The first thing I would do is tell your parents that you feel like you would benefit from visiting with a counselor. You may find counseling to be really helpful. But I do want to ask you why you feel like your friends don’t care?

well, you do sound rather spoiled, to be honest. look at what you have in your life, and how taken care of you are.
many, many people dont have what you do.
be grateful for what you do have, and learn that sometimes depression is just a state of mind caused by the person themselves.

I went back and read some of your other posts. Seems like my advice is not the first you’ve received along that line. I also noted one poster who said she was diagnosed with depression due to a hormone imbalance. It does happen, but if you don’t talk to a school counselor or ask your parents to get you some help, you’ll never know.

And Urine Sane, sometimes people can’t help how they feel and there sometimes medical reasons for depression. Although I do agree with what you said about being grateful for what you have. I know I’m not as good about as I should be either . . .

im aware there are medical reasons for depression, i have it myself, and also a degree in Psychology.
however Clinically depressed people cannot function in life. this girl sounds like shes sad because shes not getting enough attention.

I understand, but since you have a degree in Psychology, you know that you can’t diagnose this girl based on the information in this limited post. If someone believes they are depressed, they should probably seek an in-person evaluation by professionals, right?

If your friends don’t care about your problems, then why don’t you talk to them anyway? you talk to them about the silliest things that bother you too. It’ll make you feel better.

And i’m sure it’s only that because you think a lot you feel you are responsible about things that go wrong in your family.

And even if you were, just think that next hour or next day, or even next few days at most everyone would forget about the problem…there are never/so rarely a problem that lasts longer…

it’s only a way of thinking, just try not to worry and make yourself feel better, try to forget for few times and then you’ll get accustomed to that and you wouldn’t worry much or feel depressed all the time

:) goodluck :)

i completely agree, however shes here asking for advice, and admits herself she sounds like a spoilt brat. so im just giving an opinion.
were she soooooooo depressed, im sure someone would have noticed by now, and she would already be in therapy.
i suggest she seek professional help for the attention seeking to figure out why she needs it, and to talk to her parents as they have the right to know whats going on in her life.

Yep, so we do agree then, Urine Sane.

So that’s two more votes for talking to your parents about this, so just do it! OK???

well, i for one dont want the attention. any well rounded person who doesnt have attention seeking issues doesnt want the attention.
you need to talk to your family and get help.
