Who can I reach out to? Depressed, self injurer, I am 18, my parents know but we dont get along.?


I cant stand living here anymore. I have until May till I graduate, I have no friends that I can really talk to, I see a therapist and take 40 mg prozac and 3-6mg melatonin at nite to sleep, but that is only one day a week, and I need more attention and support than that. I talk to a teacher at school, but I need more. I want to runaway, something I cant stand living here anymore!! Energy is hard to come by, my self confidence sucks, but I a good person, people just dont give me the chance, I am so afraid, and I am scared that I am not going to make it until May. My parents are so high demanding and I fail to meet everyone, I dont believe that they do or should love me. I have good grades, so I have a future but I cant wait, I need to get out! I just want to scream and cry but I cant, there is just so much pain.
So any suggestions, advice,stories, support, whatever is appreciated.

Listen... I know how you feel.. I used to feel that way before.. but then I changed.. I just started seeing life in another way.. just ENJOY yourself.. always think positive and never think negative... thinking negative will NOT help you at all.. you need to wake up, look at yourself in the mirror, and tell yourself.. "today I am going to have a good day" and just HAVE a good day!!!

There is no way you should have no confidence because you sound brilliant... try not to be shy and BE YOURSELF!!! Believe me.. you'll find lots of people who will love you because of YOU... you need to love yourself and think positive.

I am soooooo sure that your parents love you and you have other people who love you as well.. it's just that you don't choose to believe it since your way of thinking is so negative... pleaseeeeeeee think positive and just enjoy your life!!!

You have a good future ahead of you, don't mess it up by all that negative thinking!!! Just think of how many people around the world who are living in the streets, with nothing, would LOVE to be in your shoes.. you're the lucky one!!!!

Oh, and I want to say Congratulations because you're going to graduate in May...GOOD LUCK with everything.. I hope I helped a little... but in the end.. the only true help you can REALLY get is from YOURSELF!!!

Ha, sounds like me except a little better. I don't really know what to do anymore, there really is nothing to do.

go back to your therapist and tell him/her all you have said here/print it out if you need to. they need to know exactly what is going on in your head so they can help you. if you don't feel you are getting the care you need, tell your parents that you want to see someone else. also talk to you guidance couselor at school. if they are trained properly, they can help you to get the help you need. try to get all these people together and talk it out. it sounds like your parents don't get you and they need to see who you are and what you need from them. don't stop yet and don't run away. that is not the answer and you still won't get better. if your parents won't listen to you, get the counselor and/or therapist to talk with them as many times as it takes to get through to them. i can tell you love them and they love you, but sometimes parents don't want to see that their child is anything but perfect. no one is perfect and should not have that stigma put on them. just be yourself and know who you are and what you want to be and do with your life. find your strength in God and yourself and you will overcome this.

hello, im only suggesting this because i also had the thought of running away once because i had no attenton from my parents but go to your doctor and ask to speak with him privatly then tell him i feel depressed and i feelings to run away from home he should ask you tons of questions about why because this is something that leads to suicide eventually but he should give you a number for some therapist for u and ur parents to express what you think and everything and try to get your parents to do more stuff with you like schduel a day when u and your family can go out to eat or something

You just hold on, your life is just starting. You can't even begin to know what great things are in store for you. You could be the next big author to come along, you could be the next big artist to come along. Always , always believe in yourself. I don 't know if it would help but maybe try reading some good books. That always kind of takes you away from yourself and problems. Good luck to you

I'd say get to the library or a book store. Find a book (self help) on building your confidence or one that is specifically designed/geared towards whatever the professionals have diagnosed you with. & Look around your community for any groups that they have dealing with depression and the like. Look in the newspaper they usually have (non profit) group meetings for children of alcoholics, bi-polars, depression, etc....in the evenings, you'd be surprised at how many free groups there are you can attend. Might do you a world of good to get out and share what you are going through w/ others that are going through what you are feeling.
I know you probably don't feel like "sharing" w/ strangers, & might not even want to just flee but hang on May will come around soon enough. Remember too that when you move out, you will still be living with you! The parents won't be bugging you so you might lose a bit of the confidence killers. But try to get as healthy as you can b/f going out on your own.
I've found myself in all kinds of ugliness of situations, feelings, and gotten some books, went to some of these groups and felt a heck of a lot better!
