pshyco?
My parents snooped through my stuff. they said that i hadnt been acting myself, and yes, i wasnt. i was really depressed and i had written some suicide letters. well... they found them.
they took me to the hospital for a mental health evaluation and now i have to go to a cousler. I dont tell my parents anything so why would they expect me to tell a total stranger whats going on in my life? I dont know whether i should open up. or if I should just keep my business to myself. Any adive on coping with depression would be nice. and answeing my question is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If your dealing with depressing and wont talk to your parents or a counsler I think you need to talk to your friends. Belive it or not friends may you know you better than you think. Just open up to them and if there you true friends they wont judge you. If you really having problems with this depression thing you really need to talk to someone who knows you and understands you.

When I went to counselling, I didn't know what to say, but I found that telling this complete stranger about what went on in my life, so that he could understnad more about me. If they don't know the person whom they're talking to, they won't be able to help.
For me, he didn't lecture, he listened and gave some guidance. He asked about how I felt about a certain situation and I would tell him. Councellors are there to listen, not to judge those infront of them. If you keep business to yourself, like I said, they won't be able to know the true person whom you are.
As for the depression, I would advise that you listen to the counsellor or your parents if they try and help. Don't push them away and close up. They're trying to help you. As from me, I'm including lyrics to one of Mariah Carey's songs called 'Hero' and it's helped me get through some tough times in the past and I'm sure it will help you:
'There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
Because you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Just hold on
And hold on
And hold on
And there will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Oh yes it does
Oh yes it does, I know it does
A Hero lies in you.'
I hope this helped,

Ok, first of all, although you really don't want to, you have to believe that your parents really do just care about you and are trying to help you.
I do admit that I don't agree with them going through your personal things though.
Besides that, I think you should open up. This counceller isn't your family so it may be easier for you to open up to he/she and you may be amazed by the outcome!!
You'll probably start to feel happy again. Just try it to start off with and see how you like it, if you feel comfortable with the whole situation then continue going to see the counceller.
If how ever you don't feel like it is working then don't give up straight away, you need to give it time to work out and to sink in. Or you could do a bit of research yourself and find a counceller that you think you'll be comfortable with.
I personally think you should go through with getting some help because there's nothing worse then feeling depressed.
Or if you don't feel like talking to someone in person, talk to someone through here, like me for instance :-D
Hope I helped :) Good luck xoxo

definately open up. it may take a while before you are able to but it will be worth it when you are through. i know its annoying doing all of this but you will be so much happier by the end. trust me.
the stranger/counslor wont judge you. she will just listen. its perfect because she dosent know your friends or family so she automatically takes your side!
good luck.

honestly you're in way over your head here. if you wrote suicide notes then on some level of your subconcious you wanted someone to find them and help you. the counselor isn't there to judge you, just help you cope, they are there for you to vent, them also could give you really beneficial advice for feeling depressed.
