kay well i've asked questions on here before
*previous* http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=418941
* and this is kinda long but plesae and thank you for your time*
well im only 14 and like i've heard people say b4 there is no way you are depressed! well i am! at school i hide it! i smile i laugh i do whatever not to make myself upset!!* my friends have no idea what i go through and have gone through* most of them think im some happy teen whos life is pretty good** anywayssss
the teacher i talk to about this(call him coach)well i no he cares but you know how when you talk to someone about something and you know that there probably gettin annoyed by it! well thats how i feel sometimes when i talk to him! he says he doesnt and that he wants to help! okay well my main question or w.e well just recently i've been thinkin about suiced..I DONT THINK I EVER WOULD but im always upset when im not around people and i used to cut myself! i wanna tell coach but i dont want him thinking im a freak or a loser or i have some serious MENTEL ISSUES! i promise that i would never go as far as killin myself but i think about it alot! i might cut myself again but i dono sooo should i tell him or should i just keep it to myself or what??
Tell him. From what you've said so far it sounds like he understands how depression works. He won't think you're crazy. Depression is a chemical imbalance, not a mental problem. If you have other people you can ask for help, do it. A friend, a parent, a school counselor. I know sometimes it feels ridiculous to be asking for help when "technically" nothing should be wrong. It's not ridiculous. I have the most amazing life and a month ago I was in a similiar position to you (thinking about suicide but thinking i wouldn't do it, cutting). Even then I lied to my therapist about cutting and suicidal thoughts because I didn't want to be a burden. Trust me, keeping those thoughts to yourself leads to nowhere good. Hang in there, and write me if you ever want to vent, cry, ask for help; i won't judge you.
