My Dear Maribel, ** this is gal to gal talk **

Please talk to someone. Please don't ignore your feelings. You're probably hurting. Something is wrong. Depression is a sign.

I had been depressed starting around your age... and I ignored the voice to talk to someone about it. I waited 15 (yup, FIFTEEN) years before something was finally done. I reached my limit and it was time to do something about it. About 4 years ago (I was 30 at the time), I was hospitalized for a week in a hospital because I was suicidal. (I'm a gal just like you, Maribel... so I'm talking you like I'm a big sister to you...) Anyway, after I was released from the hospital, these last 4 years have been the BEST and I'm not ashamed that it took a trip to the hospital. Next week I will be celebrating my 34th birthday. Things DO get better, but sometimes you just need people to help you. Please talk to someone, there are people who will gladly help you.

I never did try to kill myself... but I did have thoughts since 15 and for 15 years. Don't wait so long like I did. I have a good life now, and I don't find myself being so depressed (yeah.. I still have my ups and downs since I'm human :o) ) ... but I just wish that I found help much earlier... when I was your age.

If the depression is more than a week or two, that is cause for concern. If it blows over in a couple days... you are human just like all of us...:o)

You are special... you have much to offer this world. Cutting means that you don't actually want to "kill" yourself... you just want the pain to go away... you just want what's bothering you to go away.

I never wanted to kill myself.... Like you, I just wanted the pain and problems to resolve themselves for the better.

Talk to someone. You are unique and there is NO ONE in this world exactly like you. Just remember that! :o) LUV ya! Oh, and if you want to e-mail me, go to my profile. I'll be more than happy to adopt you and take you under my wing...

Talk to someone... it is not normal to cut yourself. If you are just trying to get attention then grow up already...

You need to speak with your doctor.

just get over it! or if you are really depressed try antidepressants, BUT FIRST ASK YOUR DOCTOR!

Don't cut yourself because thats just going to make it worse. I use to when I was younger. But now I just do things to make myself feel better i would stand in front of the mirror for hours just stylin my hair or doing makeup. Find something tha really interest you.

talk to your parents or another adult you trust.

self inflicted cutting could be a symptom of other things, such as bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder, not just depression.

do you know why you cut yourself? is it to attempt suicide? do you feel better after you do it? depending on why you cut could lead to a different diagnosis of whats going on.

Just get over it and think about all the people who will be depressed if you think about or commit suicide, and all the friends you have. and cutting yourselves, thats crazy

You aren't alone--- I (was) the same way. 15, cutting myself, attitudes with friends, not so good. I found a friend that I could trust, and it helps just to get it all out. Find someone to talk to, that won't judge you. Just remember that all those cuts- they turn into scars, and what you're going through now will stick to you forever.

most people have no idea what its like to go through this yes it is depression not alone its addicitive ive done it i quit though it was the hardest thing i think ill ever go through it also leads to other things like drug abuse like it did with me most ppl thought with me it was just me tryin to get attention but i done it for 2 almost 3 years n no one knew i did so they finnaly said it was depression because cuttin helped me but yet again it made me worse because i had to hide it i hated doing it but it was the only way to cope with things i havent for 9 months its still a daily struggle but u can do it and it wouldnt hurt to talk to a doctor or someone ur close to and if u ever need to talk here is my email

marie410333@hotmail.com or this is my yahoo

marie41033310@yahoo.com


and i was 12 when i started and i finally quit at 15

your 15, you should first know not to cut yourself. second, find out whats been bugging you lately. if you find your case then quickly solve it. third, listen to some upbeat music!
Good Luck
