Hello  im 16 i do understand what you are going through at the moment ! I am sorry to hear you are feeling depressed and your mum is not istening to you .

Have you tryed talking to someone such as a teacher this would help alot as they could help and support you ? i know it can be very scary to talk to someone face to face if you cant maybe you could write it down for them to read ,

You do need help from a Gp i understand you are shy what you could do is print  out the message you have wrote to us on here and show it to your gp or i am wandering would your school arrange a meeeting with your gp and your self this could help alot as well ?? its worth a try in asking about this .

You could even take a freind with you to the doctors so your not alone and you have support while you are there and maybe your freind could do some of the talking for you .

As for you mum saying she has given up on you she may be saying this because she is stuck on what to do as an illness can be very hard to deal with and stressful .Is there another family member who you could talk to ?

As for tellng your gp and teachers you have attempted suicuide 6 times they would have to inform people this has has happend to me when i told a teacher that they informed CAMHS , GP , PARENTS &  TEACHERS who need to know .

There is a way without your parents knowing but the only way in doing that is if you went to see your gp who could refer you to you to a place called CAMHS i really for you it must be very difficult having to cope with all of this alone please talk to someone such as teacher or another family member or a freinds mum .

It took me a year to tell people everything and i found myself getting alot worse so this is why its really inmportant to TELL SOMEONE WHO YOU TRUST SO THEY CAN HELP YOU! 

As you say your worried because you have heard of people getting kicked out of school because some schools cant deal with an illness like this , Yes it can be very hard for the school to cope i am going through this stage where my school dont want me there because of my sfatey and well being also because they cant cope with me . But not all schools will be like this schools have different support facilties in helping children and young people so it is worth a try talking to a teacher tell them the onshit truth how you feeling.

TELL SOMEONE , YOU DONT HAVE TO COPE ALONE!

I do hope this helps you , talk soon

thanks =] i really appreciate your help, considering your going through the same thing at the moment too.

ive half decided on a plan. im going to try and ask my GP if they can keep my appointment confidential. I read on their website that if they are going to inform someone else other than another GP about what happened in your appointment, they need your consent to it. So if they were going to tell my mum, id at least have warning.

do you think it would be easier to go alone, or to try and find a friend (one that hasnt been acting like an idiot lately) and ask if theyd do me a massive favour and go with me ?

Thanks again. I owe you =]

stay strong x

hey

uch. what am i meant to do, if i tell one of my 'best friends' everything, hoping that theyll help me, then get told that theyll do all they can, then have them go back on all they promised the next day ? "/

thing is, i asked a friend for help. they were like 'awhh, yea well find a way, i wont let you be lonely, ill come see you tomorrow.' then on that 'tomorrow', you find out that ALL your friends have gone out without including you. again.

help anyone ? "/ Thanks, i really appreciate it.

Unhappy1993 : Thanks. I really really owe you one. talk if you need to. =] stay strong x

Hello  Well done for telling your freind. It seems very confusing for you at the moment . What you could do is tell your freind to meet at your house on the day you are going to go and see the doctor so you know that they defoo will be there like they promise you . But if your best freind has proimsed they must stick to that promise . If you want to go with your freind why not ask them if you can go along so it gets you out of the house for some time out .

Hope i have understood you write lol .

Loveya

Talk soon

I definitely advice you to talk to someone. Ive suffered with depression for the best part of sixteen years and I never told a soul until now, I regret leaving it for so long. I firstly advice you to talk to a childline online councellor who will be able to help you significantly. Once you make the first step, everything else follows. Just be brave and know that there are others like you out there - I am one of them. Good luck sweetheart, I wish you the best.
