@LolaRisk Dear Lolo, the good news is that how you are feeling could be the result of a treatable medical illness. You should talk to your parents and encourage them to take you to a doctor. If they wont listen, talk to your school nurse or an adult you trust. Help is available and you don't have to suffer alone.

my mom told me she hated me once she took it back but i can still hear her words echoing in my brain,she says she didnt mean it, but if someone actually says something and not just thinks it ,i know it means something, especially since she said it to my face.

i feel as if i've been depresessed forever i am 13 years old and always i feel lke there is a part of me that is black , like a demon telling me horrible things, but it really started taking effect on me about a year and a half ago when i had a major fight my 2 best friends, it's complicated but in the end i had to get through 7th grade feeling and being lonely, but it only got worse after that, i developed an eating dissorder and began cutting ,lately all i can think about is suicide

i have been depressed for about 7 months now and about couple days ago im starting to feel better but then i got this feeling thats telling me to ignore the happiness. The feeling that i have been unhappy for so long that im not used to feeling happy so im trying to get depressed again. Why am i doing this to myself. can anyone explain... ?
