Question Posted Wednesday December 28 2005, 1:32 pm
Let me start here. Before my friend moved here, I didn't have any friends of any kind. My parents were constantly argueing and fighting. I would lock myself in my room for 3-4 hours at a time and turn off the lights and just sit there. Read a boring book or try to do something that would make me a little happier. I don't and didn't do any sports. So then I started wearing black clothes. Then I got into rock and punk music for some unknown reason. I would Cry for no reason untill this girl who is now my friend moved here. Me and her became good friends. We had alot in common. Now I found out that she's moving thousands of Mile's away. I don't want the same thing wrong with me. I can't make any new friends cause I can't trust anyone.. Please Help.

I'm almost like you i am 14 and i was a cutter that means use to cut myself ad i was in and out of the hospital. My best friend and i were close but i moved to another state, its hard to try and make new friends so you should a least give someone a chance try not to let them know you so well unless you learn to trust this person, then you could be happier but nothing is worth killing yourself trust me if you can.

I’m sorry but killing your self or trying to harm your self is not going to solve anything I don’t know if your religious or anything but i find that religion really helps with depression. If this isn’t the case with you id suggest you try to talk to your parents or if you have siblings. keeping emotions inside is not healthy, and even though this might sound easier said then done but you do have to open your self more and try talking more to people. I’m sure that’s how you met your friend before was by talking and opening up a little. Also if your to shy to make friends face to face then try making friends online be safe of course, make friends with people your own age and in your state maybe. this summer you could even join a camp or a club or something. I’m really sorry you feel this way your too young to feel so unhappy, my prayers are with you and I hope you feel better. [ syireen's advice column | Ask syireen A Question ]

Being depressed is normal, but to the eextent where you try killing yourself means you need to seek help. But remeber, God listens.

You're not into sports, and that's okay - not everybody is (myself included...unless bowling counts). You're obviously not old enough to work yet, but try joining a club of some type. I know it'll be awkward, but try give it a chance.
Also, by the looks of it, you're suffering from depression. The idea would be to see a doctor, but we all know that's easier said than done. I suggest calling a kid's help phone line.

You are only 13 years old and have already tried to kill yourself multiple times? You need some psyciatric help ASAP. You should make an appointment with your family doctor, tell him what you've just told us and he will refer you to a pychiatrist and hopefully she will prescribe the prober antideppressants.
I feel bad for you becuase I have suffered from depression of and on since I was about 16 years old. I didnt get treated until I was 19 but by then it was too late, I was SO depressed my first year of college that I ended up bombing out and ruining my GPA. If I hadnt have been so stubborn and stayed on my meds then maybe things would have worked out differently for me.
The good thing though is that you are still very young and now that we have recognized that you have this problem you can get treated and with the proper support and medication I'm sure can lead a normal life.
As for your problem with not having any friends I am positive that this has to do with your depression. It's very hard to attract people in your life when you feel so horrible about yourself. My prediction is that once you get treatment and the medication kicks in you will start to feel better and then hopefully you will have an easier time making and keeping good friends.
I hope this has helped you and PLEASE please please phone your doctor to make an appointment right away.
let me know if I have helped!!
