Ok i have sever depression and im on prozak well lately i hadent been taking it and i was cutting myself well i went to cox north b/c my parents found out well they thought it might be because i wasnt taking it well i went home and and there making sure i take it and now im still doing it i dont know if its because it needs 2 be increased or if i need 2 get it changed but i dont want 2 go 2 the doctor because they might want to send me back to cox north and that place doesnt help!!:confused:

sounds to me like you're not being properly treated. i don't know what cox north is, but i imagine it is a hospital / treatment facility of some sort.

1. If you do want to get better, you NEED to take your medication. please do not play around with your life!

2. If you are still cutting yourself, and the doctor knows about it, he will not necessarily send you back to that place. You need to be calm and rational when you speak to the doctor and your parents, and tell them that you're not feeling much of an improvement on what you are being prescribed now, and you know you can get much better either if they increase your current dosage of prozac, or if they change it to some other form of anti-depressant.

3. Only you know what you feel inside. the more truthful you are with the doctor, the more help s/he will be able to give you.

you sound young to me. don't be too afraid. you can be, and you are in control of yourself. you can overcome life adversities, but do not keep it inside. the more you keep stuff that bothers you inside of you, the more you will hurt yourself. be open, be frank, tell your doc how you really feel about things (not only about wanting to cut yourself, because that's only a symptoms that something else is going bad around you).

ultimately, be open to your doc about your real feelings about your parents. it sounds to me you keep a lot of stuff inside and don't tell them much about you and your needs.
please take care of yourself, as you would of a best friend!!

Cox North is like a psych ward which in Springfeild!!i know i need 2 take my meds an i was but i went 2 the creek an got back an some were missing an i figured my mom would think i took them then i waited till i ran out an still didnt say anything 2 her but now i am taking my meds and there not helping i told my mom cause she found out ladt night that i started cuttin again an she asked why i would do that an told me she was there 4 me and she would take me 2 the doc. 2 day an she did but she ciouldnt seee me so i have to wait till 2morrow but i want 2 cut now!!i am going to be honest but im still scared cause i dont want 2 go back!!i am only 13 almost 14 but idk what to do any more everytings going to hell it seems like!!I dont know i just hate talking bout what i feel like to people who care cause i dont want them to worry bout me i dont know what to do!!!

dear lost,

what is it that bothers you so much? i know teen years can be very bad and many people go through their teens unhappy and sad/depressed.

what do you think about that makes you feel so bad? you know you can always talk about it here...maybe there are people on this site who have/had the same problem like you, and maybe they can help with words, if nothing else. i know it's hard to talk to parents!

you must be a sweet and caring person, and it sucks when stuff doesn't go right in life, doesn't it? but i've been there, and i understand you.

dont' be afraid to be yourself, but please, please, don't hurt yourself, at least today.

here for ya,
dakota
