Unhappy Can't stop please please help!!!!!

I've never been diagnosed with depression. But i have lived kinda a hard life and im still goin through alot of stuff. I have had many friends in middle school and high school that have tried to commite suicide(im only 16) and have seen and heard more about it then most pple in a life time. I had a small eating disoarder about a year ago, and when my mom found she bugged out and i had to fix myself fast it was really hard bc no one wanted to help me. My conciler even asked if i just wasnt hungry! Im still goin through it alittle even time i put food in my mouth i have a struggle. However i have a new problem. About 2 months ago i began cutting myslef. I was so depressed and had no where to go. Then it became an addiction. Then i stopped. Then i got it a huge fight with all my close friendsand started again. I finally told this guy friend when i was really drunk. He brought up a few times and then dropped it. I had sex with this guy about a week ago. And hes been treateing me bad. liek not talking to me, and now spreading rumors around school about us. He keeps bring up his ex gf who cuts herself and wants adivce. It incomprehenciable how he could be so insentive. Anyway i've been cutting myself everynigth badly for about 1 week. I dont knwo what to do or who to tell i dont wunna get put in a mentla hospial.PLEASE HELP!!!!!

SHIMMERGLITZ,
You are not mental! But medication can really help those problems. Something like Prozac can help eating disorders and cutting. There is a lot of help out there. You are not crazy.
It's a real chemical thing in our brains that doesn't quite get the message to where its supposed to go. Those medications help that. So if you need it, it works, and if you don't need it, it doesn't just work as a "happy pill". It doesn't turn you into someone you're not. You are still the normal you on antidepressants.

Do you have a parent or someone you trust to talk too? Can you get to a Doctor to explain this to them?

Hang in there.

Junebug

If you don't want to get put in a mental hospital, you must eat!!! The very thing that creates neurotransmitters, which are the chemicals our brains need to function properly, is the synthesis of proteins! Without proper function, depression, self-hate, anxiety, etc. become the daily behaviors. You obviously have some issues that need to be resolved; some counseling may help you in determining why you won't eat or why you want to hurt yourself, but it is probably because you have had a bad time of life so far...but that can change. Also, once you get into a pattern of not eating, the stomach can shrink up and it becomes hard to eat. That you can work on it, though, and the stomach will stretch when you eat again. Meds can compromise health, so they should be considered last. Exercise is a good for developing appetite. Don't worry about the boy; he is no doubt a jerk. There are people in life that do you more harm than good; those people should be cast out of it.

Hopefully you are not drinking alot or taking other drugs because these alone can cause various mental disorders, including depression.

You are too young to have your life ruined over the circumstances in it.
