sad lonely nd depressed

hi im a 16 yr old female i have had depression for 3 years and i am on medication nd am seeing people but i still feel depressed and sad i cut myself i take large amounts of pills nd i drink to escape my abuse

Why are you coming on here and asking for sympathy? you make the choices to cut yourself, you could STOP CUTTING and stop taking pills but you choose not to.... If you are getting abused go to the police... To be honest, you have to sort yourself out, Talk to your therapist about it... If you want to be happy you can be..

I agree with katie. Seems harsh, but I'm sure you go through worst. That's the reality of it. If you're getting abused, why would you cut yourself for more hurt? Doesn't that seem pointless? You definitely need to sort yourself out.

Well im in a way kind of like you, i cut and drink and take any pills whenever i can get my hands on them...i have also been depressed for years,and am getting professional help... but really, you can't go to a therapist and get help if you dont wonna help yourself..i cant really tell you to stop taking the pills and stop cutting b/c im not a hypocrit...but try to keep your head up, make better choices..and if you really want help then get it, dont just pretend like you want it, when deep down you do not!!

well some of those replys were kind of rude..but a better way to say it is...dont take the easy way out in life...everyone has problems and goes through tough times..im goin through a lot right now...im tryin to finish school, im a single mom, my mom is slowly passing away, my sons dad which i love SO much is in love with another girl AND doesnt even take care of his son...and thats not even the beginning of it...but im not doin things to try and hurt myself...you'll over come it...and one day you'll hopefully realize non of that is worth it...

seriously , you must be joking :s
you say that almost all depressed ppl should syop being that way , because somewhere there is somebody who has it worse in their life??????
seriously, that's not gonna make ppl who are depressed feel any better you know
al lot of ppl just don't understand how depressed ppl feel and think, al you "happy" ppl underestimate it hugely ,
if your not depressed yourself, than stop picking on ppl who are

a little sympathy is sometimes all these ppl seek, and all they need to get back up a little ,telling them hard how to go on with their lives wil in most cases only make things worse

oceansoul, We gave her sensible advice, why come on the internet and beg for sympathy... There are a lot of people with depression who just get on with it and spend their time on getting better rather than moaning on a forum, don't accuse us all of having no problems, you have no idea

i didn't say you didn't have any, or minimalize other ppl's problems, but some ppl just need a little bit of sympathy, instead of a hard push , no matter how silly that may sound to you

Sympathy doesn't stop people cutting, a harsh push stops people cutting, a bit of harsh reality helps people..

for some ppl maybe, not all ppl are the same, different cures for different ppl, some ppl might react very bad to as you say' a bit of harsh reality" , it's a narrowminded view you give, if ppl seek a bit of attention of sympathy ,to feel better , i think it's better to give em that instead of "harsh reality"

Why give them what they want, it makes them think they can get more therefore carry on, and yes you did imply we were "happy people" which is not neccesarily true, we just aren't crying out for attention every ten seconds..
