I am 18 and have big issues.. and I mean big.. I can´t talk to my friends here about it, because they just don´t understand.. I tried several times and they don´t get.. They have had merry merry happy lives and have no idea what´s like to be heavily depressed... They think I am overreacting and that my feelings are fake.. My mom is not opened for talking since I can remember.. she´s a wonderful person and I love her more than anything and love hanging out with her, but when it comes to feelings, we just don´t talk.. The only people I can talk to, are my friends online, that I met in support groups and they understand my feelings.. But I live in Brazil and they live in the US, so, it´s not like I can get the phone and call them when I need, you know?So, many many times, I really need someone to talk, and there´s no one around (so, i keep posting and answering questions here :D ).. i was wondering if anyone else feels like this?? That they have no one to talk to!

If you're still in school, you can talk to one of the social workers or guidance counselors, that's what I did. If all else fails, I'm here and I'm sure I have more baggage than you.

Nope but I dont really get depressed any more I did when I was about 16. You'll find somebody to talk to when you're depressed and once you do, you wont get depressed any more because you know you have that person (finding a low stress activity will also help such as meditation or fishing which in my case is basically the same thing).

I have felt this at times. I was recently diagnosed with depression, unlike you though I don't have support groups I can turn to. Only a counsellor and whichever friends I trust. I don't generally confide in my family as we're not really that close. But if you ever need someone to talk to, my email is sugar_bear2525@hotmail.com, I'm on msn almost ALL the time lol.

I don't. Even when I go to my support group, & I am invited to share my feelings, I still find it hard to open up to them.
It sounds to me like you have a great relationship with your mom, even if she doesn't share feelings with you.
I think if she really knew how much you needed her that she would make a bigger effort to listen. It's up to you to challenge her. After all, you said, "when it comes to feelings, WE just don't talk". That means by your own admission, you are a contributor to the lack of communication with your mom.
So it's time you put the ball in her court.
Yes, I understand how you feel because I feel the same way. It's just that I recognized that you have a good chance of finding a good place to turn to in your mom. She just needs to understand how seriously you need her.
Feel better!

I hav nobody to talk to. My friends left me for other people. I got very depressed and started cutting myself. Both my arms have a lot scars on them and I just wish that I had somebody to talk to.I mean I could talk to you if you like. my email is defman8@yahoo.com. so when ever you need to talk you just email you. the only time I can checj my email is when i'm in computer class or when i'm at my friends house. but don't make the same mistake I did. It just make me wanna go back tto the way i was before

i used to be deeply troubled with personal things fears ambitions etc. but after i was done accepting feeling like **** i read these books my dad gave me and then i was happy again i dont know but i was happy again, these books said that this was normal and i talked to myself and my dad and friends who were all close, i think you should see a shrink or get a good long distance plan! i realized something, life is short you get a blink and then your dead (in the scheme of things) and ive decided my blink though may have bad things im going to enjoy it as much as i can! every day above ground is a good one

I do have someone to talk to, but only through email. I wish I had someone in person.
