I'm 15 my aye few months ago my teacher called my mom and said I sleep in class and I'm falling so she gets home and take my game and so I told my self I'm going to do better and I did so one day I ask my mom can I have my game back and she says no and say I'm not getting it back for my b-day neither so i have developed an attitude like I don't care about anything anymore and I feel that my game was the only thing keeping me from going outside alot and getting in trouble so I feel lost.

Well other then lack of interest in pleasure-able activities I'm not showing any signs. xP I was dumped not even a week ago and sure I felt like complete crap the first two days now I'm not sure how I feel. I feel like I've somehow gotten over it this quickly which doesn't seem right to me. I've even tried to evoke sadness by imagining her with a different guy.. I can't get anything it's almost like I can't fathom it. Really sweet food isn't appetizing to me any more but healthy stuff is...

I'm 14, I've had depression for half my life (7 Years old) I started cutting in 5-6 grade & still do sometimes. I've tryed to commit suicide 6 times, I've relized it's not worth it anymore. I don't eat a lot & My friends have to force feed me.It's a struggle just to look in the mirror. To get away I draw or sing.I don't trust anyone so It's hard for me to talk to people. I'm here if people need someone to talk to.

i dont like going out anymore, i dont enjoy things as much as i used to, i stay up all night, and sleep in the day so i can avoid things, i look in the mirror and think that im not worth it, i tend to eat alot, even though im already fat and i shouldn't.

I dont know what to do, because when people ask 'why?' i just cant explain it, whenever i can get my hands on drinks, i'll drink them as quick as i can, just to feel that little bit of carelessness.

im 12.
