    Me and my mom have a very good mother-daughter relationship.about a year and a half ago i was diagnosed with clinical depression.at first i was fine it wasn't too bad.about a few months after that it started getting worse.i thought it would pass so i didn't say anything because i didn't want to worry her.since then i've been feeling way more depressed but i still haven't said anything.i've become really withdrawn from everyone and stay alone in my room about 90% of the time.my mom dosen't seem to notice that it's gotten worse and i know it's because i stay away from everyone.i really want to tell her everything.i feel like i can't handle it anymore.i haven't told anyone at all.i never open up to anyone anymore like i used to.for some reason i'm not sure why but i feel like i'm afraid of what she'll say or how she'll react when i tell her.i feel like i'm the only one who feels like this.i really don't know what to do anymore.

    It's hard, I know.. I was very close to my mother and still am, she's really sick right now, so it seems as if she doesn't notice much, but I know she does so more than I think.. She's your mother, no matter what she'll love you. You should talk to her, let it all out.. You'll feel better, and she'll feel like you trust her.. What I did was hold it all inside, and she found out about some stuff I was doing and it opened up to the way I was feeling.. She was sad that I didn't trust her enough to talk to her, but she still loves me. I'm sorry you are going through this, I really do understand what it is like.. If you want to talk more about it, feel free to email me at CrazygirlAlly93@hotmail.com
    I'll be happy to help you with anything, or just talk.. I am a good listener, and I'll give you my shoulder to cry on. *Hugs*

    Hmm. You will open up to people eventually. I did the same thing, stayed cooped up in my room when I was sad and never told anyone what I was going through. But slowly, I began opening up to people that I knew I could trust. My relationship with my Mother has grown a lot since I opened up to her. Sure, there are still some huge secrets I kept because I am not ready to tell her those..but now I know that when I'm upset, she'll be there for me to hug me until I'm happy and listen to what I have to say.

    You will come to find, that it is better to let it all out to someone you can trust rather than working it out yourself. Others will have a different perspective on it, and can offer some advice.

    Best wishes. =)

    I know me to.. i used to have a great relationship with my mom and then i started to cut and i got depressed and...it went away. I know she wants to help but...its just to hard to talk to her.
    All i can say is just try to come out of your room more little by little and maybe try to start telling your mom small things and then try to work up to bigger things. I'm sorry if that doesnt help much but feel free to pm me if you ever wanna talk..
