Hey,
Everyday I'm depressed. I've tried looking online on how to be happy but the tips don't really help or may just help for a limited amount of time. I tried visiting my psychologist at school but she was required to ask my parents if I could see her and my parents said no. My parents never let me out of the house and have zero trust in me, so its kinda hard to make friends. The friends that I do have would never believe me if I said I had depression because I'm always happy at school. I probably wouldn't be able to trust them to keep it to themselves anyway. I've cut myself once (more like scractched) but it didn't help. My sister is 11 months younger than me but she's allowed to have friends even though she's more untrustworthy then me. I feel like my parents don't really like me. I always have suicidal thoughts but all I want to be is happy. I'm in highschool now, but my parents said they won't let me stay in a dorm or an apartment when I go to college. Basically I'll have to live with them for the rest of my life because they have zero trust in me. I've stopped texting my friends because my parents always find a reason to make my texts sound bad. I feel so trapped and alone and I just want someone to talk to. In fact, if my parents found out they I'm using this website they would be extremely mad. Please help I don't know what to do. |

I don't know. I think they just think I'm being dramatic. They also don't like it when I talk to people about my family or myself in general for some odd reason.

If I were you, I would go to the nearest emergency room the next time you are thinking of hurting yourself or committing suicide. If you don't have a hospital close to you, call 911. They have social workers at most mental hospitals or psych wards in hospitals. If your parents want to hoard you in the house, they are being abusive. How old are you? I'm sorry you're going through this.

Well I'm almost sixteen. And my parents have zero trust because they're both psychiatrists (shocker...i know) but my dad deals with a lot of drug and alcohol addicts. And a lot of his patients talk about how they started drinking or drugs in highschool and their parents had no idea! I feel like my mom has more trust in me but doesn't want to get involved. After the psycologist called my parents though, my mom offered to give me depression meds behind my dads back, but I just thought it would be weird having my mom as my psyciatrist, since her and my dad are the main reason for my depression.

(sorry I only read your first post, until now. Therefore I edited the reply a bit)
(after reading #5) I guess some professional have this self barriers, especially in the mental health field. Things can be a different picture about when it's about themselves of someone in their family. My first reaction was "sigh...." about your parent attitude. I don't think it's helping the situation. May be the term "psychologist" triggers your parent. The school psychologist position seems to passive to me, since he/she need your parents permission. Can you see a counselor without letting them know ? How about seeing a counselor (outside or inside school) ? Is there any teen or kids phone line (by government in your city) that you can call ? (and that they can suggest you any future resources to go to ? ) Last edited by penguinsing; Apr 09, 2013 at 12:05 AM. |

All I can say is that you should have the suicide help phone number where you can easily find it.
Is there any adult in your life that you can trust? You need to tell Someone about your situation. Maybe your family physician. Don't lose hope. Make good grades so you can escape to a better life. |

I agree with poster above, I have 1life suicide prevention phone number on my mobile.
Mind yourself ok. Sorry, I don't have much more to add.

I completely get where you are coming from! I lived in a house like that when I was in high school. I did not lose my parents trust, they were just that way, un-trusting. It was very hard, and it's when my depression 1st surfaced. They were big believers in keeping any family business private too & never realized I was depressed, so I didn't get any treatment. I had to help myself.
I went to the school guidance counselor to help me. She arranged meetings with another counselor & I felt less invisible. They both agreed that helping me get up & out of there, via good enough grades to go to college, was the best course of action. I am so grateful that I had them. My parents didn't want me to go away to college, but live at home & go  They said the only was I would be able to move away (I babysat & had a lot of money saved) is if I got married! Really Crazy but really true!  I used to exercise really hard to get an endorphin high, and it helped get me through many rough patches. Try very hard to think if there isn't something you can do that will give you pleasure/some relief, like a sport or dance classes or some activity that will fulfill you (body & soul) & not make your parents alarm bells go off. I feel for you. I know it is a hard time right now.

Well, I do meet with my guidance counseler but she is probably THE WORST guidance counseler ever. I hate talking to her because all she does is just say the my situation sucks and there's nothing I can do about it):
In school, they gave us a card with suicide preventian numbers and I have really wanted to use them. The problem is my parents would find out I used them and not be very happy about it. They would think I'm being over dramatic and call me crazy. They would find out beacuse I ahve cellphone but my dad psychoanalyzes it every second so I've stopped texting and calling people. I also have a home phone but someone would probably end up listening in (I have three younger siblings and of cousrse, my parents). So that's when I decided to join this website! My parents are also saying the same thing about college. That either I have to get married or just live with them. And I do have really good grades (like a 4.2GPA) but the problem is it's hard to get involved with my kind of parents. Last year I did some community service, and this year I only did track. I hate it though because the coaches aren't easy to talk to at all and my parents always complain about picking me up. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
