gotcha! well im so so happy that your taking this step!! i really really hope everything goes well! well if you ever need anyone to talk to you can always dm me on instagram ;) im really so proud of you
Flying Hipo I also had depression at a very young age so I completely understand how you feel! It can be the scariest thing to tell someone these things but I really do think it's necessary to confide in someone especially an adult that can get you help and treatment if needed. It's so hard to reach out for help with depression but it's even harder to fight it alone! I know it's so hard but try to have courage and speak out for help because it's very hard to fight depression by yourself
Flying Hipo you not alone. I have been trying to tell my parents for three months but they just say it is those hormones shooting around my body. it is not as it started when I was ten. but I blew it off until it got worse and worse. I wish you luck though.
Flying Hipo i think my parents also thought it was a phase when i was younger but as i got older i didnt grow out of it. please stay strong and know your not alonr
+I'm not cool omg thank you so so much!! just remember that you are stronger than you think! dont ever let anything stop you from living the best life you can! dont let depression control you!! i saw this one quote that said "dont let your struggle become your identity". you can do this!!
AbiLou2663 i just told my mom and i was so scered but she just wants to help me so pllllllzzzzz tel them becouse it realy helps i told her whit whats app that realy helpt just klick that sand button you wont ergert it you can do it
I dont want to kill myself but I want to die. How can I fix this? I never want to kill myself because I'm too scared of how my family would be after I would do it. But, im so sick of life. I dont want to go to school, do homework. I force myself to hangout with friends because i think it will help but it doesnt. I ride horses and adore it but it's hard because it's an expensive sport. Really the only thing keeping me going is my parents. I'm terrified to tell them this though because im their little girl and it would break their hearts. I've been diagnosed with anxiety but not depression. I take medicine for anxiety and sleep insomnia but it hasnt been working. I dont know what to do! Please help!
+Ponyef I just told my mom and I think I just made her sad. She said it's stupid to think like that. Like I know it is I just feel ten times worse now. I know she cares but I think she just doesnt know how to reply. Im freaking idk what to do. I love my mom and dad so much but im just so sad. Like my life isnt even bad. Half of the time idk why i am sad my parents give me what I need and even stuff I want but like im so sad! Why am I like this???????? I hate life. My heart hurts for my parents! I feel like I cause more stress then they ever need. Idk idkidk what to to! Like i wanna take all of my sleep pills and just fall asleep but i dont want to not have my mommy and daddy. Im christian too and if you commit suicide you dont go to heaven. She said she needs to take me to hospital tomorrow! I dont want to go. Help
+Ponyef omg girl you seem like the sweetest girl ever! i am so sorry you are going through this!! but my situation is very similar to yours. i have amazing parents who support and love me no matter what. even though i have a very very blessed life i still get depressed and sometimes i question why i feel so down sometimes. but it may not be anything to do with your outside surroundings. sometimes we have hormonal imbalances that make us feel like we are on a roller coaster ride with our emotions. i remember my depression getting so bad i couldn't even go to school or I would have to leave work. but God is such an essential part of my life. If it weren't for him i probably would have committed suicide a long time ago. When i feel like that i just think of my family and friends, how they would feel if i left them in such a terrible way. i think of how God put me on this earth of a specific reason. dont ever give up, dont let depression win! dont let satin win! and i do have to say that if you are a christian and you have been saved through jesus that you can never ever do anything to lose that salvation. no matter what you do as long as your saved you will go to heaven! it says in the bible. so dont worry about it girl thats what jesus died on the cross for so that we might be saved and it is only through his grace and not our actions that let us into heaven. I also want to say that having support from your family and friends and the people that truly care for you will help you so so much! its really hard to carry something so so heavy by yourself, that's what friends and family are for. you need support going through this
Thanks so much. This really helped. My mom was better today and I think I just scared her. I love how nice and supportive you are to everyone. I went and talked to my doctor and she helped a little too. I could never ever go through with anything like suicide because I know it would her my parents too much. Yesterday I just snapped. It was like a build up of people being rude at school and to drama at the barn I ride at and even to friend issues. It was the perfect storm. I made some changes today. I'm switching from the barn I was at because really the people there were such bullies and now i've found one 10x better. I also asked my teacher to move me from the mean people and not that I liked it, she ended up speaking to them. But, yes God and my parents are my rock and they really have helped since I told them. Thanks so much for the advice!
+Ponyef that's good that you have your parents to count on! Don't ever take that for granted! Just know that you'll always have someone to talk to I'm always here if you need advice or a friend! Thank you so much for contacting me! I hope you can get further help and just know that depression doesn't control you! I'm so happy that I could help you in some way!!
You really have helped! If it weren't for this video I probably would have kept it all bottled up! You're a great person please don't ever stop doing what you're doing! The world needs more people like you.
My parents are very strict about depression. I'm 13. They think it's hormones but they don't understand how bad it is. I need help. My mom has it but I'm not supposed to know. (I was snooping)
Well depression can be for a lot of different reasons! Sometime you will never know why you are feeling like that until you see a doctor or therapist. I would really express to them how you feel.. That you feel sad a lot and you don't know why. And they don't listen go to a teacher or school counselor. But definitely try talking to your parents
I'm so scared to tell my parents I feel depressed! My sister tried telling my parents she thought she might have had anxiety, and my parents looked at her and said "You do not have anxiety, it's just a stressful time of your life. You may go now." They didn't even let her give her reasons! My dad said she just said that for attention. she did not. she told me all about how she feels and I wanted to help her in any way, but my parents will deny anything she says about a disorder. I feel that they'll shut me down too...
Honest Speaker I am so sorry! That's not right! Some people have a hard time opening up their hearts and minds to mental illness because they don't know anything about it or they don't see any physical symptoms. Depression is an ugly sickness! I would encourage you to start with your parents first. Try your best to explain to them or you could even write them a letter. I think writing them a letter is a great way to tell them without actually having to speak the words. If that fails I would suggest going to a grandparent or school counselor. I know you can do this. Just know depression doesn't last forever. It will get better! Stay strong and keep fighting! ❤️️
Omg you are so welcome!! Anything I can do to help!! I hope you can get the support you need! Please keep me updated! If you ever you need someone to talk to you can always message me!! You deserve to be happy and don't ever forget that!!
My dad walked over to me in the middle of this video and I told him. A huge weight has been lifted off my mind and I feel so thankful because I was ready for someone to know
Troye with Grapes omg that’s sooooo amazing!!! I’m so freaking happy for you!!! Yesssss!!!! Omg 😍❤️😍❤️😍 I couldn’t be happier for you!!! I’m so glad your getting the support you need! Best wishes with everything! Definitely keep me updated ❤️
I accidently told my mom I'm depressed and she just told me I'm fine I have nothing to be depressed about...I soon later told her I was joking. I feel alone and I really want someone to know, but I told my friend which just laughed as it was a joke. My mom doesn't understand depression. I don't know what to do. Help?
Twentyone Crybabies! At Halsey's Disco first off I want to say that I'm sorry that your going through this! Depression is a serious health condition. If you have a school counselor I would go to her/him tell them your situation and then have the school counselor call your mom and explain that this is not a joke. The more support you have the better... you could also try telling another family member that you might think will understand
i'm a little late, but i just found this video. agh i'm just so bad with touchy-feely-emotiony things with other people and i have been depressed for a while, probably at least 2 years. but i've finally decided that i can't live like this and this isn't how it should be and i need to get help, like you said, you can't do this alone. i am blessed to know that i at least have supportive parents, and I know my mom is familiar with depression and other disorders, but it's so hard to open up when i never have before to anyone. i love my mom, but i'm afraid that if i tell her she will think it's her fault and i can't have her blaming herself. hopefully i can do this haha, thank you for the video it helped me gain courage
Alexandria Bullock thank you so much for making this video! This video helped me a lot because I have not told my parents even though I have been depressed since I was 11 and now I'm 14. I haven't told them because I'm afraid they will send me back to a mental hospital which is my biggest fear.
feather heart408 omg you are so welcome! Thank you so much for being brave enough to want and seek help! It isn’t easy to share your struggles but it is sometimes necessary! I hope that you get well and aren’t afraid to take the steps you need to heal. I’m so proud of you!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. I am going to give my aunt a letter. She is a psychiatrist and I'm hoping she will be able to understand and will care because of that. My mom isn't the right person to talk to sadly.
I rly want to tell my mom that I think I'm depressed but I never get the courage to do so and my mom has battled with post-pardom depression so I know she will understand but I just can't get the courage pls help
It takes so much courage and strength to reach out for help. Maybe try writing her a letter or texting her if you can speak. I know it's so hard to speak up but just remember it's the very best for you! You need support
I feel depressed and I'm even on meds! The reason I'm so depressed is because of my father and his girlfriend. They like to take away things that bring me confidence and make me happy. I'm so depressed over it and my brother is mad at me because I don't want to live with them anymore.
My heart is breaking for you! this must be so hard for you! you are so incredibly strong! well I defiantly think its worth trying to talk to your dad about how you feel. I know its hard because you might be angry but the best thing is to communicate. If that doesnt end up working out than maybe if your mom is still in your life try talking with her about it to. also i would defiantly try to mend things with your brother. family is the most important thing in life i know it doesnt seem like that right now but i promise they are. Please stay strong nothing lasts forever and this time will fade from your life. you can do this!!
My parents are depressed and it's making me be ughhh. They've both tried killing themselves. They're getting a divorce. They're both on drugs for the depression that aren't working. I feel like I could fall apart. I feel like they don't love me because they wanted to die and leave me. I used to self harm but came over it by myself. They don't know about it. I want to be happy again. I don't even know what to do.
+Agtubelauren this is so heartbreaking to hear! I am so sorry that you have to go through all of that! well i have some things that may help. Now, I don't know the exact situation or your relationships with your parents but just like anyone with depression, they need to be shown that people care and want to help. Maybe do fun things with your parents like go outside to get some fresh air... exercise really helps people with depression because it helps your endorphin level to raise helping you become in a better mood. Also, maybe help around the house like cleaning. Now I do realize that this situation is not healthy and can also take a huge tole on your emotional health. I want you to make sure that you are also getting the help you need too! going through something like that even if the illness isnt exactly yours, can be quite traumatic. Just make sure you have a good support system around you rather that be friends, coworkers, or even teachers. Just talking about it can help! I am really sorry that you have to go through this. But just realize that some situations are out of your control. If you have done the very best you can physically and mentally for your parents then just realize that that is enough! if the situation becomes too much, then step away from it. go to a friend or family members house for the weekend. Now talking about suicide, I have actually thought about it before and wanted to do it. I do just want to say in no means does that mean that your parents don't love you. They aren't thinking about you or your needs at the moment and in a way are just thinking about themselves but it does not mean they don't love you. When I was thinking about committing suicide I still loved all my family and friends but was only thinking about the fact I didn't want to be here anymore. I soon realized that that was the wrong prospective to have and that i was put on this earth for a reason. Well I really just would encourage you to do some research on how to deal with this situation and also maybe get some more opinions about it. I hope that was helpful! please feel free to message me if you have any questions or just need someone to talk too! I really do hope things get better just try and be positive it gets you way father than being negative! Stay strong!
doctor : How do u feel? Me: like the air in a balloon. Doctor : Do you cry often? Me : If i feel like a balloon, like just air, i nearly can't cry, cause i just feel - nothing.
I do believe I have depression. I have all the symptoms but it is not impossible to live with it alone. I have had depression for years and years. I haven't told anyone yet. Most night I cry myself to sleep or I don't sleep. I don't want pills or therapist. Thanks for the video. I will stay home from school today and tell her I even have a full 3 pages of what I need to tell her to make her understand how long I have had it.
I have depression and I’m only 11 they are going to say that I’m not and I don’t know what it means but I do some days I just want to die and everything I NEED help no one will except me 😭😭😭😭😭😪🤕
I'm getting EVERY depression symptom. I need to tell someone in my family. I've told my brother.. sorta and my friend my friend cared because she has it. Depression runs in my family my mom and brother has it. I'm not sure if I should tell my grandma which I'm very close to or my mom when I walk with her and talk. Please give me a responses
Olivia's Baby Alives & more I am so sorry your going through all this! Depression is so hard to cope with! But it is something you can fight. Maybe confide in your mom if she's the one who lives with you and you see her on a day to day basis. She will probably be able to help you more
Olivia Marie your lucky you know your moms depressed. Tell your mom about it and if you want,ask to keep it private. Trust me,she will understand you. But for me I can't.... my mum isn't depressed and I'm only 10... she wouldn't understand,IR believe me. Please respond to me,I need help.
+Maryg26 that is amazing!! that is a great step in getting better! im so proud of you for that! it takes a lot of courage to talk about it! but just take a deep breath because you can do it!! i know you can! If i can do trust me you can too! I hope your doing ok!! and i really hope you get better and everything goes well!!
I think I have depression. I've been depressed and made things or had thoughts that for me or not normal. I researched depression alot and asked my friends for help. The problem is, I'm only 11. I'm afraid my parents and I would get to a conflict or they would say: "It's just hormones" Or "you're too young.. " Please can someone give me more advice please it could help alot!!
I've done bad things because of depression. I tried talking to my mom but she said I was just upset over losing my pets. It's been almost a year and I get really really bad and I don't see any way out I just don't trust my parents. I've told my friend everything who has the same and self harmed and their parents found out but I feel like I can't I really can't idk
Hanna's Pets I am so sorry sweet girl! My heart aches for you! I want you to know that you do have a purpose in this world! You would not be here if you didn't! Your soul, your personality, your heart and your thoughts have a purpose! Depression is a sickening illness that unfortunately effects a lot of us. It's so hard to fight but it is possible. Your parents probably aren't educated on mental illness and how crippling it is. Don't hate them for it because you need them especially in this time. Keep trying to explain your hurt and that you need help. I'm so happy that you do have a friend that is there for you, but do try to find an adult that can get you help. Maybe try setting up an appointment with your school therapist if you can. Just please please, never give up. Trust me depression does get better I promise! You will learn how to cope with it and to heal. Be kind to yourself and love yourself for who you are even your flaws and imperfections. You are a beautiful soul! Please always remember that! Just keep saying to yourself everyday! Thought control the heart and eventually controls your actions. Just know you have someone to talk too! I'm here if you need advice ❤️️ be strong gorgeous! Your life is worth it! ❤️️❤️️❤️️
Alexandria Bullock I'm gonna try to tell them this weekend with my friend maybe two I'm just scared and I don't know how to do this but I know it's time because I've done bad things today
You got this girl! But the longer you wait the harder it becomes to tell that person. Don't even worry about it non of us are perfect! I have done a lot of things I'm not proud of too! Forgive yourself! It's the best thing you can do! Just keep moving forward and don't dwell on your past! It won't do you any good. Just keep pushing forward. Your doing good girl
I wanted to tell my mom to tell her I think I had depression but I sat there for about an hour. But now I can try to write a letter. I don't know if she's going to believe it because for me to say it I just make me nervous to say anything.... thanks for helping me I will edit this to tell you how this goes. 😫
I'm only 13 and I was diagnosed with chronic depression. I have attempted suicide multiple times. my parents don't know that I have, and I need to talk to them about this. I don't even know how though. please help. :/ I would bring a friend to do it with, but I have just strayed away from them... I have talked to them about wanting to do it, but again they don't know. I have also had a mental breakdown because I just feel like I can't do anything right. my mom said she understands stuff like feeling depressed. but she hasn't attempted suicide ever. I feel alone on this one and I just feel left out of everything. I've slept it off a lot but it doesn't work anymore. I have also tried talking to my mom through letters text but I just can't. I am getting help but it doesn't work I'm on meds I go to the counselor once a month and sometimes once a week. I just feel I need to talk to my mom but I can't... I'm also homeschooled because I feel like an outsider at school. this has also been getting worse since I was 5 I've always felt unimportant... I have always had depression when I was a little kid my parents could tell. now I just shut everyone out, I don't know what to do to be honest. I know suicide will make things worse for other people, and cutting won't "help" either. self harm to me just distracts me from my emotional pain with physical pain. I just want more help... P.S. nice Jonas brothers singing! ~Noah from Florida
Omg thank you so much for sharing your story! I know how hard it is to share and be vulnerable with people. I know you can talk to your mom. You just told me how you are feeling. I know its so so hard trust me but i know you can tell her. Im sure anything you talk to her about wont be anything she hasnt heard before. Just remember she wants to help. She isnt out to hurt you or think badly of you. She is your mom. One thing i do know about depression is that your cannot fight it alone. you need support! I know it so hard but i know you be able to fight it so much better if you get support from people who love you. also maybe you should try a diffrent medication. Maybe talk to your doctor and tell him/her that the meds arent working. but trusts me support from people around you makes a HUGE difference in your recovery. i know you can do this. I think a letter is a great way to start. keep trying! dont ever give up. you deserve to be happy and to live a healthy life. you cannot fight this alone! please do this for yourself and your family that loves you. I hope you can keep going strong! please just remeber with the right help depression is treatable. you can be happy. Thank you so much for sharing your story! you are such a beautiful person inside and out! you are so valued and you have a purpose! Please stay strong i know you can do this!
I watched this and after I told my parents it was hard I have to admit but it was fine and I felt much better after if you feel like you cant I know you can because I just did and I didn’t think I could I also told my very close best friend first so that might help more
I’m not sure if I have depression or not. All the tests I took said I am depressed but I’m only 11 and have parents who I feel like won’t respond the way I want them to. I’m still too scared to tell them😫I’m right next to my older sister and I’m debating whether I should tell her or not 😰
Do you have any advice on how to let your teachers know you have anxiety or stressed out? I have really bad anxiety and get nervous just talking to my teachers asking a question, I have a couple big tests coming up that I'm really nervous about. I am a really good student but get really nervous and stressed about test and presentations. I tend to shake a lot all the time, is this a bad thing? Btw u just gained a subscriber❤️😘
Omg yea! Well maybe you could go to your teacher after class and speak with them privately, and just be honest. Don't feel ashamed or nervous to tell someone those things because your teachers may be able to help you in a lot of ways. You could also maybe set up a parent teacher conference and have your parents there to help you explain if your nervous. Or even just have a friend that your close too come with you to talk to the teacher. But don't be nervous at all! You can be strong and just tell yourself you can do it and your not going to let anxiety control you. I know it's not that easy lol but just try because you may surprise yourself 😉 and thank you so much for subscribing! That means so much! I hope that helped but if you have any other questions or just need to talk I'm here
+Alexandria Bullock do you have any tips on how to sleep better at night? For example I either can't fall asleep or stay asleep because I'm thinking about or worrying about something.
Well I like to drink a sleepy time tea before bed like the yogi teas are good! Also maybe try reading a book to calm your mind. And don't go to bed with your phone in your hand I know it's super hard but your phone will stimulate your mind. And this is going to sound stupid but if I cant go to sleep and need to calm my mind i count to 100 it really does help. I also really like going to Pandora and putting on the spa radio that always helps 😁😉
After a really hard move to AL my Mom asked if I was feeling depressed because I kind of seemed like it, I told her no because at the time I wasn't feeling like that, but after a few months I started to feel depressed and suicidal. I'm terrified to tell her and I don't know why....
I struggle with depression and anxiety and im with out help ive had it scince I was 7 my mom doesn't understand me i kinda talked about but they dont think i have it and im homeschooled so that helps not people say it's easy but it its not
I am so sorry for what your going through! It is so so hard to go through depression. I couldn't imagine going through it alone. Depression is a tricky thing. It comes and goes as it pleases. But I strongly encourage you to just know that depression is not the only thing in life. In the moment it seems as if you will feel that way forever but I promise it does get better. Depression is something you can learn to cope with and life a happy life through. Please know that you are beautiful. Depression is not who you are. There is help out there. Try to find a good psychiatrist and therapist who can help you. With both of those and support from friends and family i believe you can overcome anything. Please keep your head held high and know that it will get better
+Seven Perfect Pretty Funny Girl Ilovefood aw why would she get mad at you? getting bullied is not your fault and certainly not a joke. You need to speak up for yourself and get help
My mum just says I’m feeling sad and it’s hormones and this morning at breakfast I was just crying and I just felt really bad and she got cross with me and said, “Do you think this is good for me? Do you think I’m enjoying this?” as though me feeling depressed all the time is harming her more than it’s harming me.
Thank u so much for this vid I am so afraid of doing this and I’m scared of what my mom or dad would do. My friends now but I’m just really scared to tell my mom or dad.
FIrst off, You arent crazy! I thought that for years but than I learned there are others who struggle with the same things. you arent alone!! dont be embarrased because we all have something we are fighting! no one is perfect!
+7FabulousGirls 7 i am so proud of you!! that is really the first step in healing! i am so glad your doing this for yourself!! and i am so sorry to hear about your mom! if you ever need to talk you can always message me!!
I think I've been acting happy for so long that my mom can't see... Only two of my friends know, telling them took allot of weight off me but I just wish my mom understood and wouldn't call me hypochondriac. It hurts...
Hi my name is megan im 10 years old and live in texas this is my story: My suicidal thoughts happend i was 8 .i dont knoow why but i was unhappy with my weight. I also did not like my skin tone.im Mexican.i always wanted to be a lighter skin tone.Next when i was 9 i weighed 88 pounds.thats when i started saying "why am i alive"? By 10 i was 71 pounds because i stopped eating.i took a belt a wrapped it around my neck in rhe bathroom.i was crying.i do that almost 3 times a week.im going to tell my parents now. Wish me luck
My mom is awesome but she is not exactly understanding. She would blame it one my age, she would say oh it’s just normal teenage stuff. I’ve looked at the difference between that and actual clinical depression.
Ugh... I know that this is the problem I have. And I would just me embarrassed to speak up about it. My parents would just say “You are probably just growing up, your emotional” but I know that I have depression.
I’ve told my friends and they never make a big deal about they just act like I’m trying to get attention but I’m not I’m just trying to tell people my feeling and I’m scared if my parents will do the same thing
whenever i tell my dad that i probably have depression and i feel like i have depression he always says how oh “i don’t even pay bills so how can i be depressed!” and he never believes me. and me and my mom don’t have a good relationship, she never wants me around her..i don’t wanna be on this earth anymore because everyone treats me like garbage
Im so so sorry you have to go through what you're going through right now. Life does get better. I know it looks like it won't ever, but i promise it will. I have seen others in a very similar situation as you and they did get through it and live very happy lives now. Please don't give up! Life can be beautiful! there is so much to live for and so much to look forward to. God put you on this earth for a reason, you have a purpose. What I would do in your situation is talk to a trusted friend or another family member who would listen. You could also go to your school counselor (assuming you are in school). But please don't give up yourself! you are worth more!
I want to tell my mom and I tried to tell my friend so they can help me but they sent me " lol " and I told them o was serious and they didn't know how to respond but I feel like my parents would be rly angry and not help me
Omg wow!!!! Im not sure if the friend you told is the right friend for you. Anybody that truly cared for you would try to help you. Please dont see that as a reflection of yourself. you had nothing to do with how the friend reacted. I also hope your parents would not be angry for how your feeling. If you do have something more going on than it is not your fault. I would defiantly encourage you to seek further help. If you do not it most likely will get worse.
I wrote a letter to my parents to try and tell my parents but I’m way too scared. I’m 12 and I self harm and I always feel depressed. I have a line of bloody cuts on my forearm. I managed to hide them during PE, but I can’t keep doing this forever. I’m scared they will yell at me or hit me. Every time they notice something, I tell them I’m tired or some excuse. How can I tell them?
I have had depression since I was 7 and now I'm 13. And I can't tell anyone because I don't know how to. And everyday I want to but I can't. I have tried to give hints but I can't and it just gets worse and worse everyday and I have started having suicidal thoughts since I was 9. And no one knows .
I couldn't do it. I tryed to talk to my mom but she changed the subject. I then tried the letter idea and left it on her pillow for her to find. well ten minutes later it when through tge paper shredder then on a bonfire as a precaution. I can't do it :'(:'(:'(
OMG!!! wow i cannot believe your mom would act that way! well i would defiantly try talking to someone else in your family that can help you. Keep trying and dont give up! this is your life we are talking about! you deserve to be happy! please stay strong. And just remember, the way your mom acted toward you was very selfish and unkind and is defiantly not a reflection on you. You are worth so much more!
Dear mom, I think when dad left i learned to turn the hurt into sadness and sadness to being busy so when i say i really busy i mean im watching spongebob on the couch.
I'm just worried because I'm not sure if I even have depression. I've only felt this way for about 2-3 weeks, but it's been terrible. I feel like I'm over reacting, and I'll sound silly. I don't know if I'm just being a drama queen, or if I truly have depression. Also, I already have GAD, but I'm not really sure if that matters
No matter how long you've been experiencing these feelings, its still worth it to get help. the longer you wait the harder it will be. you life matters enough to possibly explore the reason you are feeling this way and possibly get support if you need it.
I don’t know what to do. I don’t have any close friends to talk to. I’m always hurting so much and think I’m depressed. But I’m to scared to talk about it to anyone. Everyone thinks I’m a happy person. It’s all an act. I cry myself to sleep every night. I need help, before I end up killing myself.
I am only 10 years old I feel like a failure and I've been hurting myself for almost a week and I lied that my cat did it Im scared to tell because Im scared that she won't understand and yell at me Thinking of it even makes me almost cry..............I wish a adult could tell my mom this Im very afraid right now Im trying not to cry......
So I have something to share.I have been feeling sad before but now I feel like it has gotten worse.I feel sad but I don't know the reason why.I feel like some sad soul possessed my body and I just got really sad.I don't know the reason why I'm sad but I know there a reason behind it.It may be because of all the problems I have in school and family life.But recently I have gotten more emotional.I feel useless and for now reason I just felt like crying and yeah I cried.I feel like something heavy is on my chest and goes away after crying but minutes later it comes back.And my mom called me and she was with my dad.I am really sad today so I answered the phone with I guess an upset or sad voice and she asked if I was sad or not and my dad asked me what was the problem,when they asked that I felt like crying and I almost said yes but no....I just said I was tired from school.Now,my mom and dad are a little depressed too so I don't wan to give them more problems and tell them that I am feeling sad.I feel like I don't have the right to be sad anymore.When they ask me if I'm okay I just say yes and hold back my tears.I don't want to assume that I am depressed so I have a question.Am I just sad/upset or depressed already?
Yoongi's Wife I’m so sorry about everything your going through it sucks to. Feel like that I would definitely encourage you to talk to someone about it. Possibly get help from a counselor but I I know how alone you feel and I hope you know that you aren’t
My mom or dad just say “there is nothing to be sad about so suck it up” or “your tired, go to sleep” or “Your period is coming huh?” I have not had my period yet. Help. My parents don’t even the acknowledge the fact that I have anxiety attacks a lot to. They think it is because of my age. They think because I’m young I don’t feel deep sadness and anxiety. But I do. HELP!!!
I just made a letter about how I feel (I'm 11) and I'm gonna give it to my mom in the morning I'm reply scared but I know this is the best for me any advise?
+Alexandria Bullock I feel like my mom brushed it off😭 we where talking after school and she said if I whant help I need to tell her what's wrong... I told her mostly what's wrong but missed a few things so I asked if we can talk Tomarrow... we never talked the next day. and the next. so now I feel like she doesn't really care...
+Collapsed Cupcake maybe you should try and ask to talk to her again just too see what she says. If you feel like you need help then you should defiantly do everything you can to receive it
ummm i stuggling with depression but i don't cut or do any of thoese things do you still suggest i get help because i am sad and i feel empty and i cry some night i'm just scared
paytin Jailin awww first off I just want you to know that it's going to be okay. You can fight this! And yea I think it would be a good idea to talk to someone about it. Get some support
Omg you are so amazing! I am so so happy for you! That all I ever wanted out of this video! This is literally all I want for you is to life a happy full life! I am so proud of you! Please stay strong! I am literally so so happy for you
I tried to tell them (my mom spefically) she didn't believe me she said that I was to young to be going through a lot my mom told me that im to young to even know the meaning of depression.
There is one problem though: My family doesn't really have the money to send me to a therapist. I know because they told me that they struggle a bit with money and all of that. I am afraid to tell them because if they don't take me seriously than I might...commit suicide just because I have no one. I don't have any close or understanding friends (my bff left me for the "popular girls") and I think that if I tell my school's therapist I would have to pay for it. I am in a crisis basically If my parents won't understand. I am afraid of telling my parents because my dad could yell at me for trying to escape all the work that they give me or he would say that it's just an excuse for being lazy. All I want is help, is that too much?
I tell my parents that there is a problem and I can't say what my problem is and it's so frustrating cuz I just can't tell them and I really want to. They took my phone away to get me to talk but I just can't it's so hard
I know exactly where your at. But I think the best thing to do is to tell them what's going on I know it's hard, it's one of the hardest things to do. But I'm sure they want to help! Just think of it has taking a step towards a better life for yourself. Getting help is so crucial so you can learn how to cope with difficult situations. No one wants to fight it alone
+Maddie Clark that is so awesome! im so proud of you! and im so glad that you told someone and are finding a helping hand! cause i know its not easy! if you ever have any questions or need someone to talk to you can always message me! i hope everything goes well in therapy
My dad never cares about me and my mum just shouts at me all the time and when I told her I was very upset all the time she said it was just boys going through puberty 🙁
Harry Hudson omg I'm so sorry! That really sucks! Honestly sometimes (depending on your situation) parents aren't the best people to go to. Sometimes it's better to go to another family member or a close friend or even a school counselor. Please don't give up. Your parents reaction isn't because of who you are or anything you did it's a reflection of who they are and how they feel. Please know that!
When I told my mom. She just said "Stop that". She also called me ugly when I don't smile. My father thinks it's just a phase. My teachers, they don't understand. After that, I don't know anymore. I don't have the motivation to do homework, play, or even do my favorite hobby. I would always lie on my bed thinking why am I alive. Please. If you don't like bad thoughts or self harm, please go away from this comment. Trigger warning. I actually did self harm to myself by using a sharp cutted ballpen. Slowly Kept on scarring and scraping my hands, Face and legs to death and Starving myself because people think I'm getting fat. I don't have the confidence to do anything anymore. And I Just felt suicide thoughts. I just don't have a choice anymore.. I just want it all to end......... I just want to die.😔 I'm sorry.
Omg i have so been exactly where you are! okay I would start simple. do you feel sad? do you feel anxious? do you feel tired? things like that. Once we figure those out we can dive deeper into what else is routed from those. Im here for you if you ever need someone
I think i have depression cause i struggle with self confidence and cry myself to sleep most nights and i end up crying in public places and i loes my anger very eaisly and i dont know how to tell my parents cause im to scared. I usally fake a smile most of the time so no one will notice my struggles😔
Aww sweetie! I am so sorry! I know your pain! But I'm here to tell you that depression is hard but it is possible to get through. If you feel like that I do think you need to get help and support from people who love and care about you. Keeping everything inside and trying to tell deal with it alone only makes it worse. Trust m I tried for years and I only got worse. It wasn't until I had help from my family that I started to heal. I know you can do this! Do this for you, do this for your future and and your family. Your family and friends need you. The world needs you! Please stay strong and fight! I know it's hard, but you can do this ❤️
I need help I am terrified to tell anyone my parents my siblings or my friend I am so sceard I am crying right now I think Avery one will laugh and blow it of. I have even hurt my self I need someone to talk to but I don't know who please help me!!
katie Hamilton awww girl! Don't be afraid! A lot of people go through depression! Please get some help from someone! I would encourage you to tell your parents. You may need to get treatment. Please know you are loved and have a purpose on this earth! You are so much more than you think you are! God said your worth more than rubies💎 please understand how crucial it is to get help and support. If you are already thinking of hurting yourself it's time to get help. Maybe try writing your parents a letter explaining how you feel! That's what I did and it was so much easier that way! Please don't give up! You need to tell someone. It's so much easier to deal with if you have help ❤️❤️❤️ you can always message me on Instagram if you need someone to talks to
I’ve tried to tell my mum about it over and over but she think it’s nothing and it’s just hormones and it really makes me sad to see that she doesn’t really care, does anyone know a way for me to tell my mum?
Alana Banana you could ask her to see someone. Tell her you need help because you don’t know how to deal with it all. Please stay strong! You can do this!
first of all. you can’t exactly KNOW you’re depressed until you get a doctors help so why would i tell my parents i’m feeling this way if i don’t even know ??
adrianna that’s why I said I’m the the title... telling your parents your FEELING depressed. I never say to self diagnose. But you do need to start somewhere.
I have depression by people saying that I'm stupid and retarded and I got really sad but I haven't told my mom is dad and my mom is the closest to me and my sister suffered depression too and I'm scared they will be made about how I feel thank you for the video
Kaelee Thomas I’m so sorry for all that your going through! People can be so mean! I hope you know that that in no way is who you are! I think you need to tell someone in your family. Maybe start with your sister since she deals with depression to. Maybe she will understand ❤️ just know that things will get better and it doesn’t last forever ❤️ stay strong beautiful
I hope you're doing okay! And I hope you know you aren't alone!! Please tell someone you trust how you are feeling. They can help you through everything. Stay Strong

My mum would probably say "You're not depressed. You're just upset."
I'm so sorry that your mom isn't very supportive! Maybe try to confide in a friend or other family member
Alexandria Bullock thanks and i will. I'll probably talk to my aunt cuz my dad isnt emm... Isn't really my dad.
gotcha! well im so so happy that your taking this step!! i really really hope everything goes well! well if you ever need anyone to talk to you can always dm me on instagram ;) im really so proud of you
Alexandria Bullock thank you :)
You know the struggle
I have depression but im only 13, im afraid to tell my parents because they would say, "its just hormones" or something
Flying Hipo I also had depression at a very young age so I completely understand how you feel! It can be the scariest thing to tell someone these things but I really do think it's necessary to confide in someone especially an adult that can get you help and treatment if needed. It's so hard to reach out for help with depression but it's even harder to fight it alone! I know it's so hard but try to have courage and speak out for help because it's very hard to fight depression by yourself
Flying Hipo you not alone. I have been trying to tell my parents for three months but they just say it is those hormones shooting around my body. it is not as it started when I was ten. but I blew it off until it got worse and worse. I wish you luck though.
Flying Hipo same I've tried to tell them before and they were just like your sad it's a phase stop being such a sook it's puberty
Flying Hipo i think my parents also thought it was a phase when i was younger but as i got older i didnt grow out of it. please stay strong and know your not alonr
yes Same!
I'm so scared to tell my parents. Only my two best friends know. I love them to bits but I didn't even tell them in person. I'm so scared 😢😵😳😔
Aw it's ok to be scared I was too! But just keep reminding yourself it's the best thing for you!!
thank you so much your such an inspiration xxxxx
+I'm not cool omg thank you so so much!! just remember that you are stronger than you think! dont ever let anything stop you from living the best life you can! dont let depression control you!! i saw this one quote that said "dont let your struggle become your identity". you can do this!!
AbiLou2663 omg thats litterly exactly what I did
AbiLou2663 i just told my mom and i was so scered but she just wants to help me so pllllllzzzzz tel them becouse it realy helps i told her whit whats app that realy helpt just klick that sand button you wont ergert it you can do it
I dont want to kill myself but I want to die. How can I fix this? I never want to kill myself because I'm too scared of how my family would be after I would do it. But, im so sick of life. I dont want to go to school, do homework. I force myself to hangout with friends because i think it will help but it doesnt. I ride horses and adore it but it's hard because it's an expensive sport. Really the only thing keeping me going is my parents. I'm terrified to tell them this though because im their little girl and it would break their hearts. I've been diagnosed with anxiety but not depression. I take medicine for anxiety and sleep insomnia but it hasnt been working. I dont know what to do! Please help!
+Ponyef I just told my mom and I think I just made her sad. She said it's stupid to think like that. Like I know it is I just feel ten times worse now. I know she cares but I think she just doesnt know how to reply. Im freaking idk what to do. I love my mom and dad so much but im just so sad. Like my life isnt even bad. Half of the time idk why i am sad my parents give me what I need and even stuff I want but like im so sad! Why am I like this???????? I hate life. My heart hurts for my parents! I feel like I cause more stress then they ever need. Idk idkidk what to to! Like i wanna take all of my sleep pills and just fall asleep but i dont want to not have my mommy and daddy. Im christian too and if you commit suicide you dont go to heaven. She said she needs to take me to hospital tomorrow! I dont want to go. Help
+Ponyef omg girl you seem like the sweetest girl ever! i am so sorry you are going through this!! but my situation is very similar to yours. i have amazing parents who support and love me no matter what. even though i have a very very blessed life i still get depressed and sometimes i question why i feel so down sometimes. but it may not be anything to do with your outside surroundings. sometimes we have hormonal imbalances that make us feel like we are on a roller coaster ride with our emotions. i remember my depression getting so bad i couldn't even go to school or I would have to leave work. but God is such an essential part of my life. If it weren't for him i probably would have committed suicide a long time ago. When i feel like that i just think of my family and friends, how they would feel if i left them in such a terrible way. i think of how God put me on this earth of a specific reason. dont ever give up, dont let depression win! dont let satin win! and i do have to say that if you are a christian and you have been saved through jesus that you can never ever do anything to lose that salvation. no matter what you do as long as your saved you will go to heaven! it says in the bible. so dont worry about it girl thats what jesus died on the cross for so that we might be saved and it is only through his grace and not our actions that let us into heaven. I also want to say that having support from your family and friends and the people that truly care for you will help you so so much! its really hard to carry something so so heavy by yourself, that's what friends and family are for. you need support going through this
Thanks so much. This really helped. My mom was better today and I think I just scared her. I love how nice and supportive you are to everyone. I went and talked to my doctor and she helped a little too. I could never ever go through with anything like suicide because I know it would her my parents too much. Yesterday I just snapped. It was like a build up of people being rude at school and to drama at the barn I ride at and even to friend issues. It was the perfect storm. I made some changes today. I'm switching from the barn I was at because really the people there were such bullies and now i've found one 10x better. I also asked my teacher to move me from the mean people and not that I liked it, she ended up speaking to them. But, yes God and my parents are my rock and they really have helped since I told them. Thanks so much for the advice!
+Ponyef that's good that you have your parents to count on! Don't ever take that for granted! Just know that you'll always have someone to talk to I'm always here if you need advice or a friend! Thank you so much for contacting me! I hope you can get further help and just know that depression doesn't control you! I'm so happy that I could help you in some way!!
You really have helped! If it weren't for this video I probably would have kept it all bottled up! You're a great person please don't ever stop doing what you're doing! The world needs more people like you.
thank you so much for this video.
Omg yes of course! I hope it helped in some way!! 😘
I love how you said that you should live a happy life and how I deserve it😌❤️
It's true for everyone! Thank you for watching and I wish you so much love ❤️
This helped me so much! My parents already know I have anxiety! Thank you so much!
+ianzailey Omg you are so welcome!! i am so glad that it helped you! literally thats all i want! thank you!!!
My parents are very strict about depression. I'm 13. They think it's hormones but they don't understand how bad it is. I need help. My mom has it but I'm not supposed to know. (I was snooping)
how can i tell them if i dont know why
Well depression can be for a lot of different reasons! Sometime you will never know why you are feeling like that until you see a doctor or therapist. I would really express to them how you feel.. That you feel sad a lot and you don't know why. And they don't listen go to a teacher or school counselor. But definitely try talking to your parents
I'm so scared to tell my parents I feel depressed! My sister tried telling my parents she thought she might have had anxiety, and my parents looked at her and said "You do not have anxiety, it's just a stressful time of your life. You may go now." They didn't even let her give her reasons! My dad said she just said that for attention. she did not. she told me all about how she feels and I wanted to help her in any way, but my parents will deny anything she says about a disorder. I feel that they'll shut me down too...
Honest Speaker I am so sorry! That's not right! Some people have a hard time opening up their hearts and minds to mental illness because they don't know anything about it or they don't see any physical symptoms. Depression is an ugly sickness! I would encourage you to start with your parents first. Try your best to explain to them or you could even write them a letter. I think writing them a letter is a great way to tell them without actually having to speak the words. If that fails I would suggest going to a grandparent or school counselor. I know you can do this. Just know depression doesn't last forever. It will get better! Stay strong and keep fighting! ❤️️
Thanks for making this video. It really helped me. :) p.s. I love your kitty!
Omg you are so welcome!! Anything I can do to help!! I hope you can get the support you need! Please keep me updated! If you ever you need someone to talk to you can always message me!! You deserve to be happy and don't ever forget that!!
My dad walked over to me in the middle of this video and I told him. A huge weight has been lifted off my mind and I feel so thankful because I was ready for someone to know
Troye with Grapes omg that’s sooooo amazing!!! I’m so freaking happy for you!!! Yesssss!!!! Omg 😍❤️😍❤️😍 I couldn’t be happier for you!!! I’m so glad your getting the support you need! Best wishes with everything! Definitely keep me updated ❤️
I accidently told my mom I'm depressed and she just told me I'm fine I have nothing to be depressed about...I soon later told her I was joking. I feel alone and I really want someone to know, but I told my friend which just laughed as it was a joke. My mom doesn't understand depression. I don't know what to do. Help?
Twentyone Crybabies! At Halsey's Disco first off I want to say that I'm sorry that your going through this! Depression is a serious health condition. If you have a school counselor I would go to her/him tell them your situation and then have the school counselor call your mom and explain that this is not a joke. The more support you have the better... you could also try telling another family member that you might think will understand
Thank you so much for posting this video! Now that I have seen this I can talk to my mom🙂
The P&L Factory omg 😭😭😭😭 I’m so so so happy! I’ve got this! 😍😘😍
Alexandria Bullock Im glad you saw my comment! I talked to my mom and she has been helping me lately😁
i'm a little late, but i just found this video. agh i'm just so bad with touchy-feely-emotiony things with other people and i have been depressed for a while, probably at least 2 years. but i've finally decided that i can't live like this and this isn't how it should be and i need to get help, like you said, you can't do this alone. i am blessed to know that i at least have supportive parents, and I know my mom is familiar with depression and other disorders, but it's so hard to open up when i never have before to anyone. i love my mom, but i'm afraid that if i tell her she will think it's her fault and i can't have her blaming herself. hopefully i can do this haha, thank you for the video it helped me gain courage
Alexandria Bullock thank you so much for making this video! This video helped me a lot because I have not told my parents even though I have been depressed since I was 11 and now I'm 14. I haven't told them because I'm afraid they will send me back to a mental hospital which is my biggest fear.
feather heart408 omg you are so welcome! Thank you so much for being brave enough to want and seek help! It isn’t easy to share your struggles but it is sometimes necessary! I hope that you get well and aren’t afraid to take the steps you need to heal. I’m so proud of you!! ❤️❤️
I am depressed and I have struggled to tell them thank you
i know how yo eel! but just know your not alone
Thank you so much for this video. I have now plucked up the courage to try talk to my mom today. Thank you for your encouraging words!❤️terrified tho
Omg you are so welcome! thank you for watching! im so glad I could encourage and inspire you! i hope everything goes well
Alexandria Bullock omg!! Ur advice helped me so much and my mom is always there for me❤️it's all thanks to you!
Thank you for this video. I am going to give my aunt a letter. She is a psychiatrist and I'm hoping she will be able to understand and will care because of that. My mom isn't the right person to talk to sadly.
Aw well I think that's a great idea!! I'm so glad your getting help!
I rly want to tell my mom that I think I'm depressed but I never get the courage to do so and my mom has battled with post-pardom depression so I know she will understand but I just can't get the courage pls help
It takes so much courage and strength to reach out for help. Maybe try writing her a letter or texting her if you can speak. I know it's so hard to speak up but just remember it's the very best for you! You need support
I’m going to tell my mum soon! Really excited to finally get help after so long!!! Rlly rlly nervous tho 😬😬❤️❤️👍🏻
Amy Driscoll YAYAYA IM LITERALLY SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! I’ll be praying you will get the help you need!
Could you maybe so a video on trying to be... free?
My parents are pretty over protective about most things and I struggle doing certain things.
Im 12 and i just try but it just never comes out my mouth
I feel depressed and I'm even on meds! The reason I'm so depressed is because of my father and his girlfriend. They like to take away things that bring me confidence and make me happy. I'm so depressed over it and my brother is mad at me because I don't want to live with them anymore.
My heart is breaking for you! this must be so hard for you! you are so incredibly strong! well I defiantly think its worth trying to talk to your dad about how you feel. I know its hard because you might be angry but the best thing is to communicate. If that doesnt end up working out than maybe if your mom is still in your life try talking with her about it to. also i would defiantly try to mend things with your brother. family is the most important thing in life i know it doesnt seem like that right now but i promise they are. Please stay strong nothing lasts forever and this time will fade from your life. you can do this!!
My parents are depressed and it's making me be ughhh. They've both tried killing themselves. They're getting a divorce. They're both on drugs for the depression that aren't working. I feel like I could fall apart. I feel like they don't love me because they wanted to die and leave me. I used to self harm but came over it by myself. They don't know about it. I want to be happy again. I don't even know what to do.
+Agtubelauren this is so heartbreaking to hear! I am so sorry that you have to go through all of that! well i have some things that may help. Now, I don't know the exact situation or your relationships with your parents but just like anyone with depression, they need to be shown that people care and want to help. Maybe do fun things with your parents like go outside to get some fresh air... exercise really helps people with depression because it helps your endorphin level to raise helping you become in a better mood. Also, maybe help around the house like cleaning. Now I do realize that this situation is not healthy and can also take a huge tole on your emotional health. I want you to make sure that you are also getting the help you need too! going through something like that even if the illness isnt exactly yours, can be quite traumatic. Just make sure you have a good support system around you rather that be friends, coworkers, or even teachers. Just talking about it can help! I am really sorry that you have to go through this. But just realize that some situations are out of your control. If you have done the very best you can physically and mentally for your parents then just realize that that is enough! if the situation becomes too much, then step away from it. go to a friend or family members house for the weekend. Now talking about suicide, I have actually thought about it before and wanted to do it. I do just want to say in no means does that mean that your parents don't love you. They aren't thinking about you or your needs at the moment and in a way are just thinking about themselves but it does not mean they don't love you. When I was thinking about committing suicide I still loved all my family and friends but was only thinking about the fact I didn't want to be here anymore. I soon realized that that was the wrong prospective to have and that i was put on this earth for a reason. Well I really just would encourage you to do some research on how to deal with this situation and also maybe get some more opinions about it. I hope that was helpful! please feel free to message me if you have any questions or just need someone to talk too! I really do hope things get better just try and be positive it gets you way father than being negative! Stay strong!
Thank you I never thought I would be able to.
+Geni saunders omg you are so welcome!! i truly believe anyone can fight depression you just have to believe you can!!
doctor : How do u feel?
Me: like the air in a balloon.
Doctor : Do you cry often?
Me : If i feel like a balloon, like just air, i nearly can't cry, cause i just feel - nothing.
I do believe I have depression. I have all the symptoms but it is not impossible to live with it alone. I have had depression for years and years. I haven't told anyone yet. Most night I cry myself to sleep or I don't sleep. I don't want pills or therapist. Thanks for the video. I will stay home from school today and tell her I even have a full 3 pages of what I need to tell her to make her understand how long I have had it.
I'm so scared, but I'm going to tell my mom about my depression.
stacy r omg that’s amazing! Taking that first step is always hard but it’s so worth it for your quality of life! I’m so proud of you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have depression and I’m only 11 they are going to say that I’m not and I don’t know what it means but I do some days I just want to die and everything I NEED help no one will except me 😭😭😭😭😭😪🤕
I'm getting EVERY depression symptom. I need to tell someone in my family. I've told my brother.. sorta and my friend my friend cared because she has it. Depression runs in my family my mom and brother has it. I'm not sure if I should tell my grandma which I'm very close to or my mom when I walk with her and talk. Please give me a responses
Olivia's Baby Alives & more I am so sorry your going through all this! Depression is so hard to cope with! But it is something you can fight. Maybe confide in your mom if she's the one who lives with you and you see her on a day to day basis. She will probably be able to help you more
Olivia Marie your lucky you know your moms depressed. Tell your mom about it and if you want,ask to keep it private. Trust me,she will understand you.
But for me I can't.... my mum isn't depressed and I'm only 10... she wouldn't understand,IR believe me. Please respond to me,I need help.
thank you sooo much I'm going to go talk to my guidence counselor when I go back to school and hopefully I can get my mom to understand
That is perfect! I am so glad that your trying to help yourself! I really hope everything goes well! Please keep me updated!
I'm going to try and tell my parents this weekend and I'm really nervous about it.
+Maryg26 that is amazing!! that is a great step in getting better! im so proud of you for that! it takes a lot of courage to talk about it! but just take a deep breath because you can do it!! i know you can! If i can do trust me you can too! I hope your doing ok!! and i really hope you get better and everything goes well!!
I'll tell my parents
That's amazing! I'm so proud of you!
I think I have depression. I've been depressed and made things or had thoughts that for me or not normal. I researched depression alot and asked my friends for help. The problem is, I'm only 11. I'm afraid my parents and I would get to a conflict or they would say: "It's just hormones" Or "you're too young.. " Please can someone give me more advice please it could help alot!!
I've done bad things because of depression. I tried talking to my mom but she said I was just upset over losing my pets. It's been almost a year and I get really really bad and I don't see any way out I just don't trust my parents. I've told my friend everything who has the same and self harmed and their parents found out but I feel like I can't I really can't idk
Hanna's Pets I am so sorry sweet girl! My heart aches for you! I want you to know that you do have a purpose in this world! You would not be here if you didn't! Your soul, your personality, your heart and your thoughts have a purpose! Depression is a sickening illness that unfortunately effects a lot of us. It's so hard to fight but it is possible.

Keep trying to explain your hurt and that you need help. I'm so happy that you do have a friend that is there for you, but do try to find an adult that can get you help. Maybe try setting up an appointment with your school therapist if you can. Just please please, never give up. Trust me depression does get better I promise! You will learn how to cope with it and to heal. Be kind to yourself and love yourself for who you are even your flaws and imperfections. You are a beautiful soul! Please always remember that! Just keep saying to yourself everyday! Thought control the heart and eventually controls your actions. Just know you have someone to talk too! I'm here if you need advice ❤️️ be strong gorgeous! Your life is worth it! ❤️️❤️️❤️️
Alexandria Bullock I'm gonna try to tell them this weekend with my friend maybe two I'm just scared and I don't know how to do this but I know it's time because I've done bad things today
You got this girl! But the longer you wait the harder it becomes to tell that person. Don't even worry about it non of us are perfect! I have done a lot of things I'm not proud of too! Forgive yourself! It's the best thing you can do! Just keep moving forward and don't dwell on your past! It won't do you any good. Just keep pushing forward. Your doing good girl
I wanted to tell my mom to tell her I think I had depression but I sat there for about an hour. But now I can try to write a letter. I don't know if she's going to believe it because for me to say it I just make me nervous to say anything.... thanks for helping me I will edit this to tell you how this goes. 😫
Omg im so proud of you!!! I really hope it went well!
telling my bff (guy) is one of the easiest ways to reach out to😃😉"he went through this too..he knew it well "..he took it easily !!😃😉😎😍😘😗😆😄😃😀
That's amazing! I'm so proud of you! Glad you could tell someone! 😍😘😘
I might tell my mom this weekend 😟😶
You really should! Don't be afraid. Everything will be ok you just have to take that first step
+Alexandria Bullock I will My friend is going to help me find the words thank you
+Mystery Dancer that's awesome! I really hope everything goes well
+Alexandria Bullock thank you so much
your so welcome!!
I'm only 13 and I was diagnosed with chronic depression. I have attempted suicide multiple times. my parents don't know that I have, and I need to talk to them about this. I don't even know how though. please help. :/
I would bring a friend to do it with, but I have just strayed away from them...
I have talked to them about wanting to do it, but again they don't know. I have also had a mental breakdown because I just feel like I can't do anything right. my mom said she understands stuff like feeling depressed. but she hasn't attempted suicide ever. I feel alone on this one and I just feel left out of everything. I've slept it off a lot but it doesn't work anymore. I have also tried talking to my mom through letters text but I just can't. I am getting help but it doesn't work I'm on meds I go to the counselor once a month and sometimes once a week. I just feel I need to talk to my mom but I can't... I'm also homeschooled because I feel like an outsider at school. this has also been getting worse since I was 5 I've always felt unimportant... I have always had depression when I was a little kid my parents could tell. now I just shut everyone out, I don't know what to do to be honest. I know suicide will make things worse for other people, and cutting won't "help" either. self harm to me just distracts me from my emotional pain with physical pain. I just want more help...
P.S. nice Jonas brothers singing!

Omg thank you so much for sharing your story! I know how hard it is to share and be vulnerable with people. I know you can talk to your mom. You just told me how you are feeling. I know its so so hard trust me but i know you can tell her. Im sure anything you talk to her about wont be anything she hasnt heard before. Just remember she wants to help. She isnt out to hurt you or think badly of you. She is your mom. One thing i do know about depression is that your cannot fight it alone. you need support! I know it so hard but i know you be able to fight it so much better if you get support from people who love you. also maybe you should try a diffrent medication. Maybe talk to your doctor and tell him/her that the meds arent working. but trusts me support from people around you makes a HUGE difference in your recovery. i know you can do this. I think a letter is a great way to start. keep trying! dont ever give up. you deserve to be happy and to live a healthy life. you cannot fight this alone! please do this for yourself and your family that loves you. I hope you can keep going strong! please just remeber with the right help depression is treatable. you can be happy. Thank you so much for sharing your story! you are such a beautiful person inside and out! you are so valued and you have a purpose! Please stay strong i know you can do this!
thank you, I think I'm going to tell her today. but I'm nervous...
Omg you can totally do this! know you can ! by the way did you do it?
I watched this and after I told my parents it was hard I have to admit but it was fine and I felt much better after if you feel like you cant I know you can because I just did and I didn’t think I could I also told my very close best friend first so that might help more
Today I'm going to try and tell my mom. I'm scared because she might not care
that is so amazing! im so proud of you! Well i wouldnt see why she has a reason not to care! shes your mom she loves you!
The title says how to tell your parents you're FEELING depressed.
the reason for that is because i didnt want anyone to diagnose themselves. I dont think someone should do that. It should be done by a doctor
I’m not sure if I have depression or not. All the tests I took said I am depressed but I’m only 11 and have parents who I feel like won’t respond the way I want them to. I’m still too scared to tell them😫I’m right next to my older sister and I’m debating whether I should tell her or not 😰
Do you have any advice on how to let your teachers know you have anxiety or stressed out? I have really bad anxiety and get nervous just talking to my teachers asking a question, I have a couple big tests coming up that I'm really nervous about. I am a really good student but get really nervous and stressed about test and presentations. I tend to shake a lot all the time, is this a bad thing? Btw u just gained a subscriber❤️😘
Omg yea! Well maybe you could go to your teacher after class and speak with them privately, and just be honest. Don't feel ashamed or nervous to tell someone those things because your teachers may be able to help you in a lot of ways. You could also maybe set up a parent teacher conference and have your parents there to help you explain if your nervous. Or even just have a friend that your close too come with you to talk to the teacher. But don't be nervous at all! You can be strong and just tell yourself you can do it and your not going to let anxiety control you. I know it's not that easy lol but just try because you may surprise yourself 😉 and thank you so much for subscribing! That means so much! I hope that helped but if you have any other questions or just need to talk I'm here
+Alexandria Bullock aww thx so much for replying so quickly! I'm gonna try to try tomorrow😝😳 thanks for the advice
+Alexandria Bullock do you have any tips on how to sleep better at night? For example I either can't fall asleep or stay asleep because I'm thinking about or worrying about something.
Well I like to drink a sleepy time tea before bed like the yogi teas are good! Also maybe try reading a book to calm your mind. And don't go to bed with your phone in your hand I know it's super hard but your phone will stimulate your mind. And this is going to sound stupid but if I cant go to sleep and need to calm my mind i count to 100 it really does help. I also really like going to Pandora and putting on the spa radio that always helps 😁😉
+Alexandria Bullock ok thanks!
After a really hard move to AL my Mom asked if I was feeling depressed because I kind of seemed like it, I told her no because at the time I wasn't feeling like that, but after a few months I started to feel depressed and suicidal. I'm terrified to tell her and I don't know why....
I struggle with depression and anxiety and im with out help ive had it scince I was 7 my mom doesn't understand me i kinda talked about but they dont think i have it and im homeschooled so that helps not people say it's easy but it its not
I am so sorry for what your going through! It is so so hard to go through depression. I couldn't imagine going through it alone. Depression is a tricky thing. It comes and goes as it pleases. But I strongly encourage you to just know that depression is not the only thing in life. In the moment it seems as if you will feel that way forever but I promise it does get better. Depression is something you can learn to cope with and life a happy life through. Please know that you are beautiful. Depression is not who you are. There is help out there. Try to find a good psychiatrist and therapist who can help you. With both of those and support from friends and family i believe you can overcome anything. Please keep your head held high and know that it will get better
Thnx i told my mom thank you so much whit out you she stil would not have know i ow you💖💖💖💖💖
I don't want to tell my Mom that i'm getting bulled because she would get mad at me (0_0) *sigh*
+Seven Perfect Pretty Funny Girl Ilovefood aw why would she get mad at you? getting bullied is not your fault and certainly not a joke. You need to speak up for yourself and get help
If u have an older sister/brother, they can understand you.
Trust me!
+Ysmn Tv yes thats totally true!!
My mum just says I’m feeling sad and it’s hormones and this morning at breakfast I was just crying and I just felt really bad and she got cross with me and said, “Do you think this is good for me? Do you think I’m enjoying this?” as though me feeling depressed all the time is harming her more than it’s harming me.
Thank u so much for this vid I am so afraid of doing this and I’m scared of what my mom or dad would do. My friends now but I’m just really scared to tell my mom or dad.
I sometimes feel in denial and embarassed of it, its so hard and i know i need help. I feel as if im going crazy.
FIrst off, You arent crazy! I thought that for years but than I learned there are others who struggle with the same things. you arent alone!! dont be embarrased because we all have something we are fighting! no one is perfect!
Im going to try to tell my dad this weekend..unsure about my mom...my
Mom dosent really care about me..
+7FabulousGirls 7 i am so proud of you!! that is really the first step in healing! i am so glad your doing this for yourself!! and i am so sorry to hear about your mom! if you ever need to talk you can always message me!!
+Alexandria Bullock thanks a bunch (this is my personal channel)
+julia brendlinger you are so welcome!! And I just subscribed to you! 😘
+Alexandria Bullock thanks subscribed to you too!
+julia brendlinger thank you so much! You are so sweet!!
I think I've been acting happy for so long that my mom can't see... Only two of my friends know, telling them took allot of weight off me but I just wish my mom understood and wouldn't call me hypochondriac. It hurts...
Hi my name is megan im 10 years old and live in texas this is my story:
My suicidal thoughts happend i was 8 .i dont knoow why but i was unhappy with my weight. I also did not like my skin tone.im Mexican.i always wanted to be a lighter skin tone.Next when i was 9 i weighed 88 pounds.thats when i started saying "why am i alive"? By 10 i was 71 pounds because i stopped eating.i took a belt a wrapped it around my neck in rhe bathroom.i was crying.i do that almost 3 times a week.im going to tell my parents now. Wish me luck
My mom is awesome but she is not exactly understanding. She would blame it one my age, she would say oh it’s just normal teenage stuff. I’ve looked at the difference between that and actual clinical depression.
I don’t feel like I’m worth their worry, they say I’m not alone online. But in reality who is actually helping? ... I don’t deserve help anyway.
Try to get help from your friends
Ugh... I know that this is the problem I have. And I would just me embarrassed to speak up about it. My parents would just say “You are probably just growing up, your emotional” but I know that I have depression.
I’ve told my friends and they never make a big deal about they just act like I’m trying to get attention but I’m not I’m just trying to tell people my feeling and I’m scared if my parents will do the same thing
None of my friends know, my school guidance councillor, my relatives, nobody I’m alone
whenever i tell my dad that i probably have depression and i feel like i have depression he always says how oh “i don’t even pay bills so how can i be depressed!” and he never believes me. and me and my mom don’t have a good relationship, she never wants me around her..i don’t wanna be on this earth anymore because everyone treats me like garbage
Im so so sorry you have to go through what you're going through right now. Life does get better. I know it looks like it won't ever, but i promise it will. I have seen others in a very similar situation as you and they did get through it and live very happy lives now. Please don't give up! Life can be beautiful! there is so much to live for and so much to look forward to. God put you on this earth for a reason, you have a purpose. What I would do in your situation is talk to a trusted friend or another family member who would listen. You could also go to your school counselor (assuming you are in school). But please don't give up yourself! you are worth more!
Alexandria Bullock i talk to my friends..i feel like they are my only source of happiness
I want to tell my mom and I tried to tell my friend so they can help me but they sent me " lol " and I told them o was serious and they didn't know how to respond but I feel like my parents would be rly angry and not help me
Omg wow!!!! Im not sure if the friend you told is the right friend for you. Anybody that truly cared for you would try to help you. Please dont see that as a reflection of yourself. you had nothing to do with how the friend reacted. I also hope your parents would not be angry for how your feeling. If you do have something more going on than it is not your fault. I would defiantly encourage you to seek further help. If you do not it most likely will get worse.
I wrote a letter to my parents to try and tell my parents but I’m way too scared. I’m 12 and I self harm and I always feel depressed. I have a line of bloody cuts on my forearm. I managed to hide them during PE, but I can’t keep doing this forever. I’m scared they will yell at me or hit me. Every time they notice something, I tell them I’m tired or some excuse. How can I tell them?
I have had depression since I was 7 and now I'm 13. And I can't tell anyone because I don't know how to. And everyday I want to but I can't. I have tried to give hints but I can't and it just gets worse and worse everyday and I have started having suicidal thoughts since I was 9. And no one knows .
I couldn't do it. I tryed to talk to my mom but she changed the subject. I then tried the letter idea and left it on her pillow for her to find. well ten minutes later it when through tge paper shredder then on a bonfire as a precaution. I can't do it :'(:'(:'(
OMG!!! wow i cannot believe your mom would act that way! well i would defiantly try talking to someone else in your family that can help you. Keep trying and dont give up! this is your life we are talking about! you deserve to be happy! please stay strong. And just remember, the way your mom acted toward you was very selfish and unkind and is defiantly not a reflection on you. You are worth so much more!
Dear mom,
I think when dad left i learned to turn the hurt into sadness and sadness to being busy so when i say i really busy i mean im watching spongebob on the couch.
Thank you 😭💛🙏
I'm just worried because I'm not sure if I even have depression. I've only felt this way for about 2-3 weeks, but it's been terrible. I feel like I'm over reacting, and I'll sound silly. I don't know if I'm just being a drama queen, or if I truly have depression. Also, I already have GAD, but I'm not really sure if that matters
No matter how long you've been experiencing these feelings, its still worth it to get help. the longer you wait the harder it will be. you life matters enough to possibly explore the reason you are feeling this way and possibly get support if you need it.
This will help thank you
You are so welcome! im so glad i could help
I don’t know what to do. I don’t have any close friends to talk to. I’m always hurting so much and think I’m depressed. But I’m to scared to talk about it to anyone. Everyone thinks I’m a happy person. It’s all an act. I cry myself to sleep every night. I need help, before I end up killing myself.
Yaaaaa what a great mix my dad is a psychopath and I have depression and now I have to live in his house great :/
I am only 10 years old I feel like a failure and I've been hurting myself for almost a week and I lied that my cat did it Im scared to tell because Im scared that she won't understand and yell at me Thinking of it even makes me almost cry..............I wish a adult could tell my mom this Im very afraid right now Im trying not to cry......
@alexandriabullock thank you ❤️
My mom would say "your just finding an excuse for your bad grades and laziness"
My parents won't ever believe me or even understand my pain
Im so sorry your going through this!!! have you tried talking to others?
I might just text my mom in the morning… I'm scared to tell her though… I feel like they might just brush it off…
So I have something to share.I have been feeling sad before but now I feel like it has gotten worse.I feel sad but I don't know the reason why.I feel like some sad soul possessed my body and I just got really sad.I don't know the reason why I'm sad but I know there a reason behind it.It may be because of all the problems I have in school and family life.But recently I have gotten more emotional.I feel useless and for now reason I just felt like crying and yeah I cried.I feel like something heavy is on my chest and goes away after crying but minutes later it comes back.And my mom called me and she was with my dad.I am really sad today so I answered the phone with I guess an upset or sad voice and she asked if I was sad or not and my dad asked me what was the problem,when they asked that I felt like crying and I almost said yes but no....I just said I was tired from school.Now,my mom and dad are a little depressed too so I don't wan to give them more problems and tell them that I am feeling sad.I feel like I don't have the right to be sad anymore.When they ask me if I'm okay I just say yes and hold back my tears.I don't want to assume that I am depressed so I have a question.Am I just sad/upset or depressed already?
Yoongi's Wife I’m so sorry about everything your going through it sucks to. Feel like that I would definitely encourage you to talk to someone about it. Possibly get help from a counselor but I I know how alone you feel and I hope you know that you aren’t
My mom or dad just say “there is nothing to be sad about so suck it up” or “your tired, go to sleep” or “Your period is coming huh?” I have not had my period yet. Help. My parents don’t even the acknowledge the fact that I have anxiety attacks a lot to. They think it is because of my age. They think because I’m young I don’t feel deep sadness and anxiety. But I do. HELP!!!
I just made a letter about how I feel (I'm 11)
and I'm gonna give it to my mom in the morning
I'm reply scared but I know this is the best for me
any advise?
that is awesome!!! just be strong and know that this is best for you!!
+Alexandria Bullock I feel like my mom brushed it off😭
we where talking after school and she said if I whant help I need to tell her what's wrong...
I told her mostly what's wrong but missed a few things so I asked if we can talk Tomarrow...
we never talked the next day. and the next.
so now I feel like she doesn't really care...
+Collapsed Cupcake maybe you should try and ask to talk to her again just too see what she says. If you feel like you need help then you should defiantly do everything you can to receive it
+Alexandria Bullock ok thx ill try that and get back to you
+Collapsed Cupcake yes please do 😊
I’m depressed and I’m sure of it but I’m 11 so ?? How will a 11 yr old have depression. I can’t tell my parents.
ummm i stuggling with depression but i don't cut or do any of thoese things do you still suggest i get help because i am sad and i feel empty and i cry some night i'm just scared
paytin Jailin awww first off I just want you to know that it's going to be okay. You can fight this! And yea I think it would be a good idea to talk to someone about it. Get some support
Alexandria Bullock because of this i was able to get help and i can't express how much graditude i have for you
Omg you are so amazing! I am so so happy for you! That all I ever wanted out of this video! This is literally all I want for you is to life a happy full life! I am so proud of you! Please stay strong! I am literally so so happy for you
You don't have to cut to be depressed. It's all about how you feel. I wish you the best of luck!>,
I tried to tell them (my mom spefically) she didn't believe me she said that I was to young to be going through a lot my mom told me that im to young to even know the meaning of depression.
Wow! I'm so sorry! You are never too young to be experiencing depression. I would go to maybe a friend , teach or school counselor
+Alexandria Bullock we don't have a counselor .
but thank you for your advice. ill give it a shot.
+Mechanical Heart well just remember that talking it out with somebody really really helps! Maybe try talking to a friend or a friends parent
but what if they don't get me?
Is it normal that I'm only nine and I'm depressed?...
Moot Loves_to draw I am too
There is one problem though: My family doesn't really have the money to send me to a therapist. I know because they told me that they struggle a bit with money and all of that. I am afraid to tell them because if they don't take me seriously than I might...commit suicide just because I have no one. I don't have any close or understanding friends (my bff left me for the "popular girls") and I think that if I tell my school's therapist I would have to pay for it. I am in a crisis basically If my parents won't understand. I am afraid of telling my parents because my dad could yell at me for trying to escape all the work that they give me or he would say that it's just an excuse for being lazy. All I want is help, is that too much?
I tell my parents that there is a problem and I can't say what my problem is and it's so frustrating cuz I just can't tell them and I really want to. They took my phone away to get me to talk but I just can't it's so hard
My friend says go get help go get help but I can't because I think I have social anxiety it is so bad
I know exactly where your at. But I think the best thing to do is to tell them what's going on I know it's hard, it's one of the hardest things to do. But I'm sure they want to help! Just think of it has taking a step towards a better life for yourself. Getting help is so crucial so you can learn how to cope with difficult situations. No one wants to fight it alone
+Alexandria Bullock I told someone and I'm getting help thank you so much
+Maia Blair omg yes!! I'm so proud of you!! Yay!! That makes me so happy!
I'm telling my mom tonight
I'm so proud of you! That's amazing! You go girl! Let me know how it goes
+Alexandria Bullock okay I will
+Maddie Clark how did it go?
It went really well she wasn't mad but I'm going to therapy soon
+Maddie Clark that is so awesome! im so proud of you! and im so glad that you told someone and are finding a helping hand! cause i know its not easy! if you ever have any questions or need someone to talk to you can always message me! i hope everything goes well in therapy
Would it be ok if I talk to the therapist at school to help?
My dad never cares about me and my mum just shouts at me all the time and when I told her I was very upset all the time she said it was just boys going through puberty 🙁
Harry Hudson omg I'm so sorry! That really sucks! Honestly sometimes (depending on your situation) parents aren't the best people to go to. Sometimes it's better to go to another family member or a close friend or even a school counselor. Please don't give up. Your parents reaction isn't because of who you are or anything you did it's a reflection of who they are and how they feel. Please know that!
When I told my mom.
She just said "Stop that".
She also called me ugly when I don't smile. My father thinks it's just a phase.
My teachers, they don't understand.
After that, I don't know anymore.
I don't have the motivation to do homework, play, or even do my favorite hobby. I would always lie on my bed thinking why am I alive.
Please. If you don't like bad thoughts or self harm, please go away from this comment.
Trigger warning.
I actually did self harm to myself by using a sharp cutted ballpen. Slowly Kept on scarring and scraping my hands, Face and legs to death and Starving myself because people think I'm getting fat.
I don't have the confidence to do anything anymore.
And I Just felt suicide thoughts.
I just don't have a choice anymore.. I just want it all to end.........
I just want to die.😔
I'm sorry.
idk how to explain how and why I feel like this plz help me!!!
Omg i have so been exactly where you are! okay I would start simple. do you feel sad? do you feel anxious? do you feel tired? things like that. Once we figure those out we can dive deeper into what else is routed from those. Im here for you if you ever need someone
I think i have depression cause i struggle with self confidence and cry myself to sleep most nights and i end up crying in public places and i loes my anger very eaisly and i dont know how to tell my parents cause im to scared. I usally fake a smile most of the time so no one will notice my struggles😔
Aww sweetie! I am so sorry! I know your pain! But I'm here to tell you that depression is hard but it is possible to get through. If you feel like that I do think you need to get help and support from people who love and care about you. Keeping everything inside and trying to tell deal with it alone only makes it worse. Trust m I tried for years and I only got worse. It wasn't until I had help from my family that I started to heal. I know you can do this! Do this for you, do this for your future and and your family. Your family and friends need you. The world needs you! Please stay strong and fight! I know it's hard, but you can do this ❤️
I need help I am terrified to tell anyone my parents my siblings or my friend I am so sceard I am crying right now I think Avery one will laugh and blow it of. I have even hurt my self I need someone to talk to but I don't know who please help me!!
katie Hamilton awww girl! Don't be afraid! A lot of people go through depression! Please get some help from someone! I would encourage you to tell your parents. You may need to get treatment. Please know you are loved and have a purpose on this earth! You are so much more than you think you are! God said your worth more than rubies💎 please understand how crucial it is to get help and support. If you are already thinking of hurting yourself it's time to get help. Maybe try writing your parents a letter explaining how you feel! That's what I did and it was so much easier that way! Please don't give up! You need to tell someone. It's so much easier to deal with if you have help ❤️❤️❤️ you can always message me on Instagram if you need someone to talks to
Alexandria Bullock thank you so much that really helped me thank you
Thank you for this video but you don't feel depressed you are depressed
I agree
I am depressed but am scared to say it
I’ve tried to tell my mum about it over and over but she think it’s nothing and it’s just hormones and it really makes me sad to see that she doesn’t really care, does anyone know a way for me to tell my mum?
Alana Banana you could ask her to see someone. Tell her you need help because you don’t know how to deal with it all. Please stay strong! You can do this!
first of all. you can’t exactly KNOW you’re depressed until you get a doctors help so why would i tell my parents i’m feeling this way if i don’t even know ??
adrianna that’s why I said I’m the the title... telling your parents your FEELING depressed. I never say to self diagnose. But you do need to start somewhere.
I have depression by people saying that I'm stupid and retarded and I got really sad but I haven't told my mom is dad and my mom is the closest to me and my sister suffered depression too and I'm scared they will be made about how I feel thank you for the video
Kaelee Thomas I’m so sorry for all that your going through! People can be so mean! I hope you know that that in no way is who you are! I think you need to tell someone in your family. Maybe start with your sister since she deals with depression to. Maybe she will understand ❤️ just know that things will get better and it doesn’t last forever ❤️ stay strong beautiful
I’m afraid my parents won’t believe me
I'm only 11 and I dont know what to do
I hope you're doing okay! And I hope you know you aren't alone!! Please tell someone you trust how you are feeling. They can help you through everything. Stay Strong
I dont have any friends to bring whit me
