Printer-friendly versioni have had on and off depression for the past 4 years i have tried to kill myself several times. my mum doesnt want me taking antidepressants but just as i think my life is getting better and i am better it all falls apart. i cant stop self harming and i feel i have reached the point were my life is supposed to end. please help me what so i do? x
You need treatment. It doesn't sound like you're able to do it on the very limited support you're getting and that's perfectly normal. A lot of people with major depression, well, it's a mental illness, you can't just overcome it because somebody else feels you should.
If you feel you're going to kill yourself then get treatment NOW because there's no guarantee you'll make it through another suicide attempt. Is there any way your mother will help if you're suicidal now, at least get you into some sort of intensive treatment? You need more than just weekly therapy if you feel this suicidal. If not, you may need to seek help from another trustworthy adult (be careful on that one).
What are her reasons for no medication? I know that some parents are scared because some anti-depressants actually cause some teenagers to feel more suicidal. It has to be done carefully under a psychiatrist's supervision
