Depression?

Question

Sometimes I feel really depressed&suicideal, other times I can be really happy. I dont know what to do. I'm 12 years old, and I don't know how to tell my parents. I have already tried to commit suicide, failing of course. My dad is kind of abusive, thats really the main reason why I have tried to commit suicide. My mom and sister say he isnt abusive, what do you guys think? He pulls my hair, one time hit me with a branch, calls me fat, tells me I'm an obnocios jerk&a brat, laughs at me when I cry, and tells me I'm stupid. I dont know what to do. I'm scared of him, and I havent talked to him in a month. What do I do?

Answer 1

Your Dad is in the wrong, not you and if your mum and sister won't listen to you and deny what he is doing then you need to get help from somewhere else. Do you have another adult outside of your close family that you could talk to? Maybe a family friend that you trust or a teacher at school?
Until you get the situation with him sorted out, I don't think you will be able to deal with the depression as that is likely to be the cause of it.
I am very sorry that you are feeling suicidal as well, just remember that there are always people out there who can help you, don't try and deal with all of this on your own.

Answer 2

Your father is abusive, physically and especially mentally. Talk to a trusted teacher or counselor at school. They can help you deal with this. I'm thinking you might not feel so depressed if the situation at home improved.
Is your dad a heavy alcohol drinker? If so, you may find Ala-teen helpful. Look it up in the phone book or call AA.

Answer 3

That is both physical and emotional abuse. I am so sorry you are going through this and it's no wonder you are feeling depressed. It may very well be depression but also can be hormones. Try to go see a doctor to get some support or a kids help phone, they could probably help more. You deserve to be happy.

Answer 4

I don't wonder that you are depressed about the way your father treats you. Go talk to a teacher or your councelor, or school Nurse. they will help you If you ask. you don't get any help from your family so do talk to someone at school. The abuse you suffer is criminal, and I think your mother is afraid of him too. Please talk to someone and start getting the help you need. You don't deserve being treated this way. You are too valuable for that

Answer 5

Thats messed up, dont take it personal but your Dad is a piece of sh*t! I had an uncle that was like that, he would always make fun of me, exclude me from all the fun things he would do with his son and my older brother, telling me I was too young or stupid. It hurt quite a bit and it seemed that when I went and told my Dad, he stood up for me big time. Almost kicked the crap out of my uncle. But still even afterwards there was always that feeling of awkwardness between my uncle and I.

So I never told again when my uncle started being a real jerk off to me again. Instead I just stayed away from him, and anytime he would find me to tease me so that he could get a rise out of me, I simply ignored him. Simply put, fu*k everyting that people say to you or about you if you dont agree with it. You are who you are, and nobody can ever fully understand who you are for that reason. Find some friends who you share a lot of interests with, and hang out with them as much as possible.

I found it best to simply let it ride, just wait until either he or I moved out. Then the best thing happened, he went to jail for numerous charges and was out of my life for 5 years. I was happy, but unless this happens to your Dad, I would say just let it ride out and wait until you can leave, then dont look back, you could always also go to a runaway house for kids. Ive never been to one, but usually they dont ask too many personal questions, they let you open up to them. That is probably your best option, just get away from him.

But keep living, dont give that prick the satsifaction that he beat you.

Answer 6

talk to an adult you trust or go and see the doctor good luck
