She doesn't believe it's depression.
I think I have depression, I've got almost all the symptoms on this website, and I've felt like this for about 5 months. I don't know how to tell my mum; she's so old fashioned and she thinks that young people can't get depression, and I'm 14 so she won't believe me. I started crying this morning for a stupid reason but I was feeling depressed, and she just said, "oh, here we go." She won't believe me if I tell her. I don't know who to tell, my friends are immature and won't understand - or they'll laugh about it, 'cos I'm good at hiding how I feel and I smile when I'm feeling bad so no-one notices. I can't make a doctors appointment myself, and I don't know how to get a counsellor, and anyway I also think I've got social anxiety so I wouldn't be able to say anything for them to help. How can I get rid of this depression because lately I've been considering suicide and looking on the net for ways to go about it. Thanks xo

Go to your school counselor and tell her what you just told us. She can officially diagnose you and refer you to a mental health doctor.

you have toi tell youre mom and if she dont belive her then tell her to look at the symptoms you have i have been diagnosed with depression and its not a fun thing to have so i no how you feel but youre mom has to get you help before you do something you have to tell her

Try talking to a guidance councelor at school or a school physchologist, if your mom won't get you help. Don't look on the net to find ways to kill yourself, that will make you feel worse. Okay, about your mom tell her that you really want help, and if she doesn't help your going to find a way to do so,maybe then she'll take u serios and get you help. I hope I helped..Keep me informed Itsallkaitlyn

Would you be able to tell your dad? If you can't.. MAKE your mom believe you. And then make her get you medicine. You could also see the school guidance counselor - I know it sounds stupid, but if your mom won't believe you, thats pretty much your only choice. I have social anxiety and I am bi-polar so I know what you're talking about with the sucide and the not being able to talk.. but you have to. You're crossing a line where your choices may end up being talking or dying. It CAN get better.. and it will. Trust me. Just don't go the suicide way, because they WILL commit you to a mental hospital. Trust me.

Here are the people you can talk to: A school guidance counselor, a school nurse or psychologist, a teacher, an aunt, a confidential and free helpline (do a search on google).
Ultimately, you do need to see a doctor. It can be hard to deal with a parent who refuses to see what's in front of her face, but the reality is that many teenagers suffer from depression and related illnesses. A professional is the only person who can help you, either by offering medication, a referral to a counselor, etc.
Ask your mother to make you a doctor's appointment. You need only say you've been feeling poorly lately and want to talk to a doctor. If she refuses, you can call the doctor yourself and see if you can have an appointment. If all these options fail, there are people in your school who are there to help you deal with these problems - and your mother's attitude to them.
Suicide isn't an answer. Committing suicide only means that you never get the chance to work through your problems. It does sound as if you are suffering from poor mental health - remember that when you feel like harming yourself. You need professional health.
Take some of that energy you've got searching online about suicide and search for a way to tell people close to you how you are feeling. If you tell your mother you are considering suicide, she will definitely make you an appointment with a doctor - there's nothing to feel embarassed about, so just be honest.
Best of luck.

go to your school consulor. She'll totally help u!

First off, be careful about diagnosing yourself. To really know if you have depression you should see a doctor.
Most schools have guidance counselors that are always available to help you. If your school doesn't have any counselors you could go see an administrator. If you feel you can't talk to anyone at your school you should talk to a family member since you feel that your friends aren't mature enough to talk to.
Another idea could be to call the National Hopeline Network. They have counselors to speak with and it's completely anonymous. The number is 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433)
Suicide is never a good answer. Don't end your life when you're so young because you'll never know how wonderful your life could turn out to be in the future. I wish you the very best. stay strong!
