My mom is the person I am closest to in my family. I am depressed. She told my brother and I that if we ever needed to talk to her we could. I feel awkward talking to her about my problems in person and I think I am depressed. I have a way with words on paper and have been told I am a good writer. I would like to have a good self esteem and a happy life before it's too late. Can I tell her that I am depressed through a note?

I think its a great idea. Sometimes it's much easier to communicate through writing. You can say whatever you want and are less likely to forget important details or feelings. Also it gives the other person a chance to fully absorb everything before responding. As a mom, I can say that I would really appreciate my kids writing to me rather than not talking at all.
I'm sure your mom will be relieved that you are putting your trust in her and giving her a chance to help you (it's every mothers dream). Good luck sweetheart, I wish you all the best.

Hey hun, I'm 14, so essentially your age however I were having suicidal ideas for approximately 2 years and I recognize its terrible and also you think like no person honestly entirely is familiar with however you ought to speak to a counselor or your favourite trainer on account that it's going to simply worsen. I reduce and feature have consuming problems. My brother calls me terrible names everyday and so do plenty of children at university so I simply cry at night time, seem Next week is my first day again at university after a holiday and I am going aright to the advisors workplace, Ive on no account been there and im terrified however i haven't any different choice, If i will do it I'm definite you'll be able to. Be powerful it does get larger! it has too! do not take your existence on account that humans do not recognize you! as quickly as your 18 you'll be able to move anyplace you favor and discover humans you belong with. Don't speak to 'peers' I attempted that after and for a few purpose no person believed me and good that made me think even worse. You can get via this.

Use whatever method you feel you need to to tell her. You could include a request that she speak with you about your depression in the note. This will resolve both of the major problems that you have at the moment. You will feel better after doing so.

Yes !! Tell her through a note and be sure to include in the note that you definitely want to discuss this more in person. Tell her that you might want to see a psychiatrist and psychologist team to figure out whats going on with you and begin the steps to solve it.
Im glad you decided that you want to tell her. Do it because depression can get worse and destroy your life (coming fron someone who has been there) .

I write my mom notes about how I feel all the time. It works just be careful what you say. People misconstrue alot of things. If your depressed you need to get help. Tell a consulor or a friend talk to someone. Therapy helps you can sometimes get help throw your county. Im getting free therapy cuz im poor.

Yes!!! It is .... I hid the fact that I was depressed from my mom for many months and confided on a friend till I hit rock bottom. She knew something was going on with me, So under an ultimatum I wrote a note explaining what was happening with me and it worked fine ... alot more comfrotable then talking face to face with her! Good Luck!

yes you can tell your mom by writting a note.... but then again.. what if she reads it and takes it the wrong way and is hurt that you feel you cant approcch her.... just tell your mom..a nd try not to use medications. usually the doctors are handing oout anti depressants like lollies in a candy shop.. try to use some herbal alternatives. they dont seem to fix the problem immediately .. but in the llong run with good exercise youw ill get alot of benifit form herbs.....

many people can express themselves better in a letter, they can gather their thoughts, etc.. If you think this is the best way for you to get out what you are feeling then do it. I would also explain to her why you are writing a letter.
Your doing the right thing by telling someone. It doesn't matter how you do it-just that you do it!
best of luck, sweetie!

Yes, totally fine! I also used to talk with notes when I was younger, even though I was very close to my mom.
Go ahead, write her a letter and tell everything.

yes. thats definitly a very good idea. if you arent comfortable saying it to her in person you probably never will tell her at all unless you write it to her, and it is very important that you let her know how you are feeling, so yes. you can.
