i have been through depression for 3 years now. the problem its getting worse. i cant get any medical care because my parents refuse. its getting dagerous to the point where i am suicidle, once my parents caught me taking pills, but all they did was make fun f me and said i was acting to get attention from others. im 19 and popular in university, but that doesnt make me seem any better . i have tried telling my parents i need psychological help all they do is make fun of me. im not allowed to do anything including getting a job, participating in sports, or even doing my hobbies. my parents always follow me around thinking im a bad person. and several times came to my university trying to convine my friends to stay away from me. where i live the law cant do much and i have no freedom at all. the only thing which is keeping me going is my best friend, but she is going to travel soon and if she does i know that i might die defianatly. im losing weight alot, my parents dont believe me when i tell them im sick and going to die. they know im psycologically sick but refuse to help me thinking im acting. im in a tough situation and need help as soon as possible. i have 6 siblings and they are completly fine how come its only me?

it sound like you dont have support from your family. does your best friend no about your depression? if not do try tell her because it could help alot. otherwise if she does .. maybe ask her to go with you to get help, you dont need people around you who are only there to control you but not there to help. one thing dont go the easy way out by trying to kill yourself it isnt worth it, things can be sorted , i no it may be hard but everyone goes through hard situations, my bf went frew deoression and ive helped him frew it alot, he is a much better person and i no he can do alot with his life and now he is progressing it . best of luck and go for counceling im sure it will help and make u a much happier person Smile

are you able to get help at your school?
it upsets me to hear how your parents act towards you.
do you think if you go to the emergency they will prescribe you medication, even if you have to pay for the prescription.
can you afford a therapist on your own and medication?

It's really iffy if he goes to the emergency room for depression. I've done that and ended up spending two days on their mental ward because I was depressed. My advice is to find some support at the university. Visit their psychology department. Most have support for students and free counseling because they are psychology students who are working on their internship. Do you have medical insurance? You are 19 so you shouldn't need your parents permission to see a therapist or a psychiatrist. Your family is not very supportive, but don't let them bring you down with them. You may also find some support groups for people with depression in your area. That is something you can google online. Sometimes the universities have support groups as well. The university is where I would start. I think they will take care of you. Good Luck to you and I hope you find the help and feel better soon!

the problem is my parents are not allowing me to get a job or have steady income and in the country where i live in there is no such thing as girls doing what they want even if were getting help . im so confused and yes i did tell my best friend she was a great supporter but then again i have to come home and be screamed at all the time. i spend most of my time crying for no apparent reason especially at night and crying is something i cant control.!!! and my depression is getting worse>

well they think im a bad person for asking for my rights
like a right to have a job, be independant , and stuff like that. i didnt even get to choose my own educattion!!!
for example last week my uncle called me on my cellphone to see how i was doing and stuff, i told my dad and he started screaming at me . he's like i never gave u permission to talk to ur uncle and y did u give him ur cellphone number, and what do u want from him and what does he want from u. the thing is my uncle is paralized totally and cant move a limb, hes 46, and he lives in another state!!
so basically i have no clue y they are like this
i tried talking to sm1 at our uni. in palestine there is no such thing as psychiatrists so i talkd to one of my teachers all she could do was tell me try to have a good relation with ur parents. they dont get that my parents are hard to nagotiate with in the first place and no matter how good i am its pointless.

your problem is with your parents and the sooner you can get away from them the better.

I believe the situation your parents have put you in is causing your depression. Anyone would be depressed if they couldn't even speak to a disabled relative without getting yelled at. Getting closer to people who only will lash out and hurt you is not the answer. Do you live with your parents?? Are they paying for your education? Would you be in any type of danger if you were to stay away from your parents and their abusive ways?

yes i do live with them and they do py for my education. i really want to get rid of my parents or just run away from home. my parents even humiliate me in public and in front of my best friends. i dont know what to do i so want to get away from them and never see them again. i would love to live alone in my own apartment and get a job, but my parents love control. PLEASE HELP ITS GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I ALWAYS TAKE PILLS TO CALM MYSELF DOWNN AND CRY FOR NO REASON. if u knw a psychologist that i can chat with online please tell me. and by the way last night my dad came into my room and said u are sick and u need help. then after a couple of hours he told my sisters i wasnt worth the help. so now my last resort is chat rooms and emails to ppl i dont know so if u can please help me i beg u!!!!

We are all here if you need to talk. You can even PM me if you want. Maybe there is a psychologist online that is willing to take the time and help you. That would be good but your real therapy would be to get away from your parents. Your father's mental abuse is the poison making you depressed. You may just have to go behind their back and get a job and then an apartment. Do you have a friend that you can move in with? How old are you? You need to be prepared that they may stop paying for your education, but it's not worth the mental abuse and years of depression. Once you get a job and apartment you may be able to slowly either pay for school on your own or be able to get some help from whatever source your country provides help to young people living on their own. You really do need to get out. I wish you luck. I'm here if you need to talk.
