Have you explained to your Mum that you are hurting yourself? Have you been to see anybody else like your GP with your Mum?
You don’t have to take anti depressants alot of the time counselling can help or cognitive behavioural therapy. Alot of schools have a counsellor at the school that helps kids and you can normally get an appointment through your tutor or the welfare office (if you have one).
1 in 4 people get depressed at some point in their life so it’s pretty normal and being a teenager can be really stressful. The important thing is you don’t have to go through it all alone.

You need to talk to someone about how you feel ie teacher/counsellor etc. Depression is a medical term and is diagnosed by a doctor it couldjust be that you are unhappy.If that is so lots of things can help ie friendship/happy music/exercise/doing things that you enjoy. This will pass.
Oh, sweetheart….. I’m sorry, you are going through such hard times…. Depression sucks, living it as a teenager is probably even worse…. I felt depressed because of marital problems at the age of 35, and I refused to take any medication….
This is what helped me… Try to find a hobby, something you truely love, something that you look forward to doing…. and you can meet likeminden people, and form new friendships… I started hula hooping (sounds crazy…. but hey, it worked for me…. and now I am in love with this new craze, and it’s a good way to burn calories…)
Also, I highly recommend YOGA. I am not sure how much you know about it, but yoga is not what people think it is…. If you live in a city, find a yoga studio (test all of them, and stick with your favorite)… Yoga teaches you to live in a mindful way, to be aware of your surroundings, and to think positively…. It’s not about being flexible and becoming a pretzel…. Conscious, meaningful body forming and exercise is a part of it, and the possible weight loss is just an extra benefit that comes with it…. IT also teaches you to eat mindfully… If you live in a small town, it might be problematic… but if you get a chance, do it !!!!!
I wish you the best of luck, read books, find a hobby, and smile !!!!
God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end — time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God’s blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can’t explain the world’s natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner’s prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: “Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.” I’m Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. Maybe you could find a Christian friend who could take you to church with them. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
Well its good she disaproves of ‘depressants’ as those would make you feel worse, you must mean anti-depressants.
Who cares if your mother disaproves of them, its your medical treatment not hers.
wow you sound just like me….only your name is the same as my friends….im sry 4 what your going through but just go up to her and tell her mom i need help im……(cutting burning biting etc) myself….i know you dont beleive in anti depressents but i think it might be time to go to the doctor…..i know exactly what your going through your like a clone of me! I hate anti depressents. Maybe its just that i have had bad experiance with them…idk but one might work allthough i would use them as a last resort i would seek out counselikng first. also to adress the self harm its always better to go to a school counselor and say hey im doing this i hate being sad can you call my mom up here so we can tell her together? (so she wont tear off your head and crap down your neck) good luck!
