Am I depressed or its just those teen things,,,?

Im 15 right now, I always have crying spells, I even cry myself to sleep at night, I had suicidal thoughts, I also cut myself. I have no one to talk to at all, I cant talk to my parents, I feel so worthless and as if im always doing the wrong things and everything is my fault, I have no clue what to do, about 5 months ago, I had intense problems, I would ALWAYS cry every night and I would always cut myself, and it always comes and goes, should I go to a doctor? maybe im not depressed, maybe im just a teen? or am I depressed? I dont even want to be with any of my friends or family

Answer #1

I used to feel a little fraction like that, I would cry a lot at night because of things which I thought were important, but looking back, they’re not. Cutting yourself isn’t going to fix anything though, it will just scar you permanantly physically when you have moved in emotionally… please stop it. Its not worth it.

I know that people always say “look on the bright side”.. I always thought yeah yeah… as if that works… but try, every day when you go to bed to think of 5 things that went well that day, even if they are really petty things like… ‘I had a nice breakfast’ lol. It really does put your mind in a different state. Also just think of all of the things that could be worse… you could be being abused, you could live in a war zone, you could be homeless, you might not have any parents, you might be terminally ill… there are so many things that could be worse. I always think about that when I feel down about stuff.

I don’t feel as though I can talk to my Dad that much anymore, and yeah that upsets me a lot, but when I feel down about a lot of stuff, I make sure I am always doing something, like homework, cleaning my rabbit out, on here, school etc. it stops me thinking about things and it really helps. But yeah it does get to me sometimes, but usually I’m so tired when I go to bed that I fall asleep reaaallly quickly. (Not to mention that things can always feel worse that time of the month… cough…) lol

Really though, I hope that things improve, I hattte it when I feel like that, I hope that you will start to feel a bit happier. Feel free to funmail me or post on my profile… or if you don’t want to then don’t lol

Good luck!!! =D

I used to cut myself. I used to cry a lot but now I am okay. I guess I had suicidal thoughts too. but it goes away. it’s a little bit of both , depression and those teen things. but if you’re really planing to suicide you should go to a doctor. I used to listen to flyleaf and screamo songs and get depressed. it’s fine. I used to cut my wrists too. but be safe, and think of all the things you have and be thankful. that helped me a lot :)

Answer #3

You are depressed. Cutting yourself is definitely not something the average teenager should be doing. It is unsafe, and dangerous, and if you are cutting near your wrists you risk cutting into your veins. You should immediately talk to someone. Usually pulling away from people is a sign of depression, but what could you be depressed about at such a young age ? The world is all rainbows at 15. Just go get some help so you can be safe !

Answer #4

It sounds like you are suffering from depression. Have you tried to seek out a counselor and speak to them? They are really good with dealing with problems and will help a lot.

Answer #5

I know how you feel. I’m 13 and already trying to resist the urge to throw myself at a moving car. I never cut myself, except my suicide attempt last year when couldn’t bring myself to stab myself. But anyway, one thing that helped me was talking to someone professional who understands. I phoned Samaritans and got the help I wanted. There’s always someone ready to take your call, and they’ll stay on the phone for as long as you want to stay on for. Trust me, the longer you hang about not talking about it, the worse you’ll feel. Another cure I found was singing screamo songs in my bedroom in the evenings.
