Could i have my mums depression?!
Question: Could i have my mums depression?
I've been purging and fasting at an attempt to lose weight and make everything right. All my problems will be solved if I lost weight , I'd have friends because I'd be beautiful and I'd have confidence aswell. My mother doesn't know this and I feel so guilty for keeping things like this from her , could this be adding to my depression?
I constantly think about suicide and have cut my arms and thighs , I've been wearing long sleeve tops to hide it because I'm so ashamed and embarrased.
Is this depression or am I just ****** up?

Purging doesn't help. In order to lose weight and stay healthy, you need to keep a proper diet. Lots of veggies and fruits, eggs too. Supplement with walking everywhere you can, and as much exercise as you feel comfortable. You WILL lose weight.
Think about the process as baby steps.
Write down your goals, then write down what is necessary to accomplish them. Then, every day, do just a little bit. If you feel you want to do more, that's ok too, but it's not necessary.
Everyone who has ever accomplished something had to put in a certain amount of effort. You're no different, and this is good to know. You will reach whatever goal you set, as long as you walk the path.
Depression is getting in a rut and letting it get to you. It's not a disease caused by germs or failing organs. You can beat it, and it only requires effort. Try and force yourself to smile every day for at least 5 minutes. You might feel silly, but it really works. You're tricking your mind into thinking you're happy and guess what - it'll react that way by releasing happy chemicals into your system - making you, in fact, happy.
Know that there are thousands of people who have been in your situation who decided to do something about it and succeeded. You're no different. You will succeed if you want :)

As far as being beautiful and making friends.. Real friends are not attracted to beauty, they're attracted to someone who can be a good friend.
In order to make friends, you need to involve yourself. Join sports,scout,music,art clubs or any other activity. Volunteer in your community. You'll make friends automatically as you interact with people every day. Plus doing something interesting will boost your confidence and lust for life a lot.
y u behave so unnaturally?
u may be depressed but u hav to overcome dis situation. try to meditate, take brisk morning walk. if u cant share ur thought, just write on piece of paper and tear it. u will feel relaxed.
as far as ur weight is concerned try to balance ur diet and do regular exercise. it will surely help.
and at last be optimistic. it will ruin ur depression.

Yes you both have the universal disorder called depression. Man is made so that this can happen very easily after puberty. What you are doing and feeling is part of what mental health is all about fixing. How to avoid depression and the larger forms of depression that bring on mental illness is forever a challenge to all people. The old term for it was lazy and the solutions are still the same. Fight the depression chemicals that your body makes. False expectations for life and love are trained into us by our culture. But that is only part of the solution. Knowing how your aura affects your health and how it can be manipulated by others is so important. If your aura doesnt feel good to your group they will adjust it for you and make your life hell on earth.
