Question by nmegz1996: im depressed and i don’t know what to do!?
im 13, i looked into it, i took like 9 different screening tests(which all said i suffered from severe depression.) when i looked up symptoms i was usually showing most of them, aside from substance abuse and cutting. i think it’s getting worse every day and i’ve olny seriously told two people 1) my mom who all she said was ” oh your fine, your just a normal teenager” and 2) my best friend brenna who olny believed me because she went through it herself, but she isnt tring to help in any way… i dont know how to get help, im too embarresed to talk to anyone else for help because i have always done things on my own, and the people i tried to ask for help aernt doing anything i dont have many friends i can turn to, i just dont know what to do…

i know what the causes probably are if it helps , one cause is from constant rejection and neglect (im always either made fun of or ignored) and another is my dad was sent to prison when i was 7 and i know im never going to see him again and my mom wont even tell me what he did.

i really need help because i dont know what to do! i also have an inability to show sadness when im in a bad situation (i always smile or laugh) so people never believe me, i just smile cause im so embaressed to ask for help i dont mean to really!

Answer by Samothy
either be a man(or a women) and tell your mother you demand to go to a phsycologist, if she refuses go to the emergency clinic and turn yourself in for server depression and suicidal thoughts and she will see that your serious..(unless your not even serious yourself) if you can’t get there take a bus or something.

OR

Die..(i’d take option 1 if i were you.)

Get help. you obviously need it, you’re here on yahoo answers. you’ve done the research, so what’s there left to do?

if you’re gonna whine (sorry) you’re only going to get worse, so might as well speak up for yourself. you’ll feel better in the end.
