What do you do when theres no excape?

You really need to chill out. Things will turn out okay. See your school counselor.

It sounds serious like you are not telling us the whole story. I think you are grieving deeply for some reason. What else happened? Look at the responses here and you can see that there is a wide range. Some people never will "get the hint" as you put it. It is beyond their experience. You need professional help now, because your safety net is torn up. Just remember you are not responsible for the other people in your family and their problems. The only solution is for you to grieve the loss of your childhood, the abuse or whatever it was you endured and get stronger and healthier. Let it all out in a safe place. Be glad your parents are still alive and that you still have time to try to resolve your involvement in the disfunctional family relationships if you can. Create safety and boundaries for yourself. Cutting yourself or scratching does produce endorphins, so exercise ever day, without fail. Don't let your therapist put you on Paxil of some junk like that. It will make you fat and even more depressed. Don't let anyone talk you out of taking the steps to heal yourself.

Number one, you need to focus on the actual. #1. The divorce has nothing to do with you. It is outside of your circle of concern. Learn to live with your new situation. It will not be bad forever. #2. Life does not stop just because you have a tragedy. Keep busy. #3. Meditate. Stay focused. Don't let insanity when.

MANY MANY MANY people have been right where you are. If they can do it, you can too. If your parents won't listen, go to a counselor, if you do not trust your counselor, talk to a friend's parent that you can trust. I know what it is like to have no where to go, believe me. Sometimes, you just have to deal, wake up, and keep truckin' along. I would write, vent (call a homegirl and just blow off some steam), take up extra hobbies (cheerleading, drama, band), or draw. Just do not ball it up. Cry cry cry cry if that is what it takes.Throw something (just not at someone). And remember to not take it out on yourself. When the chips are down, you may be the only living person you can count on, how can you do for yourself when you hurt yourself.

Cutting is a physical release of overwhelming emotional stress. The pain releases endorphins that help soothe and clear the mind of built up anger and anxiety. It's hypothesized that it could be caused by chemical imbalances and depression that make them lust for the endorphin release. It may be due to sensory arousal. They feel more real and alive while cutting themselves.

Self-mutilation will only leave you more depressed. The action can be a horrible burden of guilt on a youth. You're friends say stop, but why do so if it makes you feel better? There's other ways to feel release than bleeding yourself. Try running or jump roping. Okay, so maybe exercise isn't your thing, but be sure not to listen to depressed music in reminiscence. Read something you enjoy. Paint. Draw. Join a group in the local school or community center. Write poetry. Any combination of actions. Accept cutting for what it is and whether you decide to stop or not, don't feel guilty with your choice of action.

Sit your parents down and explain to them that you are serious and need help dealing with your depression. It's great that you know you need help and are willing to go get some. If they still don't listen, then go to a teacher or counselor on your own. Your school might have some and some places offer free services. Just stay positive and get some help. Don't let anyone bring you down.

If you are scratching now, you'll be throwing up next, then crying. You need to remember that it is not your fault. Your parents are human, and they are not perfect. Sometimes when parents are overwhelmed with their own problems they tend to overlook the problems they are creating for their children. Try some fish oil, some say it is good for depression. Go to your doctor, and tell him everything and how you feel. There is medicine that can help.

You are smart and know that you need help.Now you need to follow through and seek help for real.The depression and the cutting will only get worse if you keep waiting for someone else to save you. Talk to the person you know that will get the ball rolling the fastest.TELL THEM NOW. You can't help your Dad or anyone else if you can't first help yourself to be the best you can be.Best of luck to you.

I don't think you need to "chill out". It is easier said then done. If people are not or never been in your situation they have know idea. I think if you turn to church or something positive it will help you through this. I hope you understand "cutting and drugs" are not the answer. Jesus can be the best adrenaline rush you could ever have. Good luck!

I don't think you have severe depression. You are loyal to your dad. Your mom is away for now. You can have lots of boyfriends but only one mom and one dad. Relax things will get better. If dad is in depression you can't hold him up very long so be ready to go to mom.

What you need to do is tell someone that will listen! A priest, friend, whoever.... If there is nobody else, Call the crisis hot line. They can direct you to some one who can help and WILL LISTEN! Do not delay... call now! Also, look for support groups in your area. Good luck!!!

I like what purple says, sweety, you need to seek help, and I mean that in a good way. Your too into it now and your not going to be able to stop yourself, do what purple says, thats a good idea and also with help, hang around with posiive people, and dont be by yourself so much, go for a walk, ask yourself if its worth it.
