I'm kind of depressed..so how do i tell someone?

[ParamoreAddict]

Okaaay, hi. I'm not really sure how to start this off and its probably gonna be really jumbled and whatnot, but bear with me. I think a lot about suicide. Like every day. I've tried cutting, but I chicken out every time. There's a lot of mental crap going around in my family like bipolar depression, my parents think I have that. Anyways I'm just really depressed, because of a lot of things such as boy problems, my dad's unemployed, I was molested a lot when I was younger (which absolutely no one know about), my moms been really mean lately and I don't really have anyone to go to. No one knows what I'm going through, because I always have a smile on in public. I really want someone to know, But I don't have anybody. I've been homeschooled all my life which has left me with only a couple friends now. But I need someone to know. I have a best friend, but I don't really know if they'd understand. I don't know who to tell about how I feel or how I even would, and idk if y'all can help me with this but I really hope so.

Im sorry to hear that u had been having problems whith ur mom.. when i was a little younger my mother and i never really saw eye to eye, and now we sometimes arguee... my father is unemployed as well, so i understand were ur coming from. On the molestation, i was also molested but by guys that were ble to drag me behind my school, so i to understand....
to be honest what u r doing now, writing about it; u r able to talk to some stranger and get help, u are able to confide in someone right now. Not just to me but to anyone who reads ur post. No one knows m depress as well because i feel like they just wont understand and laugh about it, or they wluld just think m jk and not even listen to me. Life gets hard ll the time, but keep writing ur feelings out, because if no one around u is willing to listen then write and people hear would read and talk to u, to help u at ny way

Welcome, I hope we can help you I'm so glad that you want to reach out for help. The first thing is to find someone (preferably an adult) you feel comfortable speaking with about this. The next thing is figuring out exactly how to go about telling them. You could write down everything that you want to tell them and then give it to them to read, you can write down points that will help guide the conversation. It will probably be awkward no matter how you try to do it, but the longer you wait, the harder it will be for you. One person to try taling to is your doctor, if you feel like your parents won't listen to you, they might be more likely to listen to your doctor who can evaluate you and see what's going on. You're always welcome to post here as well, there are a lot of people who understand what you're going though. I myself have been suicidal off and on for the last 10 years. Professional help is always best and most people who reply to you will first suggest that you seek it.

Honestly, it sounds like you could easily be depressed. It, however, sounds like Depression, not Bipolar Disorder.

This seems to be concerning you, and your parents seem to think about you possibly having mental health issues. So perhaps you should talk to them about seeing your doctor about it? Your family doctor would know best whether you have Depression, or need to be referred further to a psychiatrist, etc. It doesn't hurt to find out what's wrong, and get help before it gets worse.
