Answer 1

Tell your doctor. Take the Beck Depression Scale. Get medication for a medical problem: depression.

Answer 2

I Want To Hurt Myself

Answer 3

Ooo, hun, one thing you need to do is relax. You see, life can be SOOOO much harder. If you want to get admitted into the hospital, tell your parents you need counseling. If you cannot get counseling from them, seek out a school counselor and tell them how you feel. Not comfortable with that? Make an excuse to see your family doctor and tell her/him what is up. They can refer you.

You need help. Depression is a very common thing. More common in teenagers due to the fact that a teenager's mind is developing, but that is not always the cause. If you approach folks with a level head and not an emotional one, they will listen.

Above all, do not hurt yourself. It does absolutely NO good and it leaves you with scars that last a lifetime. So many people have ugly lines on their arms that will never go away. What is worse, is that after they are done with depression, and they go about their lives, the scars are an ugly reminder of the past. That, in itself, is depressing.

I wish you luck.

Answer 4

Try NOT to cut on yourself! You think that kind of pain will take away your mental pain, but it's only very temporary.

You must have been told before to see a therapist and it sounds like you're tired of that answer. But the truth is, you DO need to see someone. Only people suffering severe emotional trauma or abuse start cutting on themselves. That needs a professional to deal with.

If you cut on yourself, you are likely to get a different reaction than you think. Your family won't understand your behavior and instead of feeling sorry for you, they may get angry at you instead. SO THAT IS NOT A GOOD REASON FOR CUTTING YOURSELF.

For now, at least call a crisis hot line. We really can't do much here. You're going to have to reach out and talk to someone without a computer in between you.

Answer 5

From another point of view, I understand you what your going through, but hurting yourself isn't the answer to your problem. I know you just want someone to listen and understand you. But if your boyfriend doesn't very listen to you, may be the point is he don't care and that no reason to hurt yourself . There no reason to care for someone who doesn't care for you. I don't know if you ever heard this phrase but it goes like this live life for yourself not other. And about your parents you have to work things out slowly don't let your emotions get in your way, cause in that motion you might say things that you don't mean and ending up hurting that person and those might be the things you can't take back if it hurt keep and journal where write you emotions down and what going on in your life the is effecting you that way you can work on it's to improve. Back to your boyfriend if really love him than tell him what bothering you and how it make you feel. And if you really care than you would know that he trying to work it out, but it make take few times before he start to get it through his head. Look before you do anything just think about it , like I say just don't hold thing to yourself let out either to someone you trust or even on paper you'll realize it actully works. I know what your going through I been in a four year relationships and work aren't going that well and something I cry for no reason and there day where no one understand you and you just feel like **** but only you can help yourself no one else.And learn how to love yourself before loving other. well goodluck and hope everything work out.


Okay this is king wrighting Let my tell you that ur not the only one i have numeris girls tell me the same thing. And you because your depressed have a better look at how things are relly going on.peaple that are not depprest tend to think that every thing is ok when its not.

Answer 6

if you do something to hurt yourself then your parents will really see this as being immature.have you tried writing your feelings down on paper.keep a journal of the feelings you have and put them in a poem or story or something.sometimes things don't seem half as bad when you put it on paper.
if you end up in the hospital, you're gonna get a whole lot more than you bargained for.they put you in the crazy house for a couple of days for"observalence",and if they find that you have depression they baker-act you and you won't get to see your parents or best friend until they feel you are not a threat to anyone including yourself.
please talk to your parents.they 're a lot more understanding than you give them credit for.trust me,you'll get the attention you're craving for.
don't play with acts of suicide because sometimes accidents become just that,an accidental suicide.

Answer 7

If you don't want therapy, you don't want to go to the hospital.
Someone told a counselor that I cut myself and I ended up staying over night at the hospital. Then, the next day, I went for my first therapy session.

6 months later, therapy ended and I was in the same situation, but more secretive about it.
It becomes an addiction -- as silly as that sounds, it's true.

The best way to get people to notice and to care about you, is to talk to them. If you need more encouragement, ask for it. Your parents won't call you immature over it, and if they do, talk to your school counselor. You're depressed, what's immature about that? Talk to your boyfriend. Talk to your friends.

Talk it out.
Cry it out.

Exercize, run, instead of hurting yourself. Exercize is good for the mind, especially running/walking. Paint, color, draw, out your emotions and then rip them up. Meditate.
There are SO MANY MORE things to do instead of hurting yourself.

Answer 8

Sweetie, you should not hurt yourself for attention because doctors know when someone does that and then they will put you away for a while. Besides, depending on where you live, it is illegal for you to hurt yourself and some states mandate a period of observation in a mental health facility. Calm down, and write down your feelings in a journal. I used to feel like you and I started writing everything down in a journal. I've been doing it for 22 years now, and it helps. Hope you feel better.

Answer 9

if they already think your being immature they're just going to get angry and might act irrational and stick you in facility. do you have any friends to talk to about this? i would see a dr and try to be put on some anti depressants or something bc if it gets worse you might get to the point you do want to kill yourself and it wouldn't be worth it, no matter how you feel right now you are loved by those closest to you and they wouldn't know what do to if they ever lost you and you don't want to cause them that pain. stay strong.

Answer 10

can't you see that you don't deserve to be treated like that? you are special, smart, and don't even know it.
if he can't see it too, then he doesn't deserve you.
parents can be so dumb...... your right!! if I were you I would speak to your parents in a calm voice, and say, I need help, can you help me? if they say NO, go get YOUR OWN HELP, without your parents, if they ask about the doc appt, tell them,you needed a responsible adult to help you with your depression,so you found some, so go and make your own doctor appointment, tell a doctor, HE WILL LISTEN!! your family doctor can give you antidepressants, and speak to a school counselor, they will keep your secrets, and tell you what to do about your parents not helping, listening, paying attention, and meeting your needs .
