Feeling suicidal isn't a normal part of "just feeling down." you need to talk to someone.
I wish you luck. It will get better if you just hang in there!
Oh gosh. what I can say: write in a journal, try playing with your pets if you have some, talk to a guidance counselor, you know, all that normal stuff. I know, being 14 is seriously hard. you must tell someone about your problems. all of your problems. lots of girls have been there before, you're not alone at all. Hang in there and lots of sympathy from me! xoxo ~whatevbookwrm687~
you know what...what is normal?? really??? ill be honest here, i had a terrible violent childhood. and I spent a lot of time depressed i guess you could say....lots of people grow up in dysfunction so you are not alone...but..if you are feeling like you want to kill yourself then this depression needs to be treated. you need to talk to a doctor if you cant talk to your family about it, just take yourself in and tell them you are feeling like committing suicide....how you feel will pass, and things will get better and you can get treatment ie: talk to others like you in a support group, go on medication, see a psychologist....depression effects people of all ages and it is not a good feeling to have..perhaps you have a mental disorder that can be helped...
my point is, talk to your family, friends, school counseller, a teacher anyone and get help, because as hard as life is some times there is also a lot of good out there....and as shitty as your life is seeming now, in 10 years you will have the life YOU want for YOURSELF....you can make things the way YOU want them to be.....good luck..please take my advice
It is not uncommon to feel this way. So many people are depressed, confused about the future, and hurt by dysfunctional family issues.
