sit down and talk with your parents.. THERE IS A PROBLEM.. and they really need to realize that.. tell them why you are depressed!! tell them that they NEED to get your meds, if they don't u could get to the point of comitting suicide, now how would they feel if you actually killed yourself!?? and please dont get to that point even tho they still might not take this problem seriously.

if that is the case (they still dont admitt theres a problem) you should go to your school counclier or doctor.. and they can refer you to a family counclier and u can take it from there! <3 good luck hun!

well i was just like you depressed and didnt know what to do with life or how to live it if your parents dont want to help you do it your self go to a counciler and see if they can help. It also helps to have great friends that will stand behind you no matter what. one thing you need to remember is to do things for yourself and dont worry about what others think while you are doin it

good luck , currlie

ok you need to go to someone for help before something bad happens. go to a counselor or a doctor and tell them the same thing u have just told everyone else. U NEED THE PRESCRIPTION! even if your parents wont admit to the problem, you need to find a different way to help yourself. please PLEASE get help soon! good luck im here if u need me

if your parents won't admit there is a problem you can alwayz go to a school consolar or an adult you trust or a best friends sister or brother because cutting is a problem and it needs help

You're not as helpless as you think. Talk to an adult you trust- a teacher, a relative, talk to anyone who will listen until you get the help you need. The fact that you realize that you have a problem and are trying to get help already shows that you will make it.

LilMia811 answered Tuesday June 15 2004, 7:03 pm:
it seems to me like you really need help. If you're parents don't want to help you, than you have to take matters into your own hands. Talk to a school councelor and tell them you want to go smoewhere because you really need help. Or have a friend who is concerned or yourself call one of those help lines. You can even do what I did. I called the cops on myself, and told them I needed someone to come get me because I needed help, and if someone doesn't do something than I am going to hurt myself. I did this so that they knew I was serious. The cops came to my home and 302ed me to a youth crisis clinic where I got alot of help. Hope I am helpful. good luck! :)

babyeyes answered Tuesday June 15 2004, 6:05 pm:
I have been in your situation. First of all find things to do instead of cutting. I know a methode that works really well.... Take a rubberband ( a thick one) put it around your wrist and when you feel like cutting snap the rubberband really hard. It will keep you from cutting yourself. Make your parents understand write them a note or something. If thse methods don't work you can contact me at any time.... you can write to me at babyeyes@2die4.com... I can give you hotlines to call or I can send you a perscription for welbuteral its what i took it helps a lot

I understand what your going through, recently I had the same thoughts and addictions, however, my friends mother talked with me and my mother and we both went to theropy. I am now diagnosed as manic depressive, and the medication helps alot. I know it's hard for you at the moment, it seems everything is stuck if fast forward mode, and everything is worth nothing in the end, but there is a reward in the end, you just have to decide what it is going to be. Try talking to a friend, or a friends mother. I hope I have helped you some.

adviceforteens answered Tuesday June 15 2004, 12:43 pm:
Try to ignore the thoughts. I know what you are going through i have suicidal thoughts sometimes too. If your parents are refusing to get your perscriptions then you need to call someone to get that medication whether it be a grandparent or maybe a trustworthy neighbor. If that still doesnt help you can drive so maybe you need to go to the hospital and speak with a counselor. I hope i helped

go to a consiler(sp?) at school and tell her/him you are hvaing these problems so you can get help..if youre parents dont give you what you need see if another adult can talk to them or even take you to a docter and get you the pills/things you need

blonde answered Tuesday June 15 2004, 11:25 am:
I am sorry that you are so depressed that you think about killing yourself. I go to school with a kid who went through the same thing. His grandmother was an alcoholic who made his life a living hell! His mom did nothing about it because her husband left when she was pregnant with him and she is trying to work so she can raise him and his grandmother. His mother later put him in a mental hospital,which was bad but good. I don't think he needed to be in a mental hospital, but the couslors were good for him. I would suggest going and talking to a couslor or someone else with a degree in that area. Good luck and please don't kill or hurt yourself!
