Hey my name is Mel.

Recently I've been having issues with school and Im almost 100 percent positive it has everything to do with my sever depression I'm stuck in.
I've asked my parents numerous times to get me help and they keep reassuring me they'll get me a doctor for my problems.
But they never do...and it's making me sink farther and farther into a depressive state.
I don't know what to do anymore..they just wont listen to me.

is there a teacher or other adult you can turn to? getting another involved is sometimes helpful i think, someone you know and trust and also someone your parents will take time to listen to would be best i think...

joining here is a good move... people listen and care and understand...

best wishes..

hey well when i had severe depression i tried to tell my mum and she thought it was a try for attention so i found others to talk to try maybe talking to your parents about it if they have said they will get you a doctor maybe they are willing to hear you out they were once your age aswell and they love you so they will do whatever they can to help you.

pm me if u need sum1 2 talk 2

I'm afraid though. I'm afraid that if I do tell another adult that someone is going to take me away from my parents. Everything is so messed up right now

they wont take you away from your parents unless that is what you want... and if they did they would soon notice how much worse it would make your condition remember that whatever you tell a doctor is confidential unless they think that your life or sum1 elses life is in danger.

They won't take you away from your parents unless they have a reason to think your parents are intentionally harming you or neglecting you.

Nowhere is right- find someone to talk to besides your parents. Does your school have a counselor? Do you have access to a religious leader? Is there a teacher you trust? An Aunt or Uncle you can call?

It sounds like your parents don't fully understand what's happening. They may be hoping that you'll snap out of it. It can be difficult to help people understand depression, and that's why getting another person on your side, especially someone your parents will respect and listen to can be a big help.

I would try to do the hard work for them - make the phone calls, make the appointment, figure out transportation (if you can't drive yet), decide who you want to see. Just make it as EASY as possible for them to just sign off on it. They care about you and want you better, but they don't understand well enough to make sure it's their top priority. Simply doing all this will show them a little bit clearer, but making it braindead simple for them will expedite getting the help you need. If nothing else, one (fully open) session's often enough to get a fairly good diagnosis, depending on how bad it is. You might also ask the therapist if it's a good idea to include your folks.

Good luck, and try to power on through. Catching it while you're young is a *good* thing.
