Sweety you sound as sad as I was at your age.  I often thought of ending things and wondered why live a life feeling so yucky and bland. 

This is Depression hun, you really should tell your doctor!!  The chemicals in your brain are causing these feelings.  There are ways to make it better. 

You really do matter, and life can get very fun, and you can see your true friends without feeling nothing. 

I used to tell myself...I only REALLY smile/laugh once in a blue moon, I want to get to a place where feeling sad and blue was only once in a blue moon.  Guess what...I got there and you can too! 

Here is a list of meds you could look over with your doctor  http://www.anxietyzone.com/index.php/topic,223.0.html

Please talk to him if not anyone else.  You do not have to live like this.  And post your feeling here.  We would love to help support you while you work this out.

I dont realy want to take meds (dont even take paracetemol) is there anyother way i could get help?

Ive started to tell my frinds theyve all been supportive i asked one for advice on what to do and he told me to see a Advisor in our school so its confidential so im on the first step to get help (just have to find him now arghhh) Not feeling too bad to day

Hi Gaz, its no problem i hope this site is helping you.
Im glad you have been able to tell people it took me over 2 months to get the guts to tell people lol.
I think our school adviser is one of the people working for connexions. If you would prefer it you could try talking to a teacher you trust, they will probably help.
Reading this post it felt like it could have been me

Im most likely going to ask our head of year for an appointment (she likes me :) ) then see where it goes from there then eventuly ill tell my parents somehow (somehow not in person hehehe )
and thank you and you 2 apple

[sadgirl]

Yes i told my mom by text, she was fine with it she was just happy i had told her
You could leave them a note somewhere when you are going out. The connexions person would even tell them for you.
Good luck

I'm so glad to hear your moving forward hun!!    I do beleive you will be ok.  Talkin to someone that can offer you help in school is a great start, and maybe after that you will feel stonger and able to tell your Mom.  I just know in my heart if my daughters ever felt like you, like me at that age, I would be soo greatful that they told me.  I pray it never happens. 

Look at how brave you are!!  It is so hard to tell people how bad you feel.  We will be here to support you while you search for the help you need.  Anytime.

Did you think about maybe seeking out some kind of therapy? Talking to someone other than your parents and friends can be really helpful, especially if you really do have clinical depression. That kind of depression is something that you just can't shake, because the chemicals in your brain are mis-firing. You can learn how to to feel better, but getting a councelor is the first step. A website you can go to to find a therapist is goodtherapy.org They have councelors from all over the world and they beileve that people can heal.

Hope this helps, and hope you feel better!
