Title: Why haven't they noticed?
Post by: Jess on October 01, 2010, 08:02:12 PM
Looks like i'm back again :(

For the past few weeks i have been feeling extremally down, i can't seem to enjoy anything even my friends are driving me crazy.
I'm finding myself at the brink of tears at really inappropriate times even when nothing has happened. I can't seem to think clearly. Suicide is still on my mind, i actually looked around the house for things that could prove fatal.

I don't understand how nobody has noticed how low i am feeling, this is not a new thing for me, my depression has lasted for years, how come nobody has realised that i am depressed surley i have left enough evidence.

I don't know what to do or say anymore...

Hi jess, sorry your finding it hard right now I honestly understand.
Some people do notice but dont know what to say or how to help.
Has anything brought this low mood on?

Hi honey. I am so sorry you feel so bad.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you can't expect people to just notice. I know, I've felt like they should - but the reality is that most people are pretty self-absorbed.

Please tell someone how you are feeling. Please get help - go to your GP, even go to A&E if you're desperate. Looking around for things to harm yourself with is not a good sign. You have so much to live for.

Hi Jess, again please tell someone how your feeling............its not wrong to ask for help.  The problem with life now everyone seems in a rush and maybe can't see what is before their eyes.  I know your a teenager and I am not making any excuses for your parents, but they will not have a manual on bringing up children and may see as just behaving as a teenager being either introvert or extrovert, if you get my meaning.  Maybe they see your behaviour just as being like they where.........so they probably will understand more than you think ;)  Parents on the whole not the ogre's we think and sometimes they are waiting to take the que from you to open up to them, and for them not to be appearing too intrusive....big hugs.
