Question by Scarlett: I think I might have depression/be depressed?
I don’t know exactly when it started, but I am 14 and I just hate my life. I cut my thighs/hips. I cry all the time even for no reason. I don’t know why, but I feel guilty because I know people have it much worse than me. My dad is an alcoholic ever since I can remember, and he is ALWAYS drunk. Always. My parents split when I was mayb in 5th grade, and now I am in 8th grade. I remember one time me and my sister had to pull my parents apart because my dad was choking my mom. I remember one time my dad was threatning my mom with a broom and then my mom said “Scarlett, help!” And I tried to come in but my dad pushed me away. He doesn’t live with us anymore, but he drops by every once in a while…When he isn’t drunk he is actually kind and funny. But he never gives me a christmas or a birthday gift… This year on my birthday in March, he was in my driveway when i came home on my birthday. I thought maybe he came for my birthday! I was really happy. But then as I was walking up to him he said “why do you have a cake in your hand?” It. was. my. birthday. Thanks for remembering “dad…” I tried to act like I didn’t care, but it really hurt me. No matter how much I hate him, he could at least remember my birthday… I’m sorry I am ranting on..
He also doesn’t pay child support anymore and my mom is a single mom who tries her best. But it is just hard sometimes when I can’t do all the other things my rich friends can.
My teacher this year causes so much stress on me. He hates me, he makes my life a living hell and I absoloutly despise coming to school.
I used to be a straight A student, and now I get c’s and I failed like 5 tests in the past 2 monthes… I don’t even care about school at all anymore. I don’t try, I don’t do my homework and I don’t work.
I used to be really athletic and tried out and made every sports team! I loved sports. Now I don’t try out for anything, and I really don’t have an intrest in it anymore. I lost intrest in so many things I used to love to do. I used to watch tv, and play video games. Now I just sit in my room, or reblog on my depressing tumblr. I also used to like texting my friends and my crush, now I just stare blankly at their text and I don’t know how to respond.
I have friends, I don’t get bullied, I have a wonderful mom and a really nice sister. So why do I feel this way? I don’t even try anymore. I cry randomly and sometimes just tear up in class. I feel worthless and hopeless.. But im also really insecure about the way I look.. I can’t help but think ugly. ugly ugly, worthless worthless worthless, stupid stupid stupid.
I have seriously considered suicide. I have planned out suicide notes in my head, and thought of the way I would kill myself. Im not ready yet, but I just can;t handle it anymore. What is the point of life? You go to school, you work, you become old and cant do shit. What is the fun in that? Life is so stressful. Cutting helps me relieve all of the horrible thoughts that are constantly in my mind. Last night i was in my room from 9-11 pm. I had bad feelings in my head, i cut and all of it went away. As soon as i stopped cutting, they all came back and i lay in my bed until i cried myself to sleep. No one understands how I feel. Do i have depression or something? I could never tell my mom to take me to a doctor or anything… Thanks! Sorry for wasting your time, I just feel alone and have to let out how i feel.

Question by Ruby: How do I stop drinking without any professional help?
People told me not to go cold turkey just lessen the amount I usually do gradually but that is definitely not an option. Any tips and tricks or steps I can do without paying 12.99 via paypal or whatever the Internet had to offer. Btw I work at a bar where everyone drinks around me and I’ve been drinking for a couple years but this year 2012 started getting heavy with harder booze
