Hi I'm a 27 year old female from British Columbia, Canada. I work in retail as a sales assoicate. I have an above average intelligence about relationships and mental health issues and love giving advice to those in need. My parents bitterly divorced when I was 13 and through this I learned a lot about relationships. I've also lived through a severe depression and mental breakdown in my early twenties, so I know a lot about mental health. If anyone has a question for me about either of these topics I would be glad to answer as best to my abililty. I would just like to add how much joy this site had brought to my life. I truly believe that by helping others you help yourself.

Let me start here. Before my friend moved here, I didn't have any friends of any kind. My parents were constantly argueing and fighting. I would lock myself in my room for 3-4 hours at a time and turn off the lights and just sit there. Read a boring book or try to do something that would make me a little happier. I don't and didn't do any sports. So then I started wearing black clothes. Then I got into rock and punk music for some unknown reason. I would Cry for no reason untill this girl who is now my friend moved here. Me and her became good friends. We had alot in common. Now I found out that she's moving thousands of Mile's away. I don't want the same thing wrong with me. I can't make any new friends cause I can't trust anyone.. Please Help. (link)

After you added the additional info, I immediately knew you were suffering from severe depression. You are only 13 years old and have already tried to kill yourself multiple times? You need some psyciatric help ASAP. You should make an appointment with your family doctor, tell him what you've just told us and he will refer you to a pychiatrist and hopefully she will prescribe the prober antideppressants.
I feel bad for you becuase I have suffered from depression of and on since I was about 16 years old. I didnt get treated until I was 19 but by then it was too late, I was SO depressed my first year of college that I ended up bombing out and ruining my GPA. If I hadnt have been so stubborn and stayed on my meds then maybe things would have worked out differently for me.
The good thing though is that you are still very young and now that we have recognized that you have this problem you can get treated and with the proper support and medication I'm sure can lead a normal life.
As for your problem with not having any friends I am positive that this has to do with your depression. It's very hard to attract people in your life when you feel so horrible about yourself. My prediction is that once you get treatment and the medication kicks in you will start to feel better and then hopefully you will have an easier time making and keeping good friends.
I hope this has helped you and PLEASE please please phone your doctor to make an appointment right away.
let me know if I have helped!!
thankyou
