Am I Depressed??? Posted: 10-08-07 19:43pm
I think im depressed, Im 14 and feeling
really bad. ive been in a pychiatric unit
for a year and hear voices, i think im
going crazy or something.
i have low self esteem and im very shy.
sometimes i feel like i shouldnt be here,
like i should be in heaven from suicide, i
think about suicide occaisionally, but
then it passes. the truth is that i am
afraid of death.
I just dont have any motive anymore, there
is no future for me, im just a loner and
dont have many friends. I seriously need
help with my thoughts, about death and
stuff, but i dont know where to find that
help.
can someone help me please? im lonely.

Im Just Tryin to Help Posted: 10-08-07 21:24pm
i really have no idea about the voices but
i do think about suicide to. about 8
months ago i was a loner who never had any
friends and just played video games all
day, but i met a girl who i fell inlove
with and then i startde to socialize and
now i have tons of friends. i know thats a
hard thing to do but theres always
guidance counsolers and family to talk to.
Your only 14 so dont be thinking about how
your life has no meaning or you have no
future, every life has somewhat of a
meaning it just takes awhile to figure it
out. I myself am 16 and im a junior in
highschool (11th grade) and everybody is
talking abotu colleges and SAT's, I AM
FREAKING OUT, i have no idea what im going
to do or what i want to do in my future
but i will find it out eventually even
though i am a very VERY lazy person with
no motive at all also im not a good
student and my grades arnt so good. im
just trying to tell you that there is
always someone who is willing to help you
out, for example sites like this helped me
out when i was in a fight with my girl
friend. Just try to talk to someone about
the voices b/c i have no idea about that
good luck

Well, it's a difficult age you are at.
Teenagers find it hard to adapt with the
teenage stage Things happen that you
might not understand or things happen that
you are curiouse about, and it all adds up
to the stress of looking for answers.
Especially the stress of wondering what
your parents think... or will think.
The voices... don't know either, but if
it's like a "tape-recorder" in your head,
then that is a sure sign of too much
stress. It can keep you up at nights,
causing lack of sleep. Your mind starts
playing tricks on you and that's when the
strange suicide thoughts sometimes creep
in. It's sounds like an easier way out.
You're both still young and have lots to
live for. I would suggest speaking to
your parents, no matter how awkward it
sounds. They will help you through it and
might surprise you with the answers.
Don't forget that they too were young
once. Try open the doors for
communication. If your parents are hard
to speak to, write them a letter ... if
you don't know what to write then try
saying that "I would like to have a family
meeting with you as my parents for some
guidance" That did the trick for me.
Some parents think that teenagers can
struggle through life on their own, but
some teenagers need direction..., they
need to know that if they fall, that
somebody will catch them. That's why you
need to open the doors of communication
with your parents. I would suggest to try
this option before looking to talking to
somebody else. Reason being: parents want
to help their children and would feel as
if you don't trust them if they find out
you have been talking to somebody else
when you could have asked them. I'm a
parent I should know.
There's a lot to live for out there. A
whole lot of good feelings out there.
