Issues........

[Morianna]

For quite a while now..I've been really depressed. I mean really really depressed. I don't really have a reason. My family isn't having any problems. Noone has died. I'm in good health. I have good grades. I have good friends. Yet I've been really depressed. I mean, suicidally depressed. I've tried to kill myself once and twice I've been dead serious about it. I don't know what to do. But what scares me more than the depression, is the fact that my parents don't know. I try my best to act normal in front of them. Whenever one of my friends who know mentions telling them, I panic. Whenever someone mentions antidepressants, I panic, majorly panic.

I don't want to keep doing this. If anyone..can suggest anything....Anything will help..

Im sorry mate, I really am, but we just dont allow this sort of discussion on the boards. Im sure everyone here is sympathetic, but the potential for upsetting people is too high for this to openly discussed here. We just dont have the expertise to even try and help you ourselves.

What I suggest is searching the net for support groups that are aimed at giving advice to people with the same feelings you have. They are out there, and they will be able to help you so much better than us. You might also want to think about speaking to your counselor at school. And dont be scared.

If anybody feels they can help, whether by giving advice or links to sites, or even just giving an ear, they can PM you. But please leave it at that.

Once again, you have my deepest sympathies.
