Question Posted Sunday July 1 2007, 11:40 am

for a year now.. i have felt nothing but hurt and sadness.. i have physically hurt myself and i have had many paniac attacks. nothing is helping. i need help i know but my mother says there is nothing wrong. i feel though that there is something wrong.. i think of death a lot and i think of hurting myself a lot, my friends always pick me up and tell me to stop being depressed but whenever we go out lately i've been in a bad mood. i don't know what to do. i'm scared one day i'm going to be so mad and depressed that i'm going to take my life away. HELP ME!

i understand what youre going through. what you need to do is find things in life that bring you joy. do you like to paint? then do that as often as you can. if you like to swim, go swimming as often as possible. watch movies that make you laugh. read books that make you feel good. when you do things that make you happy, you are going to be happy, its simple as that. find something you love to do, and you will enjoy life while you are doing it. if you cant find any friends at your school, look other places. try signing up for a club or a sport not at your school. that way you will be meeting new people who have the same interests as you. you want friends who will appreciate you for who you are, and value you as a person. you need people who will be there for you and support you. i dont know if you are a christian or not. im not going to try to change your mind. but i will offer some encouraging lyrics from a song called "me and jesus" by stellar kart. "someone loves you, even when you dont think so, dont you know youve got me and jesus, by your side through the fight, you will never be alone, on your own, youve got me and jesus" whether you believe in jesus or not, he is always there for you and he loves you. dont give up. you are here for a reason. it isnt a mistake that you are here. you have a purpose. dont risk losing the chance to find out what you can do for the world. if you ever need someone to talk to you can email me at viciousxpunk@yahoo.com remember, you matter and you are here for a reason.

Suicide never solves anything believe me. It's an awful price to pay for a medical problem that is easily solved. What you have here is a psychiatric issue (most likely clincical depression) and its a mental illness issue.

Your mother may not be able to see the changes in you that are evident with this problem and may be shrugging things off thinking teens are always flipping back and forth with moods. This issue could also be signs of a mood disorder too. I have one so I know.

If you wind up feeling high all the time, too energetic, unable to sleep, depressed one minute and not you have a problem especially if it gets to the stage where you are delusional or having trouble grasping reality. The fact you mentioned suicide means you have a big time problem that needs to be looked at or it will get worse.

Here's what to do document all these feelings including the very dark ones, thoughts of death etc and go to an adult other than your parents that you trust and ask for medical help and to see a psychiatrist as your mom won't listen to what is a very real problem.

You should talk to your teachers in confidence about this and have them confront your parents and get you help. You can also talk to guidance counselors, your friend's parents, aunts, uncles etc.

The other thing you could do is just walk into your doctor's office or a walk-in clinic and tell them what you are dealing with and that you need help but your parents don't believe you have a problem.

It's important you get treatment. Mental health issues such as this one are considered to be emergencies. You can take public transit or find a way to get to a hospital emergency room on your own and they'll have a psychiatrist assess you and start treatment on medications etc. If they feel you are of harm to yourself they can hospitalize you also.

You need to tell more people about your situation until someone does the right thing and gets you help or take the situation in your own hands and get to health care professionals on your own.

well if you're really having thoughts like that then you should talk to your mom and tell her you want to go see a conselor since you think there's something wrong with you and youre mom wont listen. she probably doesnt understand, so definitely if you think that way and think theres something wrong then get help asap.
