turn out OK.You must have faith. if you believe things will go badly then they will. if you believe that life will go fine for you it will. it deals with your attitude. you must have a good attitude. that's the main thing you must do. have some dreams of things you wont to accomplish.Gods spirit has helped me thru a lot. I have suffered more then most people.simply ask for the Spirit of God to come into you. with love and Faith and it Will. your faith opens your self to it.so it may work thru you. to make your life wonderful. it can all turn around for you if you will have the Right attitude.please work on this.just have faith as a child has for the power of Gods spirit to help you. it is a real force. I have seen miracles. It will work thru you.but you must have a good attitude. force yourself to smile. to dream. to have hopes of the future. visualize what you wont. know it will happen and it will. I wish you the very best and hope you have a very Merry Christmas,

Your mom won't let you seek professional help? It is your life and your right if you feel you need it. You don't need your parents' permission. Speak to the counselor on your own or a clergyman or doctor. Depression is a medical condition that can and should be treated. No one, especially a parent, should jeopardize your health.

If you want help: I can give you some advice but: Damned if I'm going to blow a bunch of air at someone that doesn't give a damned to start with, it's up to you Pal.
I watch two of my friends die through suicide from drinking because of Viet Nam, they felt they should have stayed there with our friends we left behind. Their wives called me and a friend to help. We talked for days, to no avail. We buried them a few months apart. What a waste.
Depression can go deeper if after two years you don't get help. You need professional help, not from us, you need a drug regulated program and psychiatric help, with proper aides and consulars.
If you think you need help, reach out to someone, they're there for you, you have to tell them. Go to an ER and ask, go to your doctor or make an appointment. I worked for the NEON group out of the West bank of the University of Minnesota to help people like you, reach out.
