yeah i know what you mean..
my parents had divorce when i was about 9 and they still put me through so much stuff and it's so hard trusting people and yourself, im 15 now and it's still really hard to deal with other things on top of everything. If the guy who you are talking about likes you and you like him too don't hesitate because i had the same problem when i was 13 and the guy liked me and i liked him but than in my head i had all these hesitations like i will lose him and than i won't have anyone like him and stuff but than after a while i got into a fight with his sister and so we never spoke ever since and he moved to another state. It broke my heart and I couldn't get over it for such a long time, like he was my first love and first kiss and all that. Sometimes I still wonder what if and you don't ever want that. My advice is that you let him make you happy because he will and don't hesitate just let it be, don't stop yourself from being happy =]
Hope this helps!
Try asking God for help.

Indeed you do need Jesus, but you also need to talk to a trusted adult. What about a school counselor or teacher? What about an aunt, uncle or neighbor?
It could be hormones (you're a teenager and you're female), but it could also be a hormonal imbalance in your brain that can cause depression.
It also sound like you're going through a lot in your personal life, and depression can be caused from that stress.
Continue reaching out for help. I'm proud of you for even talking to your parents. Maybe they'd be willing to ask your family doctor about it with you????
Look into natural ways of helping with depression. Sunlight. Exercise, Fish Oil, Vitamins, Minerals, Nature Made has a group of Vitamins, Minerals and possibly supplements that is supposed to elevate the mood. It is called Mood Plus Sam-e. Trying it might help, but you would have to look into whether a 13 year old can handle the same amounts of Mood Plus as an Adult. There is also St. Johns Wort.
i guess what you're going thru is a mix of being a teenager (changes physically and emotionally) and the things happening in your family life. it would help if you have some really good friends that you can talk to who won't suggest doing things that will only be harmful. if there is also an older relative or friend that you can trust and who is close to you, you can talk to him or her about the things you are going thru. another option is to go to a counselor. your guidance counselor at school is a good place to start.
See a counsellor. They will help you by talking through your emotions, things will be ok.
13 is not too young to take anti depressants if you really need them.
But 13 is too young to be seriously involved with guys so maybe give it a break until you are 16.
Insist that your parents take you to the doctor.Once there tell him everthing. Depression will kill you quicker than cancer. Get God in your life and find a church with a good youth leader. Your in our prayers and we love you. don&paula s..
