Need someone to talk to about depression.

It's gotten to the point where I caught myself trying to cut my arm. Help.

I am 13 as well, am a boy, also love anime, but also books. I live in NY. What about you? i have severe depression, anxiety, lonliness, BDD, and possibly OCD. WExcept I live an ideal life.

Writing Poetry or writing and keeping a Journal can also be a great way of expressing Yourself and stopping You from feeling You need to keep it all inside and bottled up it May also be a benefit if You start seeing someone and find it hard to explain Your situation You than have Your journal You are able to share with them
I would definately suggest that You speak to someone and it would be even better if You were able to seek help from a mental health medical professional as they're best for helping You through such difficult time periods in Your life.
Your Only Young you have Your whole life ahead of You.

I've also been in the situation where I used to cut my arm and my legs because of depression. I found the only thing that helped me was to talk to someone. Are you able to get help from a doctor or other health professional? If you feel able to talk to your parents.

Its great that you still have passion about anime. Lots of people when they are depressed find that even the things they love most aren't interesting any more. Being 13 *****. you are just coming into so many hormones, its very normal to feel depressed. Those are the hardest years of your life, but the good thing is once they are over you never have to go back. I hated my life at 15. I thought there was nothing to live for and I didn't see the point in trying. After I got some help with therapy I realised I was wrong. Life is what you make of it. And yeah at the moment you can't do much because your stuck at home, in school, looking after your brothers etc. But thats only temporary. Just do what you have to get by until you can leave and do whatever the hell you want.

Also it takes time to be confident with yourself. It took me years to realise I'll never be a supermodel, but when your comfortable in your own body it doesn't matter.

Why don't you tell us a little bit more about why you feel depressed? or write it down in a journal (there is one on your home page).  It really helps to write it out especially if you feel there is no one else to talk to.

Oh yeah, forgot some details. I'm homeschooled, watch my brothers for about 3 to 12 hours every week, have no friends, think I'm the ugliest ***** on the face of the earth, and the only thing keeping me from offing myself is anime. I love watching it. It takes me to new, awesome worlds.

So yeah.
