I am incapable of expressing my emotions and its leeding to depression...?!


Question: I find it very hard to express my grief around other people, I dont know why, I try to but I cant and I know that its no good for me...
My mum died a little over a year ago and ive never really cried infront of anyone or told anybody how I was feeling.

I am going through a very hard time with my father at the moment and I wish I was able to confide with somebody, I have plenty of great friends its just I cant.

Ive been going through my mothers death alone, grieving alone for the past year, Its so hard, I hate my fate my father he is selfish and ive no siblings..

Im 15 and I think this is leading to depression, I also suffer severe anxiety and I dont no what to do about it.

You wanna talk to me? I'm 14, and although I'm not in your situation I also don't have anyone to talk to. It sucks, I know.

I've found it's easier talking with strangers that you have little chance of ever meeting, so, if you need me: rvcort@yahoo.com

Have you tried a diary? I like MyDearDiary.com.

You could try artwork to help release some feelings. Painting is really good for that.

You could consider a therapist. Just like sit down with your dad and tell him that you really need to talk to someone, and you think therapy is a good idea. He'll probably resist but just say that you can't think of anything else to do. Be firm, above all.

Anyway I hope everything turns out okay. :)

If a doctor or psychologist is out of the question, try doing things that will get your mind off depression and sadness. Go for a walk or jog, write poetry, watch a funny movie, read a good book, or any other fun activities. If you're still having trouble, ask about spending the night at a close friend's house. Even if you can't tell them your troubles, it'll help just to have company. Good luck! =D

you sound a bit like me. one of my biggest problems is that i don't want to inconvenience anyone with my issues. I've actually found journaling to help. its a very good way to release emotional pressure and not only that, but you can look back in later years to see if and how you've improved. this way, your not inconveniencing anyone, and your still helping yourself to let go of the problems.

good luck!

Sorry for the loss of your mother. Don't worry about not showing your feelings to other people. Everyone grieves in their own way.

When my mother died, I knew that she had gone to a better place and that I was really grieving for my own loss and not her.

The anxiety is a more severe problem that you can't fight on your own. You might try talking to your school councilor. He/she will be able to get you the help that you need.

Hope this helps.

There is a high probability that it has caused a personality disorder. Traumatic things and rejection cause terrible things.
I lost my dad and the rest of my family was greedy and dominated my life in every aspect, and it messed me up inside terribly. Dont think Im trying to compare your life to mine, I hate it when people do that. Im just saying I know where you are coming from and I sympathize with you "pain" if that what it could be called.
Take this test, just to point you in a general direction:

Good luck, and be strong. You are the only one who can get you out of this situation, so listen to yourself and your feelings only. Do what makes you happy, not what make other happy with you.

Sorry for your loss.

I lost my grandma a couple years ago and dealt with it by myself. I don't like talking about things like that, it doesn't change the fact that they're gone.

Different people deal with things differently. It's normal to be depressed after losing a loved one. I cried practically every night for over a year after my grandma passed away.

Only time will heal, but don't let your depression get out of control.
