Q: I Need Some Advice....

Hi, im 14 and Ive been through alot of things in my life...

These are the things that make me feel soo depressed:

*Ive been in a mental health unit (an inpatient) for a year.

*I dont have anyone I can open up too.

*I have to deal with my problems all on my own and its my fault cos I cant tell ppl how i really feel, cos im really shy.

*I feel ashamed of who i am, I dont have many freinds, Im an fool.

*My family hates me and im serious. they tell me that nearly every day.

*Im sooo very lonely, no one would understand me.

*I think about suicide nearly everyday of my life. not the thing ppl my age should be thinking about.

*I isolate myself in my house. only go out to the shops with my mum.

*Ive never had a bf.

*I need someone I can rely on but Ive never found that person.

and all my usual probs too. like the probs everyone who is normal has.
i dont know what to do. I have a therapist but i just cant tell her the things i really am desperate to let out. the things ive never told anyone-about my depression.

I need some advice about how i should handle my depression.
please reply. Sad Sad

My heart goes out to you! i don't have any advice cause I've never been through what you are going through, but you are 14 and have a the rest of your life in front of you. You might try getting away from the people that bring you down. Keep chatting with the people on this website cause it really helps to talk about things. I am trying to conceive and i get depressed about not being pregnant already, but talking about it on here and reading about what others are going through seems to help me a lot. Please don't take your precious life! I will keep you in my thoughts!

thanks barbee52, this site is helpful and maybe it is a good idea to get away from the ppl who bring me down, but i woulnt really know how-like where to go.

I dont have freinds that i can go to cos ive recently moved house and all my freinds are in london. all i can do is phone them. but thats hard enough cos im shy.

but thanks anyway.

I realize from your post that you are extremely shy, which makes it almost next to impossible for you to communicate for help. If posting & e-mailing isn't a problem for you maybe you could e-mail your thoughts to your therapist. Write your therapist a letter & mail it etc. I would also recommend that you should consider contacting Child Protective Services in your area either via letter or e-mail. Be sure to let them know you're extremly shy, but they may have some programs in your area to help you with your shyness. Also I agree with Barbee52's advice.
