I am a 14 year old and very depressed?!

Call this number and tell them EVERYTHING. they'll tell you exactly what you need to hear, i promise. you'll be okay hon, and you are loved no matter what you look like, how you act, where you live, or how your mom treats you. she especially loves you, even when she acts like she doesn't. you are beautiful and cherished.
here's the number, and you don't even have to pay anything. call anytime: 1-800-273-8255

I am 12, and my parents dont treat me too fairly. I just live with it. Ifit gets WAY out of hand, get some help from someone. If your mom hits you, that right there is enough to tell the police. If you can, consult a teacher, they usually help me. Hope this helped.

just cry it out. If you want someone to talk to, I can help you, I know how depression feels, I even contemplated suicide, I dont want you to reach that point.

talk to an adult you can trust,like a teacher, or a guidance counselor. You need to get some help.

Talk to someone you trust.

Sweetie **** everyone`s opinion of you.
I used to have low self esteem when I was younger as well, but you would never know because
I took the time to stop worrying about what other people thought [ I`ve had problems with my mother too as well and still do] and focus on me. I used to seriously wish I wasnt alive & all that stuff but never give anyone that power to make you feel that way about yourself.

So what you stay in a duplex. It`s still a house. You shouldn`t feel ashamed because you took no part in buying that house and be glad it`s not a box you`re staying in. Just worry about all the good things you`re doing and plan on making your future better than it is now. It also helps to have a friend or two to talk to.

I hope you feel better.

DEPRESSION
Depression is a widespread condition, affecting millions of people, Those suffering from depression can experience intense feelings of sadness, anger, hopelessness, fatigue, and a variety of other symptoms. They may begin to feel useless and even suicidal, losing interest in things and people that they once enjoyed. Depression is often triggered by life circumstances, such as a loss of job, death of a loved one, divorce, or psychological problems such as abuse or low self-esteem.

God apparently intends for us all to live joyful lives. This is not easy for someone suffering from situational depression, but it can be remedied through God's gifts of prayer, Bible study and application, support groups, fellowship among believers, confession, forgiveness, and counselling. We must make the conscious effort to help them and take them through these. Feelings of depression can often be solved when those suffering with depression move the focus from themselves to Christ and others.

Clinical depression is a physical condition that must be diagnosed by a physician. It may not be caused by unfortunate life circumstances .Depression can sometimes be caused by a physical disorder that needs to be treated with medication and counselling. We should go for a medical check up.

We should consider letting God truly be God in our life, He will prove how big He really is, “for nothing is impossible with God” (Bible). Perhaps scars from past hurts have resulted in a sense of rejection or abandonment. That may lead to self-pity, anger, bitterness, vengeful thoughts, or unhealthy fears that have caused problems in some of our most important relationships and can lead to suicide.

No matter how bad things are in our life, there is a God of love who is waiting for them. Jesus endured all this so that they might have all sins forgiven. Whatever weight of guilt we carry, if we receive Him as our Saviour, He will forgive. God stands ready to repair what is “broken,” namely, the life we have now, the life we want to end by suicide. Jesus is calling us,“Come Unto me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will you rest”Contact for further help: interact24@yahoo.in

The way I always look at things is "things always get better". You're only 14 at the moment and going through your unhappy teen stage. Believe me, i've been there so know exactly what you're talking about. But eventually you kinda just stop thinking like that.

When you are old enough, have a job, your own place and a partner. You will look back on this and wonder why you cared. When you have the opportunity to make life how you want it to be (which is soon) you will be very happy.

Just see this through and everything will turn out great :)

I'm 25, not long out of my depressive teen stage.

You say you're close to your mom when she's not yelling at you right ? Well, take advantage of that! Take some time to talk to her about how you feel about what she does to you and try to get her to understand what she is putting you through. As for the people at school, who cares what they think! At least you have somewhere safe to live in ! Just ignore what people say and I think you'll do fine (:

My life

14... That's about when I started drinking :p. All jokes aside just follow what you know is right in your heart. If things aren't right change them so that they are. You're sensitive to all the stupid stuff in the world right now. That won't be so later on. You have to do what you have to do in order to avoid having to live in agony. There are alternatives and those alternatives will work. I suggest searching for the solutions posted on similar questions.

First, you need to cool down a bit. Start thinking with a positive attitude, even though everything is seemingly against you. Many times, it is our negative attitude that makes us feel that nothing good is happening, even though it might not be the case.

As you have mentioned, your problem is low self esteem. Remember that if a person is confident, the world cares a damn if he/she lives in a slum or a palace. Don't be too conscious about your residence. There will always be some pessimists trying to criticize you whenever they get an opportunity. But at that moment, ask yourself a question- Are you living this life for yourself, or for others? No need to take their comments seriously. Instead just ignore any ugly glances or comments, and be positive. Soon, people will start realizing that it makes no sense passing comments about you.

As for your mom, try to ignore all the nasty stuff that she says. Do not get affected by it and start developing any bitterness in your mind. Always be nice, humble and polite. You may have some good and unique qualities in you. Recognize them, it will help improve your confidence. Once the world realizes what you actually are, then they will not believe any baseless comments about you. But on the other hand, if you let the anger against your mother build up in your mind, and if it affects your attitude, then people will actually start believing your mother.

You say that your mom at times is super nice to you. Be nice, but don't get attached to the extent that your heart is broken when she starts to do all that nasty stuff. Do one thing, try to find out a person whom you can fully trust. It can be a friend, or any relative, but they should be trustworthy. Open your heart out to them and tell them what you really feel. It will help relieving the burden on your mind. Believe me, it really helps. They might help you find a solution.

As for suicide and all other bullshit, seriously take your mind off it. You are just 14!! You have so many years ahead of you! As I said, develop a positive attitude. Once that happens, I'm sure you will laugh at yourself for even thinking about doing such a thing. As for relaxing yourself, try listening to soft music. Music is one of the best ways to cool down a person. And remember, confidence really matters. Try thinking about all your good qualities and working upon them, and be nice and polite to everyone(even your mom), that will automatically make people think good about you, and help in building up your confidence.

Hope my answer has helped!
