i think u need 2 get more involved in life. take up a hobby(one that involves other people), tell ur friends and family so that they  can support u through this confusing and difficult time and so that they can intervene everytime u feel a little down. u'r not alone in this world, u need 2 tell urself this everytime u start 2 feel desperate. no situation is hopeless. there are lots of people going throgh depression, so maybe u could find a support group if u dont have an understanding family. but in most cases, we tend 2 believe that our families will laugh at us or will think that we are freaks but they turn 2 be really undersatnading and caring. best of luck!!!\nps if u need a friend, mail me at shreyalovesmusic@yahoo.com. i'll be happy 2 help.

Ask for something you truly want. Don't ask for a present if it is something frivolous, something you don't want but were told to ask for, something that will just lie around in your house. No one can tell you what you want, you just have to know yourself.

My advice would be to make an appointment with a therapist (and make sure it's one that is going to actually spend time talking to you, not just prescribe the pills and walk out). Lots of healthy people talk to therapists all the time, even when there's nothing wrong, so you don't have to feel weird about it or anything like that. I still talk to my therapist once a month, even though I'm not really going through depression right now, just because I like to have that lifeline. I like to know that if I do find that I have something important to bring up, I can just call her and set up an appointment. Also, she would be able to tell just from talking to you whether or not you need extra help or medication, and it's hard to diagnose yourself sometimes with these things.

Admitting to your parents that you have a problem even again will not "make then mad" your parents love you.  They helped you the other 2 times you needed help and they will help you again.  You should talk to them and tell them whats going on.  You should even express your fear to them that you get scared to ask for help.  See what they say.  And yes sweetheart you need to get long term help, you should never hurt yourself.  Having a problem like this is not your fault, it is a mental illness that you have no control over.  So if you need help ask for it, don't be ashamed or afraid.

You have it good but if you want to feel better about yourself, maybe you should get your own place and a job, if you are not working. You just need more independence. But it is still good that your parents are helping you out though. \n\nI use to feel the same way about my folks helping me out until someone told me never be ashame of having a great support system.

Baby that  will hurt, please don't do that, you need to talk to some one who will give good advice and listen to your problems, Do you love the Lord, I hope so because When I have no one to talk to I call on him, He is the only one that helps me thru and in a way of his own he may send someone to me to help or give me an answer to my problem, Honey God Works in amazing ways, just ask him to help you and sincerely know and believe, I promise He will help.  I now how you feel,  a time before I thought about ways of taking my life but the Lord stopped me and I know that if he helped me out of my depression, that he will do the same for you.  God Bless You.

I think you need to talk to one of your parents about how you are feeling. The only person that can decide if you need antidepressants is a psychiatrist. Talk to your parents and see what they think about the situation and then you can go from there. If you don't feel comfortable talking to them you can go to your school counselor or another trusted adult.Or even talk to your sisted. Just talk to someone you know and trust to work through this.

There are anti depressants that you can take, please visit a doctor.\n\n Being depressed for so long can have a perminent affect on you....take care of yourself.\n\n Keep reaching out and never stop because of anyone who could appreciate life and love and relationships it would be you.\n\n You owe it to yourself ..... if you feel that everyone else has given up on you....don't you give up on you. \n\n I am not fully aware of all that your parents have done between you and your sister and other siblings, but as a father of 4 of my own kids I try as much as I can to keep up with everything they do, and I am certain there are times I am not able to appreciate everything they do 100% of the time. In some way the tough love or old school affection your parents may also be expressing to you is also meant in a good way, life makes us stronger through adversity.\n\n This may seem odd, bake your parents a cake, or make them some cookies or something they enjoy and bring it to them, show them how much you care for their affection and it will be something special to share between you and them, create a little special event perhaps each friday or sunday morning.\n\n  I hope for you all the best and hang in there ! YOU are special!

I am sorry if you are feeling rejected by people. You might be suffering from mild depression or mild anxiety because you seem very sensitive to other peoples opinions. Or you might be sensitive or shy. Or you might be young or immature for your age. (not meaning that in a bad way) everyone is different and every body's life style and circumstances are different and your life style affects how you grow up and at what level you mature.\n\nWhen someone says something that hurts your feelings or offends you personally; You should say "I beg your pardon" in a firm but polite manner.\n\nThis means "that wasn't a very nice thing to say and you should think about why you said it" (in a short and more affective way).\n\nThis is what my husband told me to try when I was more like you are now and it seems to work.\n\nPeople are funny that way; they give you more respect when you show you respect yourself and stand up for yourself.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start taking care of yourself. Why should anyone have to help you when you can help yourself? \n\nWAKE UP and take a look around you! Life can be very unkind, and unless you hit back and make the most of it (without depending on the help of others) you are going to be stuck in a "miserable" life.

hun listen im right hear with you. like right now im doing the same thing and feeling the same way. but i think im a little a head of you. see im 15, i got cought doing it. and well snow ball from there. alot of people will tell you just to stop and stop feeling like you need to. but hun guess what its a mental problem. we got it and its there. go talk to your counsolor. have a friend go with you, i did. then they will have you make an app. with your family doctor and you will get checked out. weighted and talked to by him or her. from what the doctor thinks some different things can happen, you will go to rehad (most likely not if you get help now) you will get a theropys that what i got. or they will put you on meds. also what i got. you need to be willing to be honest trust me thats hard i know. but i have already lost trust of many for lieing about. but believe me it will get worse if not fixed soon.

Look at some charity websites and see if there are any causes that stir your sympathies, such as ones where a tiny amount of cash would make children safer and happier (as an example, see water aid link, a charity that digs wells so that women and girls in Africa don't have to spend up to 5 hours a day fetching disease-ridden water).\n\nIf you're feeling depressed and unemotional, it can be because you have problems in your life that you think are insoluble. Its really difficult to get motivated when you think a problem is impossible to solve. Often, solving a small problem or two lifts your mood.\n\nChat to people in your everyday life or online and pay attention to your words. Emphasise emotional, emphatic words like 'really', as in 'I REALLY like italian food' or 'I would LOVE TO visit mexico'. Think if the things you are passionate about. Which celebraties of the opposite sex do you wish you could meet? Are you a keen supporter of a sports team?\n\nFor most problems that you face (such as unemployment, relationship problems, berievement, addications, mental health problems, dealing with memories of bad things in your past, etc), you're not the first person to suffer it, thousands of people have had the same problem and know some good solutions. Ask questions on here about specific problems, search previous answers or google for articles.\n\n'Count your blessings' is a bit cliched, but some things to be grateful for are :-\n\nYou live in one of the richest countries on earth, you have friends and family, food, water, shelter, education, free-speech, freedom to travel, freedom to choose your own friends, free information on the net on anything you like, access to helpful people online, etc. Add you own things to this list.\n\nAs well as medication, cognitive therapy might help, a talking cure with a therapist. If you can't afford a therapist, you can still read everything you can find on the subject on the net or in books.\n\nIts to do with correcting errors in your chain of reasoning that leads you to assess situations in the most pesimistic way possible, as if you were seeing the world not as it is, but through a permanent 'gloom filter'. Often we react emotionally not to the real 100% true situation, but to what we think is true or to the meaning we attach to events (because of unhappy memories or fears) instead of the true situation.\n\nFor example, you might get tearful if you thought something someone did meant that they didn't care about you or love you any more, such as forgetting a wedding anniversary. Your reaction is to what you think it means. If you actually ask the person what was meant, you may find they didn't mean that at all, they still love you but just forgot the anniversary. Check your facts before getting upset and do it as soon as possible, don't get depressed for days then find out later you misread the situation.\n\nYour emotional reaction isn't completely irrational. It would be rational if the real situation was that the person didn't love you. Its just that this isn't the real case. The reaility is that the other person just forgot the date. You were reacting to the meaning you attached to the forgotten anniversary (withdrawal of love), not to the real situation or meaning which the other person could have explained (a forgotten date).\n\nSimilarly you may get depressed because you attach the meaning 'I am useless' to being unemployed, when all it really means is 'I don't have a job at the moment, but I might get another one later'. Cognitive therapy can show you how to fix this false reasoning for yourself whenever it occurs. A lot of the work is done by writing down your chain of reasoning on paper, identifying any false reasoning or conclusions and replacing them with more realistic conclusions.\n\nA mis-read situation can be something as simple as someone walking by without saying hi, making you

Get out and make friend. Maybe you are depressed and need to see a doctor. What has changed in your life to make you feel this way?

First of all lets take the judgmental statements such as wrong and weird out of the equation. They are shamming words and you have nothing to be ashamed of. You may be suffering from depression which is a common ailment these days. Depression is simply a deficiency in certain brain chemicals that produce a feeling of well being. Your family doctor can be of great help. If you do not seek the help you need your condition could worsen and produce some real tragic consequences in the long run. So, there is nothing wrong with you as a person. You are fine and you are courageous to ask the question. You simply need a little help to get you back on track.

If you are depressed, I strongly suggest that you talk to a psychiatrist. You may have a chemical imbalance. If you go and seek help they might prescribe an antidepressant that will help you to feel like a real person again.
