Go get a tattoo. Sounds stupid but try it. Even if its small it will help. Its a sub-conscious thing

Oh my gosh, i totally know what you are going through!  My best friend that was adopted at birth along with his brother, his adopted parents are now divorced, is at a boys camp in Utah.  I can't say i know what both our friends are going through , but i do know what you are going through.  talk to his mom or dad or his friend or your parents they will help control you frustration.  my best friend that got shipped off to camp never listened to his parents. i talk to his adopted dad all the time, we have become good friends and are still trying to help my best friend out.  i recommend talking to other people that are close to hime because talking to him isn't working very well. REMEMBER... if anything happens to him that is bad... it isn't your fault..don't blame yourself for his mistakes...i wish you and your friend the best!  \n                                 -someone who feels you pain

awww.... thats reely sad and i have suffered from the same thing!! try listening to happy music and instead of listening to depressing stuff music has a big part in depression and  not talking about it compleatly to any one and shutting your self out ,wright  how you feel or what your thinking about and it'l just get your mind off it... it works pretty good and try going to see a counceler.. even though they might not be able to know whats wrong right away you just need to talk about it to someone no matter what ,cause if you keep it all botled up inside your never gonna be able to talk or trust any one anymore.. and with you r mom she's probably just worried about yoyu i know it may seem like she's yelling and thinking your sooo dum but she's just confused on how and why you feel this way..\n and it's okay to cry .. the only thing is that if you cry too much the littlest bad news will just be like the end of the world.and dont think about it soo much just relax and pray to God to give you peace in your mind and soul.\n and ask your doctor about taking some antidepresents and then see how you feel after a while..\n\n   but you need to talk about it with someone it's not healthy phisically and mentaly. your not alone i feel the same way al ot of the time and i'm on some meds and if you want some one to talk to you can talk to me.. even though you dont know me it's just good to talk about it with some one .and parents they wont understand compleatly but they just want you to be okay so wright a letter to you r mom telling how you feel and stuff..

Honey, if you are 16 and you take it upon yourself to go to the Dr...I feel sure he (she) will take you serious...But I dont know if they will treat you without your parents consent.\nWhy do you not want your parents to fine out?....They need to know.....\nIf you dont tell them they cant help you....Of course I know that there are sometimes circumstances that make that difficult.  Go talk to someone.....a school counselor or teacher that you trust.  Dont keep this to yourself.  Its not shamefull to be depressed......IT happens to the Very Best of Us sometimes....There is help....REACH OUT for it Baby!

You need to talk to your parents, school nurse, counselor, about getting help.  You need to find a counselor and a doctor to help with these feelings.  You also need to remove all the blades away from you, to help you stop.\n\nThis is a serious problem, that happens to a lot of people.  I hope you take care of this quickly.

It's because parents have a tendency to deal with their own shortcomings through their offspring. They will correct past mistakes(in their own minds) through you! Good Luck and I really hope it works out, but, if they push you too hard, just sit them down and tell them calmly to GET YOUR OWN LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nHope this helps!\nglenn

Its hard with a mother like that i would ask her why she says these things and confront her about it and tell her if she continues to make you feel miserable then you might be better off without her.  Its not always the best thing to do but sometimes you have too

I used to have the same problem that your friend has. My parents were crazy and strict and I became depressed and suicidal for many years. I never attempted suicide, but I did cut myself occasionally. I understand when she says it feels good. The best way that I can explain it is that the physical pain sort of momentarily takes away the emotional anguish that you're experiencing. It's not a healthy thing to do, buy many people do it. If your friend doesn't want to see a therapist, the best thing that you can do for your friend right now is to just be there for her and listen as much as you can. Since your friend can't really change her parents right now, there's not a lot that she can do about her current situatione except to learn how to cope with the problems that she's dealing with. If your friend expresses any desire to commit suicide or you think that she might be thinking about suicide, then you need to tell someone about it, a school counselor, a church advisor, or a parent.

I was in the same boat.  My advice is to keep them happy, and tell them how much you're trying to get that job, or work hard at uni.  They wont stop, but at least they dont have too much of a reason to pester you.  After all, they are your parents and they probably just miss you - try not to cut them out of your life.  A sit down and chat session is reccommended: i had to sit my parents down and explain to them that im a big boy now, and to trust me to keep myself out of trouble and work hard.  They said they understand, but felt that they still needed to be parents to the baby of the family.  Keep your cool with them, they're only doing it cos they love you.

I don't know if there is really a way to tell them where they won't get mad at you.  But, they will learn in time to accept it, even if they don't agree with it.  You have to do what your heart is telling you to do.  They won't be so mad at you that they won't think about you every day, they'll still write, and await your arraival to come home.  And in the event that you don't come home alive you have the gratitude of a greatful nation.  Also, when in time your son grows up, he will come to realize that your sacrifice will undoubtably swell his shirt with pride that you thought enough of him, his momma, and this nation to fight and die (heaven forbid) for it.  Parting off to war is NEVER easy.  Never was, never will be.  If it ever gets easy or 'not-a-big-deal' then we are in trouble.  War is an ugly thing.  A thing where innocent people get hurt and killed.  It's one of the things that makes it be a thing to be avoided.  But I also don't advocate the 'no war at any cost' camp.  Thomas Jefferson said:"...those who will give up freedom for security, deserve neither."  So, go and serve your country, and make your boy and wife proud.  I was in the Navy for 4 years, and I honor ALL veterans from ALL wars, and peacetime.  Even though I'm a verteran, and can't go back in now due to diabetes, I can still 'root for the home team.'  Every job in wartime involves peril.  From the Commander of Coalition forces to the lowly mess cook.  To put yourself in harm's way on behalf of us here in the States, takes courage, selflessness, and pride.  Be proud of what you do, and someday, they will be prouder of you, weather you return home to a hero's welcome, or a hero's funeral. \n\nGood Luck, and God Bless you.\n\nI will pray for ALL our troops, wherever they are!

Take a pillow, put it over your face and scream as loud as you can (this helps me a lot) or write out your feelings in a journal or a letter to the person that is making you so angry or upset, then burn it. If you need someone to talk to feel free to email me. I went through a lot of things when I was a teen and may be able to help. I wish you the best and I will pray for you.

Go back to your therapist. Also look for a single-mom support group near you or online, (email me if u want!) Trust me girl I know from the bottom of my heart. My ex husband ASKED me for a divorce while i was in school. But I pulled through, we struggle every day but I thank God for my true friends that have held me up. If you are suicidal you definitely need to talk to someone. Biggest thing you can do is make it an absolute priority to take time for yourself. Put the baby to bed a half hour earlier and go take a bath, turn on a workout video, chick-flick, whatever, have a glass of wine, paint your toenails...anything you want as long as its just for YOU. Remember a happy mom makes a happy kid...NOT the other way around.

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.

Your isolating yourself aren't you? Yes your pain is real,we all suffer in life ,but these are lessons, to learn how to live for the better. Have you received counseling for the abuse? And living in 8 foster homes was no picnic either , I know i have two brothers i took in and although I'm not related they are my kids. They have suffered greatly also, but slowly but surely they are moving on in life. Now another thing you probably have is the feeling that theres really no one out there for you. That's just not true, hun I wouldn't be here typing this letter to you if I didn't care. Neither would any of these other people. If you would like to talk some more just ask I will talk , I will listen, and I will feel what ever your experiencing and I will give it my best shot to walk through the misery you are experiencing at any given moment. I'm a mom, and yes of 8 of my own biological children, but my heart has room for more, so you decide if u want to contact me, just dont feel alone reach out to some one ,ok you are cared about know that, its a start to healing and gaining some kind of self esteem.

Well you have some rights of being angry, they gave you away. I don't know the reasons but if you don't I think you should allow the apportunity for you and your birth parents to explain what happend and why the had to give you up.\n\nI guess just be happy that you have such great people who adopted and took care of you so well. \n\nJust talk to your birth parents and try to give them an opportunity to enter your life after all they did what they thought was best for you and I think people deserve another chance to fix their mistakes.\n\nGood Luck!

Try talking to you guidance counselor if you are in high school or your health center if you are in college.\n\nYou are making an important step in admitting that you have problem.  If at all possible I recommend you give your parents a chance to support your recovery and treatment.  Facing your problem is hard enough you do not need to take it on all by yourself.
