Honey! You should not be ashamed of feeling depressed. Everyone feels depressed at one point in their life, and you are not alone. I went through depression for almost a whole year. Your mother may just be feeling very down, stressed, or even depressed herself and that is why she said that. I'm sure she loves you and I know she doesn't mean it. Don't feel guilty, either; NOTHING is your fault. And don't put scratches on yourself, too; You, as a human being, are an incredible person and have every right to be on this earth. You do not deserve them. Try talking to your mother and sort out the problem or, if you don't feel comfortable, a trusted adult or friend/friend's parent about the problem. Good luck sweetie.

My best advice to you would be to find someone to talk to. Rather it be a friend, family member, therapist, even someone online!

I dont know what was on your list but scratching yourself isnt something to be ashamed of. It is something you should get control of.

I started scratching and it lead to actually cutting.

Dont be ashamed or feel guilty. You just need to find a healthy way to express your emotions. Some people can figure that out by themseleves and some people need help from someone else.

Beat wishes to you xx :)

Everyone has **** to deal with. If I wrote my mom a list she would tell me to stop bitching about it. So I will tell you the same thing. STOP BITCHING ABOUT IT. We all have alot of **** to deal with. If you hurt yourself you are dumb or emo. I know people are gonna talk **** back to me but c mon.

**** happens. If you saw my life you would know.

Oh, gosh. Your mother should be ashamed not you. You are a gorgeous, perfect person don't you ever cut yourself. Your mother needs to stop. She is only making it worse. Tell her how you feel and that you need her support instead of her disappointment You also need to talk to a counselor. Please, do not cut yourself. You most like do not deserve it do not tell yourself that. You are perfect inside and out. Talk to your mom, stop worrying about her, talk to a counselor, and move on with life. I know it's not easy, but if you really want and NEED to change, please just follow my advice. Talk to a counselor with your mother. Do family counseling. You are a child of God, you are perfect. For those people who can't see you in Jesus's eyes, they suck. Also, go to church. I swear it works. I'm not a very holy person, but whenever I feel down I go to Church. Listen to what he says, pray, and worship the Lord. I promise everything will turn around. Church is your answer. Ask yourself this: Do I really want to get help? If yes, then follow these steps:
1. talk to your mother
2. take family counseling
3. pray
4. go to church
5. look in the mirror and name all of the good things about yourself
6. love life.

experiance

Good for you for trying to reach out to an adult with your problems. It's difficult to put things into words, but you made an attempt with your list. Your mother's reaction may indeed be tinted with her own sadness and problems, but it is too bad she was not able (for whatever reason) to support you and give you some good advice or feedback about what is troubling you.

It also sounds like you are in the role of worrying about your mom; that is a heavy burden for a child to bear.

PLEASE don't stop looking for help. You need to reach out to another caring adult in your life and get some support. Is there an aunt, a grandmother, a school therapist, school counselor, school social worker or nice neighbor who might be able to help? You are in a vulnerable state of mind, and have started injuring yourself to release internal pain.

Don't be ashamed that you are struggling; be proud of your efforts to survive and thrive.

Best wishes and healing thoughts to you.
