So this is my first post so first of all hello.

Im 16 and severly depressed. my local hospital wont give me couselling or rather i have to jump through hurdles to get it and so ive come to here to see if i can get any help from other people in a similar situation.

to give you a background insight i live with my dad, i have 2 sisters who both hate my dad and a bro whos mother hates me ( not my mother she died when i was 2 this is my dads latest girlf.) me and my dad have gotten on okay but nothing i ever do is right.i have a boyf of 8 weeks who i love very much but hes after a long string of unsucessfull relationships which have left me emotionally numb along with severe emotional bullying throughout my school life.

all in all i need help with my issues. i used to deal with sadness by eating but after gainin 2 stone i though enough was enough . i just need someone to talk to about things to see if i can fight the demons within and bring out the old me

can anyone help me?
thanks

We are here to give support and encouragement. We can't give you the care that a psychiatrist or counselor could. Yes, it may involve jumping thru some hurdles, but might be invaluable in the long run since they will give you a thorough evaluation and medication.

This is a good resource recommended by Healing Well. S.A.F.E (self abuse finally ends) Alternatives

Hope this will help.
You are not alone.

Thinking of you-

Welcome to HealingWell.  I am sorry for the edit but talk of self harm is not allowed in the forum.  I do hope you are able to seek out professional help.  I would kindly suggest that you talk with your Dad about helping you find a counselor.

Good input from Sandy.

Kindly,

Kitt

Hi Chica,( I like the name....)
I'm sorry to hear you have to suffer from the pains of depression at such a young age. It's hard. Everyone here is there to hear you out. I'm myself facing a lot of hurdles to get counselling,but it helps to speak with grown ups who have seen a lot more and who know what it feels to be in the pit. Hope the forum helps you.
How are your relations with your brothers?
And about your boyfriend,how old is he?Is he older than you,than he might be able to support you and guide you.

A friend of mine,shared this poem she read somewhere,I'll pass it on to you,hope you like it.... :)

In this world that surrounds us
We sometimes break down and fall
Those who stand above us
Can make us seem so small

We tremble under the weight
Of the problems that hold us down
And when we start to collapse
There seems to be no one around

We try to fight in this world
That always seems to fight back
Sometimes we’re not strong enough though
There are too many things we lack

We’ll hide away in corners
Put upon ourselves pain
But there’s no escape from this life
We all must suffer the same

But although we may struggle
And yes we all do fall
I’ll stand by your side
I’ll stay with you through it all

And if you start to tremble
Or even break down
I’m your shoulder to cry on
I’ll always be around

We all have our faults
Are up and are downs
We cant always smile all the time
Everyone has to frown

No, no ones perfect
And no one is the same
We’re in this world together
We all play the same game

If we stick together
No matter whats to come
With a little faith and hope
Anything can be done

We all get those bad times
Each and every one of us
But I promise it will get better
Just don’t you give up

But when you feel like you want too
Please just remember this
You can die at any time
But it takes a strong person to live
