i want treatmetn but my parents refuse. they say that it will be recorded down.

seriously, i first had it at 12. then later at 15 and now at 16. it comes and goes but normally lasts for up to two weeks.


That's rough, but your parents might be right. You probably don't need treatment if it only lasts two weeks at a time and if you're not suicidal during those times. But if you do get suicidal, it can still be dangerous even if it doesn't last long enough to meet some clinical criteria.


i do get suicidal but i don't tell them...it's quite tough because when i'm depressed, i prefer to be alone and stay silent. i don't eat most of my meals. my depression happens for two weeks every episode...i get at least one every two months or so...

i tried to jump down the apartment building but someone saw me and stopped me.

i tried to slash my wrists but the scissors were not sharp enough.

i tried to down pills but i vomitted.

what kind of depression is it where you have all 9 symptoms, almost all of the time? (Like you DON'T have the symptoms for small bouts, maybe a few days at the most? )

The reason I ask, is, that I've been depressed like that for years. I have bouts of happiness, which confuses me, because most depressed people I've met tend to have the bouts of depression. I'm also suicidal, and there isn't a day where a stop thinking about death, writing my will, giving all my stuff to charity, etc.
