Depression and Cuttin
Im 14 and Ive been suffering from deep depressions for the past month or so. Its gotten so bad, the only relife from depression is cutting, and even the pain from that isnt enough. I dont know what to do. My mom doesnt know and I cant tell her. If I tell her she'll worry and I cant do that. I think I have MDD or something along those lines. Im beggin for help. I NEED it ASAP. Please help
Hey,
I'm 17 and a Junior in high school. Starting the summer after my Freshman year though I began to cut and OD on whatever pills I found in the medicine cabinet. So I feel your pain. I dealt with it for almost two years. I could not talk to my parents or siblings. I couldn't go to a doctor because that meant I needed to tell my parents so they can take me.
What I found to help the most for me was my now fiance. I was suffering from depression and after a few months I went out with one guy, and I was harrassed and everything. It was just a terrible, horrible relationship. I couldn't get out of it. Then my fiance now, who I was friends with for 2 months and knew everything I was going through, asked me out. It gave me the strength to break up with my then boyfriend. That was my turning point.
However, even after we went out I was cutting and ODing. But I found that he gave me what I needed to stop. Which was love and a best friend. After I started getting better after the depression, I began telling my other close friends and they were shocked, but they understood after I told them how I felt.
So please Zoy, trust me when I say it isn't worth it. I felt like cutting and hurting myself was helping me because it took my mind off of things that were bad in my life. I see now that it is not worth it because after the cutting, my mind would still go back to those bad things in life and make me want to cut more, so I did. But it doesn't take away the things in life, so I think now if I stopped cutting then I would've been okay. Still, I'm glad I went through what I did because I understand people better now and am more understanding.
Please keep me updated on how you're doing! And if you ever need anyone to talk to, let me know! Good Luck!! :)

I to suffered and still am with depression. You must go and talk to a doctor
( your family doctor ) and they will help you with either medication
or councelling. Self harm is not the answer. Your doctor
is trained and there to help you.
