I think I'm depressed but how do I tell my mom?!
Question: I think I'm depressed but how do I tell my mom!?
I'm 16 and go through times of depression, and when I'm depressed, it's really bad!. All I want to do is lay down in my room by myself!.
I am happy sometimes and I can go out and have a good time so it's not severe but I just don't want to feel this way anymore!.
My mom is a very good mom!. Everything she does is for my sister and I!. We get along well and we're really close, but we have our moments!.!.!.but what mother and daughter doesn't!? I just don't know how to tell her about my depression!. I don't want to scare her in case she doesn't know what to do or how to react!. Plus, our family is going through a really tough time!. My aunt is making some really bad choices and she said some really mean things to my mom the other night and they were really close, like best friends and I know my mom's hurt!. There are other things too and I just don't want to make things worse!.

I think that along as you are open with your mom that it will all work out!.!.!. From what you described, you seem to have a good relationship with her so just sit her down and tell her you've been feeling down lately and you're not sure what is causing it (maybe stress, hormones, etc!.) Talking to her and having her know what you are going through may even help you with your depression!. Just communicate with her and I think everything will work out well!. Good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Youre just going to need to ask your mother if you can see your doctor!. Let her know that it is about the depression that you are feeling right now!. If she asks tell her about the symptoms!. If she blows it off then tell her that you feel it is serious and ask her what you should do in your situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
be confident, just tell her!. 'm sure you're mom would like to help you!. To help with depression:
-try lookin at things on the bright side
-eat chocolate
-see a counsellor (ur school should have one)
-try turning whtever ur depressed with into something positive!. (think of something positive to cover up)
-try not to think about it
-talk to your sister bout it
hope it helps
ps!. tbh i think dads are not the best ppl to talk bout these wif o_O (mayb ur dads good but iono =P)
