dfwmifb2	Sounds to me you are depressed. Please .....please make your parents listen to you. Tell them everything that runs through your mind even if it relates to family life. Then tell them you need to talk to someone who can help you. There are too many professionals who can help you figure out what is happening. Be prepared you may not like what they may tell you but you will be getting honest answers. Be honest with yourself first then you can be honest with the ones who can/will help you.

pug hugger	I'm sure that you do have some depression, although, I wonder about other things such as abuse. You say your past is not good. You have many signs of someone that has been abused - the cutting, not wanting to be touched, having problems at night. The voice could just be you telling yourself that you are worthless and other negative things that aren't true. If you have someone you can talk to please do. It sounds as if you may need some therapy, and to get on some kind of anti-depressants. feel free to email me if you like. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brittany D	hopefully you have told you doctor everything you have just said. if not yo should. you probably do suffer from depresation. there is medicine for that. bipolar , eh i dont think so. since you only 14 hormones are going crazy so that might cause the change in personality.

personal trainer	So is it an audience that you want..or relief from what you are feeling? You could die tomorrow, like any of us, and the sun will still shine, the traffic will still jam, Starbucks will still be selling coffee..in other words if you don't care more than anyone about you...your ****** kiddo. So .....whats stopping you from taking some meds? Then find a job, stick to it, and get the hell away from whoever is bad for you. Who is taking you from your center and messing you up anyway? You like the rest of us should ask this of yourself. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fifi	You is in trouble girl, go to County Mental Health for a 2nd evaluation Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ValleyViolet	The cutting concerns me. This is not the place to get a diagnosis, you need to be evaluated and treated by a professional. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mandatheloon	Many of us are not medical professionals and can't diagnose you properly. If you are unsure of your doctor's diagnosis, you should get an appointment with another medical professional and get a second opinion. It does sound like you're not enjoying life to the fullest though, so if you can afford to get help, get help while you can! There's no reason to go through life depressed if you don't have to. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Once you begin treatment and therapy, you'll begin to feel much better, I promise!!! Good luck to you! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Just remember, drugs and support groups can and will help you . Please get help! June Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rrrevils	Everyone feels depressed now and then...the difference between that scenario and you is that yours is in a persisitent state. You need help, dear one, and you need it now rather than later. This is a dangerous time for you, and you must seek the help of an adult you can trust, be that a relative, neighbor, or parent of a good friend. May the Lord bless and keep you, child. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

joeniceguy2005	Well i don't think you have ANYTHING wrong with you,your just an ordinary human ,having normal doubts and feeling down are a part of our life,and we have to learn how to deal with life,straight,and not with drugs or booze ,or food or countless other addictive **** that we could lose ourselves in forever,I hope everything works out for you and may GOD bless and keep you safe,ps.have a nice day !joey Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pedidoc43	I believe that you have a major depressive syndrome with psychotic features (you don't describe any "manic" states so its hard to say you are Bipolar- do you have violent mood swings?). If you are truly "hearing voices' then you have a psychotic illness and need urgent medical and psychiatric care. Your never to young to have depression or to hurt yourself.. Please don't wait too long--- hopefully you have a caring parent relative or friend in your life who you can tell this tto so that you can get immediate attention. Good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

vanhammer	This makes me sad! You are depressed, definitely! Just remember, it is a chemical imbalance...it is not you or your fault. There's nothing wierd or strange about you. Please listen to your Doctor. Be honest with him/her about your feelings of worthlessness. You are going through alot but it is not going to be this way forever. You are young & have so much life to live. Get help now so that you can get out of this depression & enjoy being young & alive.So many people are going through this, but there are medications that will help you...I know, I've been there & I myself take medication. There is nothing to be embarresed about. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain that you have no control over. Please get help & start living your life. I wish you all the best & pray that you will soon be feeling much better. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stephen R	I am not a doctor but i do know depression when i see it as i went through it myself after getting hurt and being put in this wheelchair for the rest of my life. To me you do sound as if you are going through depression and the cutting yourself is a really serious issue. It will be hard but you need too find a doctor that you will feel comfortable with. It will take a while but once you find one and actually open up and talk about what all is going on in your life. After you do this you will get help and over time it will get better. Please for your own sake start looking for a doctor ok. Life is too short too have to live that way. I hope this helps you. Peace Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

khanzadha	u dont have cheers Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
