I’m thirteen years old. And i’m depressed. I know i am. I havent been tested or going to therapy, because i havent told anyone because i dont have anyone that would keep my secret a secret. lately, i’ve been contemplating whether im bipolar or not. I’ve never noticed it until recently. How can i tell?? I cut myself, drink when i cant take it anymore, and constantly try to get high-like feeling off of excedrine. I lost the one person that cared for me. And everytime i think of how he doesnt talk to me anymore, i get really depressed and quiet. I want to talk to my bestfriend but i dont know if she could keep that a secret. Can you leave your email? id like to talk to someone going through something similar.

well first off. you shouldn’t keep this a secret. Especially since you really sound as if you need help. And you shouldn’t be drinking or cutting. Drinking especially, it leads to more depression. And you seriously don’t want drinking as a habit when you’re older. Please do not do drugs. You’re 13 years old. This is too you for you.
as for being bipolar, bi polar is something that goes hand in hand with depression. So there is a good chance that you are bipolar. And don’t be afraid, as ridiculous as it sounds: being bipolar and depressed are normal (for some one suffereing from depression)
I deeply encourage you to reach out to a parent a teacher, or someone. you are to young for any of this. You are way to young for your world to crash down like this. Please, get help. 13 is an unlucky number, but you can get past all of this. Don’t keep secrets. And i think you should tell your best friend.
Sometimes its best to tell a friend because then they will do it for you. And this also shows who really cares about you the most. You shouldn’t be afraid. 13, that really scares me at such a young age. You are still an innocent soul, you have yet to live and explore the unknowns of life. You have yet to experiance life. dont end it all now. please.
I am not going through anything similiar but i amstill here if you want to talk. I always check my emails daily. So please, send me a message.
I’ve been through a lot of that pain myself. I started getting depressive and suicidal thoughts about the age of 13, and this carried on for a few years. I’m 17 going on 18 now, and no longer have those thoughts, but I’m still here if you need to talk about anything:

I think it’d really help if you heard from someone who was severely depressed and came out the other side.
Message me anytime 🙂

im 13 too and im going through some of the similar things as you are and im not going to say the usual “itll get better” and “everythings gonna be okay”, because i dont know that- in fact no one does. i know its probably hard for you to tell someone about your depression, but maybe thats a way of getting the help that you need. im going through a lot of therapy right now and its pretty annoying, but in the end all theyre trying to do is help. so maybe you should reach out to a family member or someone really close to you even if they dont keep it a secret. something like depression shouldnt be kept all inside, ive done that before i got help and it caused me to become irritated, bipolar, stressed, unfocused, and caused me to hurt myself more often. so maybe its the fact that youre letting yourself keep it all in and let it all build up inside that is causing your bipolar disorter. good luck and i hope i helped- even at least a little…
and if you ever want to talk, just message me. 🙂

kiddo life isn’t easy. not in the least. I don’t know why I’m calling you kiddo, I’m fifteen so I don’t have much on you but fighting this makes you feel older. guess you’re heading into 8th grade, not a terrible time but not great. now is the time for you to be out there exploring the world and who you are. Drinking ain’t much fun, and as somebody who has gotten high that isn’t great either. the best thing to do is tell somebody and reach out. no matter who they are reach out. if they have half a damn conscience they’ll get you help. And if you don’t want help, trust me, trust a good chunk of this site when I say that help isn’t bad. the pills may not work, and therapy might be useless, but at least you feel like you’re accomplishing something. Therapy gives you a sense of doing something. Like you’re not just sitting around in your own juices. It lets you know that there is something to do and something to fight for
