The fact is, most people who actually realize that they may be depressed or have emotional problems aren't. So I doubt that you are. I know what it feels like to have everything go wrong, and not want to even turn to your friends for help/support. But don't worry. No matter how bad things may be, there are many people in the world who have it worse. I know that that doesn't help, but the point I'm trying to make is that you should be happy for what you do have, and not dwell on the bad things that have happened. I've also thought about if I myself had some sort of emotional problems, because I have these mood swings and have cried a lot over problems. But I don't think I do. Like I said earlier, if you actually think and ask yourself if you have problems, you probably don't. At least, not serious ones anyway(like hormones and stuff).
One thing that helps me a lot is listening to music. Good music, about happy things. Of course, I also listen to somewhat sad ones, but don't listen to songs with intense and depressing lyrics- it just makes you feel worse. As for cutting your wrists; just don't. I never have and never want to, in my opinion it's stupid. Why inflict pain on yourself? That's the worse thing you can do for your family, friends, and you. Please PLEASE don't. Punch a pillow instead.
Thirteen, is a bit of a young age to carry such an amount of stress, and I suggest you change your lifestyle. Try to do relaxing things, and just let go of it all. Keeping everything inside, just to let it build up for when you get older is not healthy. I stress out a lot too and I'm sixteen. One thing I've learned is that you can't take in everyone's problems, just try and stay out of it. It's hard not to be affected by it, but it's for your own good. Even if you are affected by it, don't let it show too much, it could cause stress to others. So I really hope that you listen to what I said.
I have to admit that I'm still pretty stressy, but the difference is I'm changing that now. Do you stay awake for a long time in bed before you actually sleep? Don't keep things inside too much, and you'll see that you'll get a lot more rest and feel better. I hope everything works out, and I'm sure it will!
Please just ask me any more questions if you feel the need to talk or anything.

Well, it could be because of hormones, they really kick in at this age, as you probably have heard.
Just, please, please, please, don't hurt yourself. It helps with nothing, and it may seem like it does at the time, because it relives stress, but then the stress just comes right back, because cutting is not a permenant, but temporary stress reliever. Then, cutting causes even more issues with friends and family.
If you feel the need to do this, just snap your wrist with a rubberband, draw on your wrist with a marker, or exercise ((you'll feel the burn and it relieves stress))
The best way to not stress your family//friends out, is to not do anything to stres them out. Don't concentrate on the sad thoughts, because that will just make youf eel sorry for yourself. Concentrate on being happy, and let your friend be there fory ou, it will make youf eel alott better!!
Good luck, and write//email me if you need something!

You have to have hope for tomorrow and know that depression is only going to make your grades at school be low.If youre grades are low you wont be able to have a great future.What do you want to be when you grow up?To get to that you have to have straight A's and a college degree.Imagine,being rich and successful in a couple of years.The future is in YOUR hands now and if you want it to NOT be like your nowaday life,you have to have an aim in life and focus on y our studys.Anyway,its very normal to have moodswings and stuff like that at your age.You hormones are changing making things worse.I think that nomatter what problems your familys going through that you should open up to your mom about this,shes YOUR MOM and HAS to listen.PLEASE for ONCE think before you cut yourself.ITll get you scars,not just on your skin but will scar your life when you get older and look at it,youll get depressed AGAIN.It will also get you skin disease.Now why the hell do that to yourself?It wont even make you feel any better!What are you pushing your best freind into doing?Dont push her into cutting herself or youd be a really bad freind.So,open up to your mom,think about your future and how BRIGHT its going to be,bare in mind that your also going through mood swings and youll be fine!
