what do you mean when you say how it has effected me? like with friends, family, school, relationships, or all of it?

yah that is what i mean. just if you had to write a paper on it what would you say that kind of stuff

sorry if i write too much, i tend to start babbling and going off topic. you can use anything, if there's anything worth using...

i would say that first of all, not all people that are depressed are craving for attention. i do think that people that are depressed need help with what they are going through and someone to talk to. whan i was depressed, i seriously didn't know where i was headed, or if it even mattered. i was having problems at home with my mom that i felt i couldn't tell anyone. i feared that they would think i just wanted them to feel sorry for me, but i didn't. i think i was even more depressed b/c i had no one to talk to or anything.
i started cutting to take the pain away, i felt like i had nowhere to turn, no one to turn to. it started with just a few here and there, and then i became obsessed with it. i couldn't go a day without doing it. i felt horrible when i didn't do it, it was like all the pain came back if i went to long without that razor. when i cut myself, all i could concentrate on was the blood, not any other problems, they all disappeared, it was heaven.
but my friends kept getting really scared, especially when i was sad. i grew further away from my family (mostly my mom, since she was the reason i started), i stopped talking, i felt like there was no one i could relate to.
my boyfriend(ex now) almost broke up with me b/c of it. he said that i didn't talk as much, and that he was scared that i would get seriously hurt. he made me promise to stop cutting, and i did for a while. but i broke that promise, and i was scared to tell him. when he found out, he was pissed, he hasn't trusted me the same since. and i regret everything that i ever did at that point.
i started thinking about suicide when i felt like it had started all over again. i had no one to turn to again, and i felt like i was useless, i felt like no one would ever know me. i thought that if i left, if i was gone, then everyone's problems would die with me.
There! all done!!... i think, idk if that's wut u wanted to know... you can ask me something else if u want to know it...

*Shawte*

hey thanks alot it actually helped me out i will use it in my paper thanks for writing,
always amanda

Today depression is a real issue. People think that depression is something you ask for, something that you want to get peoples attention, but it real life its a mental illness that can be treated.

I was depressed in middle school. My grandfather was like a father figure to be and he had died. I blamed myself for his death and i started to lash out on my mom. Like alot of teens today, I started to talk less to everyone even my best friends. I started to cut myself and the whole world was fuzzy.

I just lived my life like nothing was wrong and i didnt think anything was wrong until people found out and I started to think about it.."well maybe i do have a problem"
I started to talk to teachers,guidence counclors, and therapists. I know people are afraid to ask for help but it was one of the best things i have done. even though im still breaking my cutting habits after 2-3 years Im glad i see someone and become more in touch with the people I blamed for my problem.

Sorry if I typed to much...hopefully it helped
