Possible Depression?
I'm a 14 female. I use to cut myself badly but stopped in the beginning of Jan. I haven't cut since. Every day i think about sucide. the people i'd hurt. those i wouldnt. my moods always tend to be shitty. I'm not sure if thats cause im 14 and a brat or if im possible depressed. I'm usually okay in school, in front of my peers. once i get home i feel completely lost. I've attempted sucide once, failed, obiviously. but i've never had a docter examine me. my parents do not believe in giving teens depression medicine. my parents and i have talked about the possible depression. i asked to see a Shrink. My parents agreed. That was 2 months ago. it has not been brought up agian. my parents this my cutting was their fault, when in fact their the reason i hadnt pushed the razor harder. i constanly take 10-20 advil at a time. u cant OD on it. im not sure why. i've read the symptoms of depression and i match quiet a few. how can i figure out if i do have a mental problem or if im a typical teen?
thank you...

Well cutting definately isn't normal but it's good that you stopped and i'm proud of you for that. If your parents agreed to let you see a shrink then they need to follow through. Explain to them that you don't want to hurt anybody including them and yourself. Bring it up until they take you or call the place yourself. You need to find out what it really is. I hope you are ok. :)

you might think that you have mental problems sometimes and then sometimes think that everyone does this and i'm just a typical teenager. Well let me tell you something, if you are a typical teenager then that would mean that everyother typical teenager tries to commit suicide and that if all of them did where would all the teens be. This is why i think that you might be suffering from not really mental problem but depression. I personally don't understand how someone can diognos depression but i'm not a doctor either. You might want to confront your parents again about getting help. They may not understand the whole story so tell them everything. You need help, or else who knows what could happen tomorrow.

I think that if you have cut yourself in the past, and have attempted suicide, you probably suffer from clinical depression. (But I'm not a doctor.) Don't think that there is "something wrong with you." Depression is a becoming a fairly common problem. However, though it might be common, it still needs to be addressed.
I suggest you try to talk to your parents again. It sounds to me like they don't know the whole story, and really...they should. I can understand that they might be thinking that this is just a case of the teen blues, but let them know about everything that has been going on in your mind. I don't think they want to deny that anything is wrong, they maybe just don't want to acknowledge that you are hurting because they love you and don't want to think that their child is hurt.
Hopefully, you will get the help that you need from your parents. If for some reason you don't, try talking to your school counselor. They might be able to help you themselves, and if not, they can at least talk to your parents and express their concern.

It's not that you have a mental problem. And really, if you look at statistics, they'd show that you are a typical 14 year old female. Yes, I was in the same position, attempting suicide, cutting and all that junk but I couldn't take what I was doing to myself anymore. Not only was I hurting myself, but I was hurting others around me. Talk to your parents again to see if you could continue seeing a psycologist. Seeing one helped me so much and I'm happier than I've ever been in my entire life! Another thing you should try doing is to channel your energy onto something else. What do you enjoy doing? Try doing that more often. If there's a hobbie you'd be interested in try picking up that. I love to draw and play my guitar. That's like my own therapy for me, because it gets out all of my emotions by doing something you love. Talk to your parents, tell them that you don't like feeling this way and you don't understand why you do. They should understand.

i dont think you have mental problems i think there may be some family or friends problems..its not my buisness but i highly suggest you see a doctor...even though your parents may not like depressent medicine its the best thing and you really need to see a doctor..or it could cost you your life...think about it.
Good Luck
