I'm Sam. I answer questions. Yay Sam.

Ok so, im 14 years young and ive recently been diagnosed with depression. Isort of saw it coming, but for some reason it came as a huge blow. ive felt different ever since, but at the same time, im relieved to know that my personality has a justification. I have a lack of energy and happiness, and lately not only do i REALLY dont care about anything, but i've become extremely suicidal. Yesterday all i could think about was death, i just DON'T see any point in living anymore. I'm become more afraid of myself, because I actually might committ suicide [I've tried it twice before]. In my mind I ask myself why I haven't done it. I know I need help, but people reminding me each day is making me feel like I deserve it even less. There's a lot more to my story, but I know well that people are sick and tired of listening to other's problems when they have their own to deal with. I don't feel that anyone cares anymore, as hard as they try to pretend. So, should I just do it already?? Thanx for reading
No, you shouldn't commit suicide. What you should do is talk to your doctor. When you were diagnosed, were you prescribed anything? Are you seeing a therapist? Maybe medication or therapy is what you need. Trust me, it can help.
Do i have A.D.D.? and can you help me solve my other problems?
my parents thought that i have A.D.D. because at times.. usually often, its hard for me to concentrate. like for homework, i have to be doing it for a while and then im in like "homework mode" but it usually takes an hour or two till im in that phase. i procastinate so much. this is why i do most of my homework in my bedroom so i cant get distracted by tv or the comp. i mean.. and i always procastinate my projects till the very last day.. like right now i have something due tomorrow and i've only done the prewrite packet.. now i have to write this whole thingie (rough draft) and the final copy and more is due next week but i havent even started that yet since im a lil behind. but i dont get it.. i never thought I had ADD till my parents mentioned it..cause in class sometimes a teacher would say something and.. i mean i'd hear what they'd said but its kinda like the words escape from my head and then like a minute later i ask a question about something they already said. i hate that and i try to pay attention but i guess i have alot of things on my mind too.. i mean songs always get stuck in my head, or i may just be thinking about things that happened that day or something. that happens during tests too, sometimes. i mean i also procastinate for tests.. its real annoying because im usually an A/B student but thats been dropping to like a B/C student since like the 2nd marking period. im so pissed because i want to do good in school. but not only that things we learn are getting harder.. but.. i dunno. i mean once on a test like right before i had a big fight with my sorta x-friend and i was really upset and mad about that.. and i ended up getting like a 46 on a MATH test! thats like my easiest subject! and i told my teacher i could do better and corrected it and got all the corrections right. the next test we had we got a 100 though, thank god. and recently we had a quiz and i got a 72 (math) and in social studies i've gotten 2 very very low grades (20 and a 25.. i have to get them signed by my parents today! ohgod!!!!!!!!!!!! im gonna be toast!!!). im thinking of just throwing out the tests and saying that i lost them. but that probably wont work. i mean also cause im like extremely disorganized. i've never followed a schedule like 100% all the way though i do make schedules sometimes. i read while i eat.. my dad says its bad to do that but i honestly dont have any time to read, since i like doing it. no i dont have dyslexia or any reading problems either. and im not someone whos like "hey.. what was the mark homewo- OMG ITS A LIMO! DID YOU SEE THAT LIMO THERE!" i mean sometimes i guess if im excited and its like a new place ive never seen before. but not that much i think. i dont have hearing problems and my math teacher thought that was my problem but its not.. i've passed all the tests before and i have no problem hearing, just retaining knowledge presently. i can remember stuff from a long time ago but i may forget like idk.. a friend's name or something. and when i talk to people, sometimes it doesnt completely register with my brain and i have to ask them to repeat what they said like 2-3 times. sometimes people dont wanna repeat and i have to just act like i'd heard but its also kinda annoying when they're like "nevermind" because i honestly.. like.. i dunno! i heard it.. but i kinda didnt hear it in a way. WHATS WRONG WITH ME??????????

You may have ADD or some other disorder, or you may just have a short attention span. Only a doctor can tell you for sure, and only a doctor can help you figure out to fix whatever the problem may be.
So, my friend confessed she has been making herself throw up because she cares a lot about what other people think and it makes her feel better. I know a lot about it, I told her it's damaging. she says she's gonna try to stop, but I doubt she will. I just don't really know what to do. I know I can't really tell anyone- her parents would not understand, neither would mind. and I can't really tell any adult, cause I know she wont seek help or anything. What can I do for her personally?
Well unless you're planning on staying by her side 24/7 and monitoring everything she puts in her mouth and everything that comes out of it, there's not much you can do except let her know that you're there for her, and try to get her to understand that there's other options. Personally though, I would seek adult help. Otherwise, she may never stop, and think of how you would feel if something happened to her because you wouldn't speak up.
i dont want to make my mom upset because i am. My family is moving in 2 weeks, i tell my mom im alright with it because i dont want to seem over whelemed(sp). but i know my feelings will come out sooner or later. i find myself almost crying on the smallest sad or happy things. i dont know whats wrong with me. i really dont want to leave all my friends, im really about to cry. wat do i do?
Chances are, you're moving whether you like it or not. Of course it's ok to be upset, but trust me you will make new friends. And just because you're moving dosen't mean you can't keep in touch with your old ones. You may want to talk o your mom about how you're feeling though. I'm sure that she'll understand, and talking things over may make you feel better.
