If you don't know what to say, maybe show your parents that you posted here?
I wish I had known about my depression as a teenager. I believed them when they all said I was just too sensitive, and that all teenagers feel like that. Had I been on meds years ago I wouldn't have so many scars, both physical and mental. Please talk to someone. There is so much help out there, and there is no reason you have to keep feeling this way. PM me if you need to talk. Please take care, and let us know how it works out.

My heart aches for you reading that post. I suffered from severe post partum depression and without the help of therapy and meds I don't know as if I could have made it thru it. Talk to people! Anyone who will listen. Reaching out here is a good step too. Prayers and blessings with you.

I totally understand. I was a teenager when I started feeling horrible. I hated myself, my weight, my acne, and I felt like I had no friends and no one to share it with. I told my dr. first before I ever told my family or friends. I remember going to him for a check up and saying, "I don't feel happy" He talked to me and sent me to a therapist and I started taking Lexapro. I felt wonderful finally after a long time. It's hard to tell ppl how your feeling. It's hard b/c your not sure how they'll respond or if anyone will back you up and stand behind you. I'm here for you. Find one person you can talk to there, it could be your family or it could be a friend, or it could be a dr. After you tell one person it will be easier to tell someone who can get you one the right track. IF you can't bring yourself to tell someone face to face you could write a letter. I pray everything works out for you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers
