Hi. This is actually my first time to do this kind of thing. Like, asking for help regarding my depression so im having a hard time telling this. Im a 14 yrs old girl. Im really depressed. I cut too due to a lot of reasons. People see me as the jolly, cheerful, happy girl but it’s totally the opposite. Im struggling everyday. Whenever im sad or when i feel like crying, I just keep it inside, i don’t show emotions. For a week now, everyday i’ve thought of comitting suicide, i’ve searched on ways but, I really don’t want to end my life yet. And im also planning on telling my mom that I need help since i think she knows that i cut. Im just really scared. Could you please me on how to tell my mom? It would mean a lot. Thank you.

It’s sad to hide away your depression behind a happy persona, but all too easy I suppose, it’s hard for others who don’t suffer to understand, better they see happiness instead, they prefer it, but it makes it harder for us. It’s good that you came to SP, the people here are kind and friendly and understand what it is to be depressed with suicidal thoughts; I’m glad you feel you’re not wanting to end it. I would imagine from your post that you have a good relationship with your mother, I feel you should tell her you’re struggling with depression, it’s best to see her reactions, but if she knows you cut she may well be expecting it. If you are considering suicide then you must get help, you shouldn’t bottle anything up if you have a caring mum, she’ll be there for you, she’ll get the help necessary. She should be pleased you went to her for her help, that’s what she’s there for, to bring you through this difficult time. This is just an opinion but I hope it helps.
Hi there. Haha yeah im really close with my mom. And, thank you this actually gave me a courage. It really helped.
I agree with nias.. I really struggle with talking, i tend to loose my words and then they jump in with lots of advice and I get too scared. So I have written letters, poems anything to try and express myself. Also I have found saying what you want really helps, so do you just want support, do you want therapy, do you want to talk/not talk.. It means you have a better chance of recieving what you need.
All the best
Yeah im not really so good with talking too. Im planning on telling my mom soon. Thank you
I feel just like you. I’m 13 and hide the same way. But I don’t cut.
I know that the thought are overwhelming, and I’m at the brink of attempting suicide myself.
I see that you don’t want to end your life yet. And asking for help might be the best.
I’m pretty sure cutting releases chemicals that make you happy, at least that’s what happens when I pick my lips.
Please tell your mom. I’m sure you don’t need many words.
Just go up to her and say you have to talk to her about something important in private. Then show her the area that you cut and tell her that you need help. If she cares about you, she’ll help you and support you when she knows for sure.
Yes i will. Thank you for this. It’s gonna help me a lot.
Hey 🙂
I think it’s really cool that you have decided to try to get better, and I wish you the best of luck.
And look out for yourself. Don’t let them do anything to you you’re not comfortable with.
