I suffer from depression bad. I do self harm myself to prepare for suicide, I think about suicide everyday, and my mum saw the cuts on my wrist once, she took all my things away and told me to grow up; I have no self confidence; i hate my body, my looks; I'm so distracted by this, the school phoned my mum and adviced medical help... I'm not mad, just upset scared and I dunno what to do, I don't want to kill myself? But I feel I have to, too keep everyone happy, to join my brother, to stay away

@iammindless27 I know what you mean, my parents tell me I'm just dramatic when I bring up the very idea of depression, it's making me worse.

@PeaceLoveAndVicodin -----I can't really talk about feelings because it is unbelievably frustrating to figure them out.-----I know exactly what you mean. the word I was going to use was impossible. your definitely not alone.

@MWSNgaming - Please tell your doctor that the medications are not working. you might need to try a different dosage or another medication. You should also try talk therapy. Research shows that medication plus therapy works best in treating depression.

I use marijuana to self medicate from my constant depressed mindstate. It only makes things worse once it wears off, but its the only thing that makes me feel a little better

To people reading this:Don't be like me. The only reason why I was diagnosed with depression is because I attempted suicide. There was so much pain in trying to get better. Don't let it be a secret. I'm so young. I'm a teenager like many of you, but I suffer from this disease. Don't let it consume you like it did to me. If you think you have depression, then PLEASE get HELP.
