Question Posted Saturday February 7 2009, 12:50 am
i dont even get whats wrong with me most of the time. sometimes, everything will be fine. like, ill be hanging out with my boyfriend and his house or at the store or something. and then suddenly, all my energy and happiness gets sucked out and im up in space and i feel like dying and he keeps asking me whats wrong and i keep telling him nothing. most of the time it is just nothing, but its bringing a wedge in between our relationship.
i love him to death, and i think he loves me, too. but whenever i get upset or depressed, i dont like talking. i just want to sit and stare at something or just lay down and go to sleep. so whenever he says "i love you" i just nod and say "mmhmm" and he thinks im mad at him BUT IM NOT!! these random depressions are ruining everything and im always upsetting him, and upsetting him just upsets me even more.
i tried to tell my parents once that i was depressed but they pulled the old "you're a teenager, its just hormones" gag and so i never tell them anything.
i probably wont kill myself, but i really want to. i was raised christian, and also raised to believe that if i kill myself, i burn. and im afraid of hell.
i think im mostly worried about not being with my boyfriend in the future. hes left me before, and whose to stop him from doing it again? i just cant handle it anymore. and i dont like being a downer. around him, especially.
im 16/f, btw. if anyone has any advice, please share. i dont know what to do anymore. :(

If you think you have most of those, explain this to your parents. If you continue bringing it up, they'll eventually realize that this really is bothering you and it's not "just hormones". You can even try printing that off and showing it to them.
Try to avoid anything even a little bit stressful for now. Worrying is only going to make you get more down. It's probably not the easiest thing to do, but just worry about yourself for now. Unless your boyfriend isn't the type who would understand, try explaining how you feel to him or that you think you're depressed.
It probably seems like you'll never get through this, and I know that's a horrible feeling. But once your parents realize there's something wrong, they'll probably make an appointment with a counselor or psychiatrist. A psychiatrist can prescribe you an antidepressant, and you'll most likely be feeling better within the week.

What you should do is maybe go to your school counselor or maybe one of your . And your boyfriend is a must tell him that you sometimes feel sad some thimes. Also stay away from sharp objects.... trust me I know. Just try do do what you can and if it gets really bad you may want to talk to your doctor... I didn't have a choice. Just do what you think is right. It will all work out. :) [ cutter123's advice column | Ask cutter123 A Question ]
JustHere_Waiting answered Saturday February 7 2009, 9:22 am: your not alone, there are alot of people who feel the same way.about your boyfriend. not to sound mean, but this guy doesnt soundlike he deserves you if you have to worry day by day i he'll leave you. you want someone who cares about you and wants to always be with you(reliable). so dump him so he gets a taste of his own medicine. itsok to be single.and about the random depressions, i know what you mean, i get that way too exactly. ask your doctor if there is any anti depressants you can take, or if you dont like pills, talk to him about finding the source of your deppression so you can fix it.

look,you need to talk to your boyfreind about this and make him understand what youre going through.Tell him how much you love him and how you want to be with him forever and that your sorry about how you sometimes shut off and explain why it is that happens.Hell definetly understand.But sweety is there a certain something thats getting you depressed and your somehow trying to deny it to yourself by saying"i just get depressed outta nowhere"?
if there is you gotta get down to the root of whatever it is and try to find a solution to it!
Talk to a trusted person about it,an adult or a trusted freind.Try to tell your parents again and tell them youre sure this cant be just horomones because if it were you woulda fealt a little better just knowing that.
Anyway,i hope it all goes good for you and hope this helped<3 [ caramella's advice column | Ask caramella A Question ]
