Any other depressed teenagers on the site who would like to talk? Or adults who were depressed as a teen. I just need someone to talk to who understands what I am going through, and I am guessing that I'm not the only one who feels that way, none of my friends understand it. I would love to hear your experiences. I am 13, pretty depressed right now, I just spent the whole day lying in bed doing crap. I actually cut myself once this afternoon, only a little though. I really hate my life. I want to go to a doctor so I can get a diagnosis, and maybe start on some medicine and therapy, but i don't know how to approach my parents. I don't really talk to them about many things and idk how they will react, can anyone help me with this?
