QuotesWhere cani go for depression without parental consent & get help?
I'm seventeen and in middle school i started to think negatively about myself and want to end my life. i've always just pretended it was a phase and thought i was just a "sad person". but now that its been this way for years, i know its not just a phase. i think about different ways to kill myself daily and i used to cut myself. I dont really cut anymore but it doesnt stop me from thinking about suicide. it has gotten so much worse since i broke up with my boyfriend of a year in October. i hated myself. and now my "boy problems" have gotten more dramatic and saddening, all i want to do is committ suicide. on top of that, just in the last few days i've been questioning my sexuality. i've NEVER done that before. it scares me and it grosses me out. i never thought that i'd want that. i dont want it, but i guess im so tired of men screwing me over that i'm going to the extreme.
bottom line, i've told my mother about my depression and suicidal thoughts-she said im being melodramatic. i need to go somewhere where i can get help without my parents involvement.my friend takes medication for depression and it helps her a lot, id like to try that if i can. anything would be better than dealing with this alone.

Submitted by Cheerio11582 on December 14, 2009 - 11:34am.You sound a lot like a did a couple years ago, and sometimes the thought still comes to mind, and when it does, i like to try to think, there are other people worse off then me, I have family, whether I like them at the time or not, but what would they go through if something like that happens.
It is all not that bad to not have a boyfriend, i didn't "date" till i was 19, its not a big deal.
If you need someone to talk to, i am willing to help. I am not a counselor, but i have been there and helped others in that situation.
Why dont you look online and search for depression, they will give you numbers to call, or talk to your doctor, next time you are there.
And most importantly - take it easy.
please don't do anything
Submitted by Adren on December 12, 2009 - 7:49pm.please don't do anything drastic.. that is not the answer.. i'm glad to hear that you don't cut yourself anymore.. that's a great start.. you are young and this is a normal thing really.. i went through it too.. it does get better and it does take time and it will make you that much better of a person in the end, a stronger one.. trust me.. you can talk to your counselor at school but they may tell your parents if you mention suicide.. that may be what they need, to hear it from someone else but I think they may go overboard with it and make you feel worse coz they will worry extremely.. my school had/has a school psychologists on board.. you may want to check that out.. there are also hotlines you can call for free.. i tried the prescriptions but stopped.. the problem with those pills is that some are addictive and all they really do is cover up the problems but never solves them.. once you get off of them the problems are still there so ultimately you have to deal with them and get passed them.. it's really not that hard.. have you talked to your friends about this.. i stopped with it once i realized that my family really loved me and that i needed to be here for them and make them proud.. it was the best decision i ever made.. i lost my parents three years ago, both of them.. i still aim to live for them and continue to make them proud.. i have a purpose.. plus i like to live my life for me and accomplish as much as possible while still living my life to the fullest with love, laughter, friends and family.. check out this website: save.org and here is the number 1-800-273-8255.. it's free and anonymous.
