I’m young and I’ve struggled with depression since I was about 8. I really dont why when I was so little. but now Im stressed to the point where i cant achieve what used to be able to, and i feel useless, hopeless, and in despair. ive been having mild/moderate mental breakdowns since fall, but about a week ago i had one so severe i was convulsing in frustration induced pain. the knife on the table next to me looked so inviting i wanted to grab it so badly! but i didnt, because i didnt want to offend God. he gave me life only he can take it. he blessed me and even though i hurt and feel awful i know i couldnt slap Him in the face like that. i really want to ask for help, so i can stop feeling this way, but Im so scared and i dnt know how…please help

Talk to as many people as possible about stuff you like to talk about. Find out ho your friends are and then find your best friend. Open up to them. Don’t put that filter on your brain that we all like to put on when we’re talking face-to-face and just say everything that’s on your mind. If you want, you can email me at farmerstrong13@hotmail.com. I’d love to talk to you.
have you tried talking a family member? Give it a shot, tell them that you need there help.
Goodluck my friend
thanks for responding, i told two of my friends that i believed would understand and not flip out. (people wouldn’t think of me as the kind os person thinking these things). im getting worse at hiding it, since yesterday 7 people have asked me if i was ok. ive basically told my mom but since she knows i wont do it, shes not doing anything to help but make me feel worse by calling me lazy and stupid. part of me wants to tell an adult at school or something, but I’m worried theyll overreact and like lock me up and everyone will find out and think im psycho. but with all this stress and these thoughts i cant keep up and im starting to fall behind…how do i tell an adult without freaking them out?
