My Mother died from the treatment of cancer when I was 12 too. She was terminal since I was 6. Not sure what saved me but I think it was God..I had an Aunt and Uncle who took me in and brought me up. They were amazing even though they were older they found time for me. Try and talk to someone who you can trust and anytime you want to rant per say it's fine by me. Hugs to you..know your not alone

Hi, I would love to offer support and receive some as well. I'm here for you and you're not alone

Sorry you had a tragic life, hope things get better. Just think positive thoughts and your journey will get easier. Also, talk to a mental health professional to get you in the right direction. Self care like; meditation is another free alternative. If you ever need a friend through this process, please feel free to contact me any time

What about your mom? Is she in the picture?

Good Morning England I would love to chat anytime although I am new to this site and not really sure how posts and replies work. Do you have a family doctor?? I would strongly suggest that you tell a doctor exactly what you just posted. I have always been able to relate to people with self harm issues. I am a mom of two young men. I am in my 50s and I never ever put my selfcare as a priority in my world. You are young and need to address this right now. The sooner you get to counseling or possibly medication............the sooner you feel the excitement life in your DNA. You deserve a fully functioning amazing journey called life. You can achieve this with support. Please start by making a doctor's appointment today. You do not want to be in your 50s having wasted so many years. I feel like I am too broken to fix. You are fixable. Please just tell someone you love and know will support you. A teacher, a doctor, a parent, etc.

You can talk to me if you need to, I sent a friend request :). You are in my prayers

I'm 22, and I used to log into Dailystrength regularly and talk to awesome people on here when I was 15. Just beware of perverts. My depression was extremely severe in my teens, but it really does get better.

You should look into seeing a counselor at your school. When I was your age, I was too afraid to speak to a counselor and ask for help, and it is something I deeply regret. It could have saved me years of suffering from my depression. Don't make the same mistake I did. Also, make sure to get regular exercise. Exercise is more effective in treating depression and anxiety than antidepressants.

I know exactly how you feel, what helps me when I have depression and stress is go for a walk or go do things you love. If you ever need to talk, I am always here! you can get through this. You are strong inside and out and there is people out there who love and care for you. Especially people on this website! You are in my heart and my prayers. Do you have a counselor by any chance or are on any medications? I have panic attacks and anxiety also so I know exactly how you feel!
