Hey,my name is lauren and I am only a teenager.Im 15.Well lately I have been so depressed (so I think).All I do is cry,i get mad really really easily and lose my temper,i am more quiet.And I am starting to have sucidal thoughts and thoughts of cutting myself (or so I have a couple of times).I also have thoughts of close ones in my family running through my mind.Like my daddy. He's an alcoholic and a coc head. And my sister because I am afraid of her getting hurt or something.And last but not least me! For some reason I feel afraid,and cold, and just so lonely. I dont know why.Its making me so miserable.Im not crazy or nothing so please do not think I am. None of this was going on until well im not sure...I think right after my daddy started getting really really bad on drinking and cocaine. But please I dont know wut to do.Some one plz help me.

Lauren

Wow, big hugs to you! Part of your problem aside from your home life, is the hormones that are going crazy in your body right now. I was a real mess my teen years because of hormones.

It really sounds like you could benefit alot from talking to someone you trust, maybe a teacher at school or one of your friends parent's? Don't keep it all bottled up inside of you, take some time to talk to an adult that you trust and if they offer to help you in some way, like taking you to the doctor or helping you to talk to your mother about the problems, I hope you accept it

you don't have to go thru life feeling miserable, so I hope you talk to an adult in your life about this asap!

Big hugs!!! Please keep us informed on how you are doing.

Your not crazy at all most people on this forum have been through the same thing I was the same at your age too im 16 now and have managed just about to learn when I feel depressed and ive learnt ways of picking myself out of low moods. I would advise finding someone who can be there when u need them like a councellor it really helps to get feelings out.

I have written some stuff on how to not cut and ways to do this but in a less damaging way to urself ill try to find u the link

take care
