I’ve probably had depression my whole life. It runs in my family, and I was diagnosed at age 13. I am now 18. When I was 13 years old and in the eighth grade, my mom passed away unexpectedly on the morning of Christmas Eve. I began seeing therapists, but it was too soon and I got frustrated and was not getting the help I needed. The very same day I lost my mom, I was forced out of my house by the police. My father, brother, and I had to find somewhere else to live. We moved 5 times between Christmas 2006 and May 2007. At the end of May, we moved into a house that we still live in. In June of ’07, I graduated eighth grade. My mother was not there to watch me. ΓΒ In August, I started high school. I also came out as bisexual. I was bullied more in high school than I was in elementary school. I became more depressed, and started to cut and scratch myself. I first considered and attempted suicide during this year. During my sophomore year, I transferred to a different high school, in hopes of a new start. I was bullied there even more. I injured myself more, and began to consider suicide every day. I attempted suicide once more. I was hospitalized in a psych ward for a week. During junior year, I transferred back to the first high school. I couldn’t put up with being bullied anymore. In May 2010, an acquaintance of mine from the second high school, and also someone who was in the hospital at the same time as I was, completed suicide. In the following week, I tried to kill myself twice. I was hospitalized again, this time in the emergency room. I was released that day. Later that year, I began my senior year of high school. In April 2011, a classmate committed suicide. I tried so hard not to harm myself, but I couldn’t help but be jealous that she had the courage to finish her suicide. To this day, I still consider suicide daily. I’m still bullied daily, although I graduated high school almost a year ago. I’m extremely self-conscious and have nothing to live for. In the past few months, I have come out as a lesbian, and am comfortable with that, but that is the only thing I can accept about myself. I’m just a confused, self-loathing teenager. I’ve had enough, and I’m ready to give up. That is my story, please comment or contact me if you have any questions or want to talk. I give great advice and can stop anyone from hurting themselves, but am hypocritical and will not listen to someone who tries to stop me from injuring myself. But I am open to questions, comments, concerns, advice, whatever. If you need me, I’m here for you.
Edit: Guys, I really want to commit suicide right now. :/ I already feel dead inside. Now to make it reality..

I wanted to tell you to hang in there! My mom died when I was a little girl too-it is one of most devastating things that has ever happened to me. π so i know what that feels like,and i’m so sorry for your loss! highschool was tough for me too like you guys,mostly because we didn’t have any money and we were living in a camping trailer,i had to stay with friends a lot and always felt really guilty about it. but it’s so important to love yourself. people would try to bully me about where I lived,but It didn’t work so well because I didn’t care what they thought. i struggled with an eating disorder,and when i was really trapped in it was when I was the most suicidal,but i think about my mom,you know? and how devastated she would be if i went through with it. your mom loves you too,even if she isn’t here-I believe we always have the love of our family and friends even after their gone,love is such a powerful thing. and your mom doesn’t want you to hurt yourself,because even if you can’t see it or don’t believe it,your worth so much more than that!please don’t give up. look at how far you’ve come and everything you’ve gone through! It’s not the things that happen to us that define who we are,and me and you? we lost our moms,and that’s terrible! but now we can help other people cope with the same loss and we can stick together,and if I can help someone else get through that,I think that’s the most beautiful thing there is. hang in there you guys!!your both wonderful and strong,don’t let anyone tell you different,okay?-Ella
@Heartless25 I smoke marijuana. It is the only thing that has helped my depression even remotely, but I can’t get a prescription for that. Medical marijuana fucks me up. I occasionally smoke cigarettes and rarely drink. But weed is the only substance I do regularly.
@ christmasxsnail; It’s very easy to get a medicinal marijuana card in Calif. All you have to do is tell the doc you have insomnia. You’ll be in and out the door in less than half an hour. Many of these doctors are conveniently located near (or even next door to) dispensaries.
Once you get your card you can start growing your own. This will really cut down on the cost of buying it, plus you’ll be able to control which nutrients you feed your plants. Gardening is awesome!
Google Prop 420 for more details on the law. If you don’t live in CA, maybe you should consider checking it out?
I don’t live in Cali. I live in Maine, and medical marijuana is legal, but I can’t get fucking anything because I’m 18.
I came out during 8th grade and have been bullied since. I feel extremely uncomfortable with myself. The insecure feeling of wanting to just be a boy is killing me! I don’t understand why i had to be a girl. Theres so much anger there and everytime i get into an arguement thats the main reason I act so violent. I’m not sure if you can relate to me. But im here to talk too also. Maybe we could help each other cope. I also deal with issues of losing loved ones. Im not at the extent of harming myself though..
