Q: Depression

I'm 12 and i think I'm suffering from serious depression. I cant eat our sleep. I've lost interest in everything i once would jump off a building to do. I cant tell my mother. she would get so worried she would get depressed. Is there anyway to maybe become the once hyper happy peppy kid i once was w/o worrying my parents or friends?

if you think you are depressed then talking to somebody would help. if your mum isnt the person to talk to, maybe a school nurse? there are ways around this. maybe speak to a doctor? good luck x

Enlightened: Be careful saying such things, what if it really is something serious?

Underage: Do find someone to talk to, keeping you thoughts inside isn't always the best thing to do.

twilight_mist is right keeping things inside can be bad it might be difficult but you have to tell someone you dont want your feelings to come out in the wrong way
