How do I make my parents realize how depressed and suicidal I am?
Oh yeah, I'm 14 and female
Answer:
This is too serious for any of us amateurs to answer. I found the following and they can probably direct you! Good luck, just remember you are someone special!
www.GirlsAndBoysTown.org Free prevention Hotline open 24-Hrs 1-800-448-3000. Call us today!
tell them you need to see a therapist. quick
Don't do it. You need to get some help fast. I would call a suicide help line. Please get some help fast!!
I am so sorry. I hope your not joking around and playing a sick game on here. Your mother has the problem not you. You need to go to the hospital in morning. Bike there if you have to. Explain to them what is going on. They will get you help. Call social service, they should be told about this.
I wish I was there so I could help you. I would come and take you to the hospital so you could get propper care. Please do not do anything harmful..
If you give me your phone number and name, I can get you help. I went through depression and it was to the point I had my funeral planned and my out fit picked out. Then someone from my past, she was like an angel came and saved me...
so let me be your angel and let me save you.
and there are free programs where you do not have to pay for theropy.
Tell someone else about it..someone that will do something about it. If you are afraid you will do it..head over to the hospital right now..let them know how you are feeling. Your parents will have no choice but to get the help you need. If you can't head over to the hospital..call 911..tell them you want to commit suicide..believe me..your parents will know you need help then. Don't hurt yourself..get help.
You sould probably tell your parents how much you'd like to see a counselor. Sounds like your mom doesn't want you talking to a professional because she might be afraid of what will happen. But it's great that you realize you need someone to talk to, and I think you should tell your parents that. If you want to talk to someone about what's going on with you, that should be your choice and your parents should be more than supportive of that decision.
Suicide shouldn't be an option for you. I know you're down and out and believe me, we've been there (at least I have) Take today, for example, I have cried literally all day long for no apparent reason. If you need someone to talk to, please email me or IM me or get ahold of me somehow, I promise things will get better. Say you do attempt suicide, what does that accomplish? Nothing. Doesn't allow you to overcome and make a difference in this world. Don't become a statistic, do something about it. You never know, YOU might be the person that saves someone else someday down the road by deciding tonight is the night you want to turn over a new leaf and start living your life.
I'm serious about the email though, please feel free.
you need to tell your parents that this is a serious problem, and that its NOT skin deep, and isnt GOING to be made "better" by simply smoothing over the problem. it IS a problem ,that needs to be addressed, because you are self harming, and having suicidal thoughts.
obviously the pills arent working, i have no idea what they are, but if all theyre doing is making you sleepy and hungry, then theyre obviously not the type your after.
if they refuse to do anything, i think its best if you make an appt, with a doctor, and he'll assess your situation, and either put you on medication, or send you to a psychologist, where then, your parents will have to realise how serious the situation is.
dont give up~ i was this way once, but believe me, there is a way out of that horrible feeling, there are pills, people and everyone to get you through this stage.
life has so much to offer, so try not to get so hung up in these negativities!
is you ever want to talk, add me on messenger

ok first of all why are you going to try and kill yourself just to prove a point to your parents? You have to understand that people with out depression just don't understand it. They think that you can just get better. your mom thinks that going shopping will just make you better. when you have depression it is a disease. you can not help it. when you have a cold or the flu going shopping doesnt' make it go away. You have got to sit your mom down and tell them what is going on that you need help. It is vital. This is serious especially since you are willing to get help. The meds don't make you tired and hungary. they can help and they will. I would like to talk to your mom. That is awful that you are willing to get help that you want help and she wont get it for you. I am sorry you have to go through this. I wish you the best of luck. Just hold on. you can make it through. Just don't kill yourself. There is a light at the end of it. I have been there myself. I am a cutter too. I have almost done the suicide thing but for some reason I didn't so just know that there better things waitig out there for you. Tell your mom how serious this is!
What?? hey, Your mom isnt handleing this well at all. YOu should ..well...need..to talk to someone else (an adult). No offense but that is very bad parenting. Im not saying shes a bad mom but thats just messed up right there. Why do you want to kill yourself? How could something be that bad? I never understood what depression was until my husband got sent away to iraq for a year and a half. His mission is very deadly..more so then others there. But i got help. i saw someone about it and they gave me medication. But you need to check yourself into a center. So what if your mom doesnt do it, all YOU have to do is tell an adult. Save yourself. Your also one of gods precious children. You havent even begun your life. Life is FILLED with beauty. We just dont appriciate it or know it...but you will.
if you succeed, theres gonna b a lot of ppl you leave behind that will be fucked up 4 the rest of their lives cuzza u. if you dont suceed, you'll get better eventually, but you'll still have all those scars and you'll b ashamed of them. trust me, just talk 2 ur parents. tell ur mom youneed 2 c the therapist, or talk 2 a school counselor or something like that. you could always start screaming and crying, that usually makes a point.
stop and read this. all adults are not good at parenting. you seem to have common sence about you. please do the right thing for you. remember that you are the one who is ultimately going to decide your fate. do the thing that will help you most. talk to a professional. you only need someone who will listen to you and give you good advice. don't give up on yourself this easy. fight four your future. you have a long way to go my friend. think.
There are counseling centers or local hotlines that will give you emergency numbers to call for immediate assistance. You could walk into a local hospital or call 911, they will help you and take you to a place that will treat you. Money is not an issue, just get help.
You were right in talking to your mom the first time. Keep bringing it up to her. Let her know that this is much more than feeling "sad." I don't know what her deal was about talking you out of the appointment, but it sounds like you really should talk to a professional. If money is a problem, do you have a school counselor or someone you can see? There is also a hotline at 1-800-SUICIDE that you can call. They know how to deal with every type of situation and can help you work through this. Hang in there. I wish all the best for you.
maybe you need to talk with someone else that would take you more serious this matter is very serious, like your teacher's,your dad,the police etc, i hope that you can get the help that you need real soon sweetheart, remember that god loves you and so do i unconditionally,please don't give up on life,learn to love your self frist and things well get better trust me i know, stay sweet baby do it for me.
If you are in a year round school go and talk to your school counselor, talk to your minister, make your own appt. and go see your regular dr. Go to an adult you can trust, grandparent, aunt, friends mom, anyone who can help you. While the first 3 i said would be best talk to someone. This way you will have someone on your side to help you tlak to your parents and they will find it more difficult to "brush off" and will follow up with help. I've been the suicide route and survived. It was h***. I was in the hospital a month and took years to recover. Get help now while you are still young and haven't created alot of problems in your life. You will be amazed at how many people willl be able to help if you ask. Also, sounds like your mom may need a few sessions herself! Good luck. 1-800-suicide.
i feel like that too. but no one knows. i keep it all to myself. sometimes i still feel like cutting. and i am now taking 60mg of anti-depression medication. but tbh i don't really want neone to know that i'm really depressed or suicidal. b/c i wrote a suicide note last december and everyone flipped out. i mean they all started acting like they actually cared about me. but now that they think i'm better and not so fucked up, they are acting like they used to, like not caring or giving a **** to what i do. and the more time i spend by myself, the worse i get. b/c when i'm alone, thats like my time to think. and when i think, all i can seem to think about is all the bad **** that i've been through. and i just sit in the corner, blast my music so no one can hear me cry and wish that i could die. and i think i suicide and cutting is my only relase of the pain and suffering. i know its not my only release, but i just think like that b/c i'm so fucked up. i know that i need help but i can't get help b/c i just have a really hard time talking to people about my feelings, emotions and thoughts. so i just keep everything bottled up inside. which i know that i bad for me but i can't help it.
ok so i know this wasn't ne kind of help to u at all. but idk. just ignore this answer. i'm just as fucked up as the next girl. oh yeah i'm a 16 year old female.
Go to: suicidal thoughts, depression, and self harm, at http://www.ezy-build.net. (.net.nz/~shaneris) on pages 5, 2, and 4. See your school counselor, doctor, and contact your county/local mental health agency for help. As a last resort only, consider leaving a "suicide note" on a Saturday morning, and go out for the day/evening (be safe!): then, when you get back, ask them how they feel, and are they ready to understand that you really do need help?, or next time, it will be the real thing. Leave a seperate note in the freezer, explaining that you tried to get their attention previously but weren't taken seriously, so you felt that you had to go to these lengths: that you regret any distress caused, and really don't need an earful of criticism right now, about what you just put them through, but what you DO NEED is HELP! Phone just before returning, and say: "Look at the envelope in the freezer: I'm coming home soon.", or wherever you put it. Mention the very high suicide rate for teenagers these days, and that you know exactly how they felt.
