The fact is, most people who actually realize that they may be depressed or have emotional problems aren't. So I doubt that you are. I know what it feels like to have everything go wrong, and not want to even turn to your friends for help/support. But don't worry. No matter how bad things may be, there are many people in the world who have it worse. I know that that doesn't help, but the point I'm trying to make is that you should be happy for what you do have, and not dwell on the bad things that have happened. I've also thought about if I myself had some sort of emotional problems, because I have these mood swings and have cried a lot over problems. But I don't think I do. Like I said earlier, if you actually think and ask yourself if you have problems, you probably don't. At least, not serious ones anyway(like hormones and stuff).
One thing that helps me a lot is listening to music. Good music, about happy things. Of course, I also listen to somewhat sad ones, but don't listen to songs with intense and depressing lyrics- it just makes you feel worse. As for cutting your wrists; just don't. I never have and never want to, in my opinion it's stupid. Why inflict pain on yourself? That's the worse thing you can do for your family, friends, and you. Please PLEASE don't. Punch a pillow instead.
Thirteen, is a bit of a young age to carry such an amount of stress, and I suggest you change your lifestyle. Try to do relaxing things, and just let go of it all. Keeping everything inside, just to let it build up for when you get older is not healthy. I stress out a lot too and I'm sixteen. One thing I've learned is that you can't take in everyone's problems, just try and stay out of it. It's hard not to be affected by it, but it's for your own good. Even if you are affected by it, don't let it show too much, it could cause stress to others. So I really hope that you listen to what I said.
I have to admit that I'm still pretty stressy, but the difference is I'm changing that now. Do you stay awake for a long time in bed before you actually sleep? Don't keep things inside too much, and you'll see that you'll get a lot more rest and feel better. I hope everything works out, and I'm sure it will!
Please just ask me any more questions if you feel the need to talk or anything.
