depression
I'm 13/f, and I've been really sad lately. I'm in 8th grade, and for a while I had a lot of excitement in my life; I had my bat mitzvah during the summer, and I've been feeling that my life has been dull. I had been sad about my friends and guys, sad in general, especially at night. One night, I got so sad I cut myself...
I'm feeling depressed and I don't know what to do:(
-what do i do?-

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
I have went through the same thing for 3 months straight. I felt i wasnt needed, and all this. But I talked to my mom and she sent me to the therapist. That helped for me but may not for some people. I just suggest you talk to someone you love and trust. They will help you out i know it. And about the cutting thing, its not the answer but i shouldnt be talkin when i do it myself but if your not addicted to it yet then just stop. It isnt going to help you in the long run if you cut. But even if you are addicted talk to someone like i said before and get help. I know, 13 year olds shouldnt be goin throught this but unfourtunally we do so I am here for you if need help any time.
~Hope this helps*Stephanie

dear depressed
take my word 4 it when i say dont cut. that is serious business. dont ever do that again. everyone gets sad at times in their life. its completely natural. being sad about guys is not worth the trouble. guys are idiots at this age. ur friends will always be there 4 u. if u feel that bad, then find a friend that u trust and go 2 them. tell them how bad it is. they will comfort u 100%. hope i helped ya!

hun take it from someone who knows, there is no age to young for anything now a days (except sex), you're at a rough age in any childs life and there's a good chance that there may not be a good reason for you being depressed, you may be manic depressive (bi-polar), that's where you have extreme highs and lows in your moods for no reason at all. talk to your MOM, it's complicated for a girl to talk to her dad about anything that has to do with growing up, (it's a guy thing so don't feel bad about it) tell your mom how you're feeling and that you don't know why you feel this way, and don't listen to what that one person said, you can be sad for no reason. there's a chance that you might have a severe chemical imbalance which is causing this, and if you feel that you can't talk to your mom then you might want to just make an appointment with a doctor yourself and have a friends mom take you, i'm sorry this is so long but i'm going through the same thing right now, now lets get to the cutting, you said that it was only once which is good, don't do that please. that's no way to slove anything, all it's going to do is relieve the pain for a min. it's like a drug, the high only lasts for so long then you've still got the pain inside, but now you've also got a reminder on your arm, leg, ect. of how you're feeling. i can't wear shorts anymore because of all the scars on my legs, it's something that i'm not proud of but if you know that there are more people out there that you can talk to then it might help you out a little, get at my on my AIM if you need anymore help (sexishanibabe08)

honey, it's just hormones - blame puberty - but still feeling blue isn't any excuse to hurt yourself. Talk to someone, any adult that you trust - write, read, turn your music up full blast and sing/dance along. You are so young - just do something to release the stress...(obviously other than drugs, alcohol or anything else that's harmful to yourself)
Also - guys and friends are not the be all and end all in life - sometimes it's better just to take care of yourself and make time for yourself to do something that YOU like doing.

Have you got someone around you could talk to? A friend or relative that you trust? It's better to deal with these things right now before they turn into even bigger problems. Good luck.

If you are feeling depressed, get help from an adult you trust. Talk to your friends, and family about your depression.

It doesn't sound like u have a major problem that's causing you to be depressed... you just have a lotta of lil problems rather than one or two huge ones... u should go see a therapist... or you may have been depressed to begin with... & that's what's causing you to have problems... (depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain) either way u should go see a therapist... your school should have one...

If you are starting to cut I suggest you find another sort of release. Start to write even if you can't; Paint even if you can't. Or just go in the back yard or whatever and scream your head off.
Life does go throug its ups and downs ands some of the downs seem like they will never end but trust me they do. You just have to find things worth living for. Even the unimportant things. Like waking up to a bird song or being able to diss your sucky teachers...whatever the reason there is plenty of them live.

Try going to a doctor =)

I just had my bat mitzvah a few months ago, it was a blast. one of my friends wanted to commit suicide. It totally freaked all of her friends out, me included. She needed some help and finally came forward and talked about it with the school counselor. That helped her alot. Maybe you should try it too, if you don't want to try talking to a trusted adult, sibling, or friend(that includes boyfriend if you have a good one, and I mean good!!)

My friend recently had her bat mitzvah too. Sad in general isn't very specific, it would have helped more if you had said why. i mean boy trouble, friend trouble they are so different. I have had plenty of problems involving both. I fyou are so dpressed that you are cutting yourself you need to talk to a groen up you trust. i was thinking about commiting suicide, i talked to a school counselor about it and things are getting better slowly. Sometimes it just helps to get your problems off your chest.
