I think I have depression

Posted by Miranda Hope @mirandahope, Sep 7, 2011

I've taken a few tests from medical sights that say I might have minor depression. I don't really know what to do. I feel as if I do have depression; the cutting, the suicidal thoughts, the feel of worthlessness. I know that I have my whole life ahead of me, but I don't think I will make. I know that my parents will miss me but my dad has another prettier more perfect daughter and I only see my mom every now and then because shes always out with friends or with her boyfriend, plus she has my sister and her boyfriends daughter. I try to hintvat it, let people know but they don't see the hints. I'm scared because I don't want to die. But the longer I live with this the harder it seems to put up with. I don't know if I should tell one of my parents? What if they just blow it off saying it's not possible? That I just want the attention? Have any ideas as of what to do?

Hi Miranda, I do hope you have taken the advice of so many and are speaking with someone you trust about your feelings. If you have not done so, please talk with someone that you feel certain will believe you and not judge you. It is important to share your thoughts with someone that is near you. Talking to your teacher sounds like a great idea, if you feel comfortable doing that. I understand why you may not want to tell your family right away but you will feel alot better once you tell the truth to your teacher. she can help you make decisions about who else to talk to right away. Please reply and know that you are in thoughts and prayers here. You have our attention and we want to hear from you. How are you doing?

Sorry I have'nt replied sooner; I've had homework. But I am doing alot better. I still have moments were I'm sad but not as often. I've found myself seperating from my best friend and its actually whats helping me. Does any one know if my friend could have cause my depression? And I think I have looked at borderline personality disorder but I dont remeber the results so I'll have to look at it again. But thanks for all of your help everyone.

There is nothing minor about your depression, and if you are afraid that your parents will blow it off, tell your doctor right away. He will send you to a psychiatrist, try NOT to be freaked out by that but they have to evaluate you to see if you need an anti depressant. It will get better, Please feel free to write back to me for support
