I don't get it, i'm constantly sad/depressed, but my social life and stuff is great. I dont see what the problem could be.
I can't even sleep properly lately, and I'm only eating as much as an 8 year-old, though i'm 15.....
I think about suicide a lot, and my friends arn't really helping.I dont know who i can talk to, or rather, what i'm even supposed to say. I'm not good with my parents, either. I tried keeping a diary, but it doesn't really help.
Even when i "think happy thoughts" i feel sad/ depressed. I've been feeling like this for a few months now, and i've started cutting myself, too.
Whats wrong with me?!

are you sure theres nothing subconsiously making you sad? has anything happened in your life recently? even if if didnt seem like a big deal it might be if something happened and you pushed it aside. This is probably one of the most confusing feelings around, ive been so happy during the days, and then for no reason at all just a second later ill be miserable, its tough to understand why u feel thid way, but belive me there IS a reason, it just may take a while to discover. Try talking to a good friend/possibly counceller (i recommend friend though) and talk to them, and if u cant find a friend try to just find someone who wont judge you. i really hope u can fix this because belive me i know its a horrible feeling. i hope ive helped in some way

You have a classic case of depression. It's nothing to be ashamed about - many, many people have this. It runs in families actually.
The only real way that you will get better is if you go to a medical doctor. A psychiatrist or a psychologist is fine, but you really need to discuss this with your family doctor first because he or she knows you and your medical history and can prescribe the right thing for you.
Do not be afraid to take medicine for this - it is a medical condition, not a mental breakdown! I wish someone had told me this a long time ago when I was depressed. I thought I was going crazy. I suffered for an entire year before I found out that my condition was a medical problem, not mental!!!
Get going and good luck - you will be feeling like your old self again very soon!

Wow. I'm so sorry. Maybe someone around you is depressed and it may be rubbing off on you. Maybe you want change in your social life, for example (i don't know if you really do this) Every saturday night you and your friends go do the same exact thing. It may be getting boring to you and the only thing you can think about is doing something else.
Maybe your friends can't help you with the suicide thing, because they don't know what to do or say. Try opening up to them more and tell them you need them more than ever now.
You can't make your self think ''happy thoughts''. For example if I told you to think about anything but the color red what would you think about? The color red am I right. It's just the way the human mind works.
I had an 12 year old friend who cut her self. Do you know how I made her stop? 1. I told her there are so many people in her life who love and care about her, who don't want her hurt. 2. I cut myself. When she saw that I really did care about her and I would even hurt myself for her she stopped. I havn't made her start eating again though.
Maybe you should see a shrink or get some anti-depressents.(even though they don't work)
You need to have fun. Plan an unexpected trip with your friends. Prank call people with them. Talk about guys you think are cute. People watch. (That is alot of fun. :)) What you need right now is a good laugh.
Think about how many people in your life love you. Think about all the things you would miss in your life if it ended. Think about all the sick people that are dyeing right now and would love to have your life. So, please don't throw it away. I don't even knnow you and I care about you. If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to email or IM me anytime.
~hope i have helped you. Live life to it's fullest and don't forget to laugh once in a while. Laughter is life's best medicine! Guess what I'm only 13 and I have gone through some messed up s***. You're not alone. Best wishes~

What is school like? School is highly important to finish so I hope you are doing well in your studies.
On the other hand, you sound like you aren't really enjoying life to the fullest. Have you ever heard of live every day as if it were your last?
Try to remember that you've only got one shot at living to make a difference in the world and be someone. Find things to do that you are interested in, that make you feel like a million dollars. Hang with people that make you laugh, because laughter is the best medicine.
You have to want something bad like a burning in your heart, and once you know what you want, anything is possible. SMILE and go get a good laugh, thats what I do when I feel like crap!
Quit hurting yourself. Suicide is a selfish ignorant thing to do. Your family and friends hurt WAY more than you when you hurt yourself. Its wrong and no one should ever take that way out. It may seem easy and quick and everything will be better after that..wrong. Anything worth fighting for isn't going to be easy. Get some motivation going and shoot for the moon!

Hello!! Sounds like you may be depressed. My son went thru something similar to this and we started seeing a counselor and just being able to be honest with someone helped him a lot. You are going through a lot of changes being a teenager isn't as easy as everyone thinks. Have you had a check up lately?? This could even be a hormone problem. As for the cutting yourself, you did need to get help with that. You say your not good with your parents but you can seek help with one of your best friends parents or your school counselor might even be able to help you. As for the suicide, trust me that isn't the answer. I have tried that myself more than once and it just isn't worth the outcome. Most of the time suicide isn't really you wanting to die it's you wanting someone to say "I hear you" or " I want to help you" Please seek help for this! You are too young and have a long life ahead of you to be this sad. GOOD LUCK and remember God is always listening so talk to him about all this. You can be honest with him. LOVE YOU DEAR!!!!

I agree. Even if you can't talk to your parents about much, you can ask them to take you to the family doctor. You can tell the dr. what you told us and he can refer you to a shrink.
There are also support groups online. Check out the NAMI website, www.nami.org. There is a hotline to call. Or check out http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/. You'll have support until you can get to the doctor and get some relief. It's nice to know you're not alone.
The change in eating and sleeping combined with the sadness really sounds like depression to me. There are plenty of good meds out there. You shouldn't have to suffer.

You are suffering from clinical depression. Get yourself to a mental health specialist, as the Yahoo! Answers community is not equipped to dole out actual medical advice. See if you can maybe get on some anti-depressants, OK?

Depression.
See your family doctor about it, as s/he can help by giving meds or referring you. Either way, you'll get some help.
Don't suffer alone.
