You most likely have depression- if counseling is not helping then you should seriously consider seeing a psych and getting on anti-depressents!. Though you should also know- pretty much all teenage girls fight with their mother so dont worry about that, most teenage girls dont get along with their overprotective fathers, basically life is just hard when you are younger!. It gets better though, eventually you grow up, you leave school, and you learn that those people that get through school by bullying other people get a serious kick in the behind when they go out in the real world and try to boss people around like that in the work place!. Half the kids that are so cool and popular in high school will be nobody when they are adults!. Dont even stress high school- its a superficial unrealistic world!. The whole sleeping thing is hard- when I was younger and couldnt deal I just found really relaxing things to do before sleep like watching funny tv shows- or reading- listening to music- anything that kept my mind thinking about other things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Could be Bipolar disorder, or a lesser version, but I would get checked out!. inflicting self harm becomes a habit, so that could be one of the reasons you are still cutting, instead of finding a different outlet for everything that is going on!. I went through that also, and i found that keeping a diary of all of my feelings and writing helped me to stop, and made things so much easier - mentally and emotionally!.

I hope everything works out for you and things start to get better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's hard to say but your personal circumstances probably contribute to alot of your problems!. I was bullied in high school and backstabbed by friends who later bullied me too!. I spent most of high school depressed!. Things got better though nd now I have a great set of friends and have been working on getting my self esteem up over the years!.

If it was mental illness I'm sure your counselor would have caight it!. He or she might believe things are related to your personal problems (believe me I saw a counselor for what happened and stuff I thought was related to mental illness was related to what happened to me)!. Still if you think they're not working for you convine your parents to change counselors!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you're just going through some depression, when I was 14 I had no friends, i actually had people calling me names and hated my life (though I didn't have any family problems, so I understand how that can make it worse)!. I had friends, then they all backstabbed me and I was left alone, with everyone hating me because of rumors they spread!. I thought of suicide, I was depressed, but I just moved on, didn't let it bother me, toooo much at least!. !. !. I'm now 22, happily married, and am actually a spokesmodel for a clothing company!.

Things WILL get better, you just can't let life get in the way!. Just let things go, don't let them bother you, and smile, because life is short, and it's not going to suck forever!. !. trust meWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like depression to me!. Of course I'm not a psychiatrist, but it seems like you might be suffering a bit from it!. Just to let you know, cutting yourself does not help, it is just making things worse, and there is nothing in this world that should make you hurt yourself!. You need to quit punishing yourself for whatever reason you are doing this for!. Forgive yourself, if it is forgiveness you need!. Believe it or not, the teenage years will pass, and soon enough you will be an adult, and things are much different then!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You do have a form of mental disorder!. It is either depression or bipolar disorder!. I have went through what you are going through!. I have been bullied before and there was a period I started cutting myself!. My mom found out and took me to a hospital where I stayed for a week!. After I came out, I no longer cut myself and the depression wasn't a big problem!. This happened last year in February!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that you need to talk to your mom about this!. I've had the same problem and talking with my mom really helped!. Talking to someone close to you about your problems is always a great way to release some of the stress that your problems build up on you!. She can then take you to a doctor and see if you need anti-depressants or a like medication!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please get help dear!. If you were my daughter I would be so worried about you and I would want to know if you were having problems!.

Do you have an Aunt or Grandmother you could talk to!? Maybe a school counsellor!?

If you are being bullied, see if your parents will pay for you to learn Karate or some other marshal art - you need it to protect yourself and to build your self esteem!.

Good Luck - I do hope you get help for all your problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you are depressed!. you need to realize that at some point you have to do the "adult" thing and actually try to help yourself!. No one is going to do it for you!. Quit being lazy and do something about it!. By the way How can creating more pain (cutting yourself) help the pain you feel!? Go do drugs or something quit being so emo!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you are severly depressed and without being treated it could lead to something a lot worse happening!.!.I think you need to sit your mom down and talk to her even if you think she wont beleive you!.Cutting yourself is no joke!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I really do feel sympathetic for you!. The cutting is a result of the people around you, don't blame yourself!. But you should still see a Docter!. I'm 13 by the way, I should have some idea what you're going through!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just think to yourself when u cut, how does it help!? it doesn't do any good, what is the point, it only makes u feel more demoralized, just stop and watch porn and masturbate, it will always take your mind off things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Here is the truth, you will only get worse!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.It is a mental condition, but with proper care from a psychiatrist you will be OK, you are not alone with this, good luck and god Bless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would stop cutting yourself, then i would stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and just stop caring about all the bad things in your life and focus on the good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What is your diet and exercise like!?

How often do you spend on the computer!?

Do you play outside!?

Did you grow up too fast!?

Be a kid and have fun!.

I was bullied as a kid too!.!. for a long time!. Looking back i suppose i was "lucky" i had things such as the violin and i was on a swim team and went to the beach and stuff like that!.
I secretly played with dolls!.
Yep!.

To this day i won't stop PLAYING!. I refuse to grow up!.

It is important you remain a kid and don't let the bullies take you away from that fear you have of what your mom will think- being silly!.

Talk to your mom!. Keep trying and never give up!.
SOMEONE put you into counseling!. Who was that!?
Whoever it was cared and i would go to that person and open the lines of communication and ask to try a new therapist also who you can be comfortable with!.
Perhaps one you can go to with your mom even IF you feel you and your mom have a wall of some sort!.

This is a critical time in your life to open up lines of communication somewhere!. Don't close them and again DON'T STOP BEING A KID!

Most importantly!? Don't believe for one minute you have a mental illness!.

Your fine kid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have teenage depression, it is nothing ot be ashamed of and it is not your fault!. It is just something that happens to people about 1 in every 4 teenage girls have depression at some point of their teen lives!. What you need to do is go to the dr's if you don't want your family to know about it then get someone that you trust or a family friend to take you bacause it is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain!. Like i said it is not your fault and you can't help it and you parents probably won't be good at understanding but seeing a Dr can help sort it out and get you through!!!!!!! You will feel a hell of a lot better and trust me, Dr have confidentiality laws and you don't have to let your family know if you don't want to!!! Just get a diagnosis first and you will get help from there!. Mental illness has been given such a bad name that people are scared of getting help but it will all be good in the end just get the help that you need!Www@Answer-Health@Com
