if you are in school or high school or even college, talk to the couseler, its free and they are willing to help and its confidential, if you want to tell your mom, they will help w/ that as well. good luck, and feel better
maybe u should go and see a doc
good luck
request some counseling. i hope mom/dad are supportive of it.
i think you should tell your mom too. excersising makes you happy because it releases a chemical called ceratonin [idk if thats how you spell it] and it could help a little bit.
it would be best to look for professional help after you told your mom. You can never keep these things a secret. It will only get worse if you don't help it now.
if you trust your mom more, then you should go to her as soon as possible...just so you are aware, both your dad and stepmom need to know as well...either you can tell them, or ask your mom to tell them...but since you are living with them they need to know...this is because it will help them understand your behavior and not take it as something else...
what you can ask your mom is to take you to see your doctor...then you can talk to your dr. and explain how you been feeling...what you been thinking...but you have to be honest...even if this means that you have thought about killing yourself, or hurting others...they need to know...the conversation with the dr. will be confidential so he wont tell your mom or dad what you talked to him/her about...one of the important questions you'll be asked, is if you feel like hurting yourself right now...this is important to determine the level of depression you have...
your dr. then should be able to give your mom a list or recommended therapists...it's not as bad as it sounds...this person is just going to sit first ask you a few questions similar to what your dr. will ask...then he/she will ask you what is going on...everything you talk to your therapist about, regardless of how bad...is confidential...the only time they will break that confidentiality, is if you say that you are going home to kill yourself or someone else...they will also give you medication that will help you get out of that depressive mode...i know that the general public see's taking meds as a bad thing...it does not mean that you are crazy...all this means is that your brain is missing a certain level of chemicals and medication helps your brain to produce this...you don't have to be on meds for ever...some people get out of their depressive modes and don't require any more help..
but for your own good and to stop your suffering tell someone and get some help...its a really dark and lonely place to be in, but you don't have to be there...
good luck
