If you can't tell your parents then try telling one of your friend's parents or maybe a school counselor. Depression is hereditary and it is common, so there are many known ways to help your depression. You could also try to tell your parents, I'm sure they wouldn't get mad at you if you are feeling suicidal. Keep telling your friend about how you are feeling and about your depression. It helps to talk to people so you don't keep your feelings bottled up. I tend to that when I'm having suicidal thoughts, but don't commit suicide though; it's a temporary solution to a temporary problem. Life will get better, just stay hopeful. Good luck, and I hope I helped at least a little bit.



If you have one parent that has bipolar disorder, you have a 15% - 30% chance of also having bipolar disorder.

10% - 20% of people with bipolar disorder commit suicide. This is a suicide rate that is 2% -3% higher than people without bipolar disorder. About 75% of people with bipolar disorder try to commit suicide.

Get help soon! God bless.

Suicide really is not the best answer.You've lost one of your 2 friends,then why not be more sociable? Many parents expect a lot from their kids,i understand that,they want you to have a better future. Why not talk to your dad if your mom is bipolar, maybe he'll explain why they are always arguing. Thought this might help.



Ask your school guidance counsellor for help. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed to talk about what's going on in your life. Your home situation is obviously less than ideal, but trying to keep it secret will harm you in the long run. Lots of people have similar problems, it's not just you. Reaching out for help is the only smart way to handle this.



Bipolar is certainly passed down through the generations. If your mother has it, you'll most likely get it... but it usually doesn't show up until you're in your late twenties.
Depression is perfectly normal for teenagers, especially if you've lost your friends. But there are certain types of depression that are not caused by stress... rather, they are caused by the chemical levels in your brain. These can always be sorted out by medication, and normal depression can be sorted with something as simple as therapy. Like... try keeping a journal, that's what any therapist will tell you. It helps sort out your emotions and gets your frustrations down on paper.
You do need to tell someone, but if you're afraid to tell you parents, I understand. My parents were the same way when I came out with being bisexual, and frankly, they still don't believe me today. If your school has a counselor, I would start there.
But whatever you do, know that there are people with similar problems out there, and people always looking out for you... people who care about you. If you'd like, I could be your guardian angel, and give you some therapy tricks (because I've been through this, and studying a bit about therapy).
Just email my yahoo mail marion.rettah@yahoo.com and I will give you my main email. We can chat, and I can protect you on your journey.

By the way, if you live in Canada, try www.kidshelpphone.ca
It's a lot easier, because you can ask them questions directly on the site, and they will help you. You can also call them if you can wait for them to respond online.
Sometimes their answers... aren't exactly what you want to hear, but it's good to trust them. I've asked them questions dreading they'll answer it a certain way, and they usually do because it's the right answer....



I can't relate to all of the things going on with you (obviously), but some things I do feel. I guess I am depressed, although I don't like to admit it to myself. I'm gonna tell you what I do when thoughts of suicide appear: (1) I think about how the problems in my life are temporary. I know that things will eventually get better. (2) I read the bible. I don't know what religion you are, but I am Christian. Sometimes if I'm sad or upset, I go to God and his word. If you do read the bible you should get a version that'll gives you scriptures on different subjects. (Ex: Max Lucado, Tweenimages,...) (3) I think about how when I get older, I can travel. I'll travel and meet new people. I'll have stories to tell to my future children and grandchildren. (4) You can't go to heaven if you commit suicide, and I wanna go to Heaven and live in the beautiful paradise created by the Lord our God. (5) I think about the people who love me. I have so many people who love me. I'm sure you do too. I love you too. Of course I don't know you, but I'm aloud to love people in the world. If I'm supposed too, why not be genuine about it? (6) I want a husband and kids when I get older (I'm 15). I want to give them beautiful names to live by, lessons to survive on, and love to thrive on. I want that. It's the future, but I'll work towards it because I know it's happiness. (7) Friends come and go, but always remember that you'll meet new people who will care about you and stick with you even in the worst of times. (8) I try not to stick on the sad feelings. Try to find the things that you enjoy and do them. It's not easy, but you'll find it. (9) List of positives in my life. When you do that, list even the littlest things. List the things that mean something to you. Life is what you make, and we only get one life. Why not try to enjoy it and work hard, and become what you really want to be?

I'm 15 and dealing with depression. It started with my uncle's death. I began worrying alot, but I've toned it down since then (March 25, 2010). Alot of things still get me down and depressed, so I put myself on a journey. A journey to live life, have fun (nothing stupid or dangerous), meet new people, to travel, and have new experiences. Notice that my journey is practically life in general. Let me know if you ever just want to chat. We're strangers I know, but sometimes you just need someone to talk to. Someone who will listen. I'll give you my email address if you ever happen to want or need it. Just ask.



Life is always a game of fighting and building up new hopes . if one thing fails there is another thing waiting . the next oppertunity . i think u should go to a psychiatrist and get the medical treatment . become strong to face the challenges in life . no ones life comes with happiness .. happiness is what we make out of our life . just look around for the goals and oppertunities . and find ur happiness in those oppertunities
live ur life and have faith that there is a strenght up there which is going to solve ur problems one day . people dont become friends u have to be one .
