Questions from a 15-year-old girl who has attempted suicide twice?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I'm not trying to be smart, but what is your question?

i think you need to look at the good things in life rather than the bad, and if something bad does happen, FORGET ABOUT IT. look into the future more, you're only 15 and you still have a lot coming at you. Life will get better... and there is a purpose in life, you only have ONE! and you need to make the best of that one life because there is definitely no purpose in killing yourself either.

ahaha lol i'm an atheist too :P
i hope this helps :)

All I can tell you is that being a teenager was terrible for me. I have lived with severe depression for over 14 years now, but it did become more manageable for me as I got older.

If therapy isn't working I would recommend you at least try out medication as it did help me.

Find a hobby that you really love. Mine is music. So whenever I'm getting depressed or whatever, I just turn on my favorite music and it helps me relax. You really just need something that will get your mind off of things, because the less you think about it, the better you feel.

play some ps3...

hey sister don't worry i have the solution chat with me i am also 15... balochmohsin60@yahoo.com

hi im nearly 15 and in the same situation really ive been in hospital for suicides and self harm i now have psychotherapy and medication. i wouldnt advise medication, it has horrible side effects and can be very nasty at times :( ive started patching things up with my parents and lifes seemed to get better if ur having problems with parents talk to them and tell them you dont like therapy and you could always look into different options theres loads. hope you feel better .

ive been through the same thing

I'm not 100% sure exactly what the question here is. So, I'll just respond to some things in the details you gave. What is it that makes you so depressed in the first place? Are there triggers, or is it just the type of depression that seems to have no trigger (I get that a lot :\). I know how it is to not want to feel happy just because of pills...well, in a way I do anyways. If you'd like someone to talk to, you could always e-mail me, I'll be there to listen and chat. My e-mail is xblue_eyed_babe92x@yahoo.com

I've been in your position probably as long as I could remember. You just have to remember that it does get better. Those words probably don't affect you now but trust me, when you're older you'll have more choices in life & your teen years will fly by fast, I promise. I wasn't diagnosed with severe depression as you were, and I know you probably have gone through a lot. But you will ALWAYS need your parents. I came out to my parents as gay and they have NEVER accepted me. I still love them, it's a bittersweet moment & it's never easy being gay but I just thought this was the easiest way to put it. Therapists never help, I know that. LOL. I went to one for a very long time & we paid them just so they could listen to my story and it never helped. To get through this difficult time, the worst (and definitely the most easiest) thing to do is to face the negative. I did that for 4 years & I ended up in the hospital for quite a while. I'm sure you have people in your life that can make you laugh. Or that one hobby that makes you happy. You have to focus your life on the good things now & hang out/talk to your friends who make you most happiest. You're still very young and I know parents can be a pain in the butt but it goes away.

#1: Focus on the good. You still need some bad in your life but don't take everything to heart. The most valuable/attractive thing in a people is strength and independence. I'm sure you will meet a young girl in your life that will one day tell you that they feel just the way you did.

#2 Don't be afraid to try new things. New things can be fun for you. If you live down south, go visit somewhere where there's some snow. Vice versa. Go out with your friends & do things that you love doing. Start a hobby and stick to it. Make life fun. Make rude jokes, I don't care, as long as you're having fun.

#3 Never give up. Never tell yourself that something can't happen. Don't let go of friends because you're going through a hard time. I did this & I lost pretty valuable people in my life. You need your parents even though you hate them. Just forget about what happened in the past and start new. No one can help you better than yourself.

I hope I helped just a little bit.

Experience. :)

Since you are able to see a therapist, I am guessing you are in a home that can afford health care. If not, you didn't mention not having a place to sleep at night and you seem to have internet access, so I'll go from that. You said that you hate how you're feeling. I'm guessing this means that you would like to be happy. The biggest problem in your situation is not your parents or therapist, but you. I found something I enjoy and try to do it constantly. My dad is all about ignoring any negative thought. My advice is to just do something different. You probably go home and have inner monologue where you continue to feel bad about yourself and your situation. I'm not trying to be rude, but try not to be so selfish in that way. That can lead to even worse self esteem, or whatever you want to call it. Go out shopping and buy yourself an article of clothing that you really like. If you can, don't look at the price tag until you're paying. Sit outside in old clothes and feel the wind. Sing a song loudly without thinking about what others think. Most people aren't paying attention anyway. Take a vitamin every day and make a small effort to improve your health. I've seen people feel better almost immediately with exercise.
People who want to feel better but aren't willing to do anything are just being selfish and lazy. Funny, as that's exactly how I am, and it just continues to worsen.

Hun, I feel your pain... read my question? I'm desperate.
I am in your place, so it isn't exactly right for me to give you advice because I can't even take my own. Though, I love helping people, because I love when people help me, too.
I know that life doesn't come easy for us all, it isn't fair that we should feel all of this pain when some people don't have to feel anything. Some people are fortunate enough to have a "perfect" life. I wish I could live a happier life, and I'm sure you do to, but until then, we need to stay strong. Our lives will get better, I promise. It may feel like a while away, but before you know it everything will be better. I turn to a razor blade, I regret it at times, but I have a new found addiction. I feel like I have no one else to turn to, and I bet you feel this way too. But we have things to turn to... we have people who can relate. I find it very helpful to talk to people who feel the way I feel rather people who say, "don't hurt yourself, that isn't healthy". I mean, I obviously know that, but could they try to feel my pain for two seconds and understand why I'm like this? I understand what you mean by not wanting to take pills because you want to feel happy naturally, and not because of medication. Find something that makes you happy. I'm on that journey, too. I am thinking of taking up guitar again.
Please don't take your own life. You have one life to live, and it may be hard, but you're strong enough. You have the will power. I know that you can do it. Until you're old enough to move out, just remember that you have a lot ahead of you and everything will be okay.
Remember that there are people like you, you're not the only one who feels this way. Meaning, you don't have to feel alone.
Anyway, I prolly wasn't much help, but I know how it feels and advice is always helpful. Don't forget that there is always someone who loves you, always someone that cares. It will be okay, good luck<3x

i won't ask you to accept jesus, one reason for that is that making people falsely accept jesus became one of the reason for people leaving religion altogether, but what i do ask is that you should accept what is rational and logical, since once you do there will be peace and contentment in life.

you are seeking peace from those who just cannot deliver it.

Watch the following video, are the people in this video seem depressed or they seem grateful for what THE CREATOR has given them. Watch them and compare yourself to them.

But most importantly, see u loose interest in life or become depressed when there is no correct motivational factor for u and u r following an incorrect ideology for life, if there's a correct one, you don't live a life of depression but are energetic and charged up to work for that goal, it might not make sense now, but if you read thru and think over it, it will inshALLAH(CREATOR willing). I would advise you following(if trying something unique and different is not odd for you):

Listen to this song, this takes u in a totally different dimension, but listen and watch both, and then think about what the purpose of our life should be and is yours on that course, once you have understood clearly (thru this song, the interviews, the movie and the stories below) what the purpose of life is then you will not feel depressed but motivated to do something for it.

Do you know about 'cat stevens' the famous singer of the 70s, now he is known as 'yusuf islam,' i would advise you watch his interview on youtube, he used to be on drugs and wasn't happy with his life even with ton of money, but now has transformed to a way of life which he is content with.

Also do you know about rapper loon, this guy was with p-diddy, i would advise you watch his interview on youtube as well.

When done, watch the following it is not based on fiction, but real events, this went on to change the course of the world that we live in today.

Also read the biographies of the people at following site, see the state they were in. These people (even though some of them were very young) faced trials and persecution were socially cut off and were hated initially, but emerged as successful ones(praises to THE CREATOR ALONE for that), and made history, wrote new chapters in the books of ethics and morality, reached to the top, yet were very humble but just, the rich and strong who would want to exploit the weak would be threatened by them but the weak and poor will feel secure with them.

trust me there is a solution for all of our problems ALHAMDULILLAH(praises to THE CREATOR only), but we need to knock the right door.

To be honest when i was 15 i felt depressed and sick of crap too for ages.. but it does get better. i know load of people say that its your 'teenage moods', but as you get older you get more independence etc. and life changes.
Im 21 now and i often cant believe how quick life changes from year to year.
Next time you're happy, think about it and remember that you are happy sometimes.
If you're dead you're dead. You never know what excitement, change or good stuff is gonna happen. wait it out!! =)

I am sorry you feel this way and ha trust me i am nott gunna tell you to pray to some guy in the sky to help your problems my family is a bunch of church-junkies its quite annoying. Tell your therapist that you dont like going, it doesnt help and you need another method, thats the worst thing that will happen? they might even tell you something that works. I am sorry about your parents, but think when your 18 you can move and do whatever you want you can travel you can make new friends learn new things and you ont have to worry about them ( even if that sounds cheesy) think of what you'll do when you leave:)

You have to sit down and think why you feel this way, just ask yourself WHY? to everything. You need to find the root of the problem and find ways to help it and fix it. Why do i feel this way? Why do want to die? Why does that bother me? Why do i dread going, Why doesnt it work? etc..

I hope you feel better i really do, i hope you are okay and i am deeply sorry you feel this way and i hope that i helped in even the smallest of ways. Take care, stay strong <3:)
