dont know what to do
hey
im pretty sure i have depression and i have a lot of issues and problems and i used to cut to cope but i gave up 8 weeks ago. but im struggling to cope now. my mum has a vague idea of my depression but other than that know else knows.
i tried counselling but it didnt help. i do want to get better. im going to university in september and i dont want to turn up with all my problems.
im thinking of going to the doictors to see if i can get some anti-depressents but i dont want my mum to find out so im not sure if that it'll work cos im still 17.
also i was thinking about therapy where the thearapist can help me out and give me advice (the counseller didnt do any of that) i think i can only talk freely to a stranger cos id find it hard to talk to friends or family.
im just really stuck on what to do cos im fairly sure i cant beat all of it on my own.
any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks x

Hey, I really really am praying and pushing for you get through. Im serious about that. I will be praying for you. Believe that. First of all. If you dont have a religion, I would consider finding one that worships Jesus. It could honestly change you. And also I think you should tell your mom, I know it will be hard, but you have to. Anti-depressents could be what you really need to save yourself. I will honestly honestly honestly be looking into other options for you. Im begging you, please stay in touch with me. I will be searching for you. I give you my word.

Let your solutions to your problems come to you. Dont try and solve all your problems on your own it makes things much harder. I went through some pretty bad depression, the medication I had taken made me worse than I was before. But I only tried two different kinds than convinced them to stop giving it to me. I over came my depression by getting ride of what was causing me to be depressed. I focosed on my school work, My family and friends on having a good time, good music to cheer me up etc. go get a good massage and stuff.

Well, first off, if you have this problem you should tell your mom about it. She is your mother, and would probably do anything to help you cope with what you're going through. I'm sure she'd be happy to take you to a doctor to see what's needed to treat your condition if you talk to her about it.
I know you don't want to tell her, but she needs to know. If she has an idea of your depression like you say, then she's probably really worried about you and wants you to let her in.
And since you are 17, and still a minor, no you can't get anti-depressants on your own.
Try talking through it with her. It will make the both of you feel much better, and then you can go get the help you need. :)
