Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
OMG, you sound exactly like me, and i mean exatcly. Listen, start a journal or listen to music. Yeah i know what you mean i don't like counsulers because they don't understand what the hell you were going through, so anyway, if your like me and don't have any friends, then there's not much you can do. But you can realize everything. You can realize how stupppppid most people are and that they don't understand much things. listen e-mail me @
little_zelda05@yahoo.com
and tell me everything alright? THanks, i really wanna tell you okay? Oh and I'm Lisa

Rather than give you answers, I'm going to ask you a few more questions. Hopefully they'll help you come up with solutions yourself. Self-driven decisions and realisations are most effective, and are most likely to work.
First of all, why don't you want to see a counsellor? Have you heard bad things about them? Are you scared to talk about how you're feeling? Scared that they'll tell your mom and dad everything you say? There's nothing wrong with seeing a counsellor or therapist, and it doesn't mean you're crazy.
Second, what would running away solve? You'd still be stuck with the same thoughts and feelings, not to mention the added pressure of hiding and staying on the run. Not only that, but your friends and family would miss you and be worried sick.
Third--what gives you the right to decide if you need to take pills? I'm not trying to say it in a cruel manner, I'd simply like you to think about it. Do you have medical training? Have you take any psychiatric or medical courses? Are you familiar with the signs and diagnoses of Depression?
Finally, why, at 13, do you think you'll be miserable forever. I can sympathise, I really can. I've dealt with chronic depression (diagnosed) since I was very young. But life gets better. You've barely experienced it yet. I'm not the same person I was at thirteen, and nor, in seven years, will you be the same person.
I'm not trying to attack you. I'm trying to give you an outside perspective that isn't always easy to get. I hope you can take it for what it is, rather than thinking I don't care about you. I do, and that's why I feel compelled to ask the tough questions no one ever bothered to ask me until I was much older.

I went through this too, I didn't tell ANYBODY. & it was a hard thing to go through alone & once I started to realize all the good things in life, that I have & stuff, it got better & better. If I were you I would go to a counselor, its a hard thing you face alone, & you just don't want to go through it. You sound like you're just like me. Little things can quickly get me sad or angry. I get sad easily, because I have very low confidence in myself, & the minute someone doesn't act like how they usually do to me..I immediately think they don't like me. I realize now, that wasn't true at all & they were just going through some problems of their own. I've tried to commit suicide & run away, I think I only did that to get attention.. maybe thats all you want to? I have two brothers, & their both huge athletes, so my mom is constantly talking about them. Which really rained on my parade. I didn't think I was depressed that much either at the time, but now looking back.. I was badly. I needed help more then more easy. You know how you can take those quizzes or people post up signs of being depressed, I used to get all of those. I never realized how bad I truly was intill it ended. It probably stopped for me in like the summer. It started the summer before that. So it lasted a year. Even if it turns out you're okay.. well better safe then sorry.
I hope I helped. good luck =]

Honestly, I think you just need someone to talk and such as a counserlour like you said so I would try and talk to someone weather a teacher, school counserlor or a profesional. And I think over time just getting your emotions out you can fix this and feel and become a better person and i'm sure theres nothing wrong with you I know I go through the same thing sometimes. Don't worry you can get thorgh this.

You've obviously been feeling quite a mix of emotions lately. It's good that you've realized that something is wrong. That's the first step to getting better. Even if you aren't clinically depressed, you would be surprised how much it helps to talk to a counselor. I'm very good friends with the guidance counselor at my school. She does not judge you at all and has a lot of great things to say to help you become less confused and lead you back in the right direction. Your guidance counselor is probably just as great. They are all sworn to keep everything confidential, so your parents won't even know unless you want them to. I really recommend at least trying it once.
The only way for life to get better is to keep living it. Stay strong and things will get better. I promise.
If you need anyone to talk to, I'm online all the time. Let me know in your feedback if you want my screen name or e-mail.
