Depression/Overrecation

Jill

I am 11 years old and believe I am experiencing some type of depression. I feel sad and hopeless and cry oftenwhen no one is around. I have these "attacks" where if I am standing I will fall to my knees and if I am sitting I will curl into a ball. At these times I feel extremely trapped and hysterical. I have had two of those today, and one yesterday. They are getting more and more frequent. I also have recurrent thoughts of suicide and it's gotten to the point where I look at a knife and fall over because I think of how it would feel to be killing myself with it, pain and all. The other day I was on the roof with my father and wondered how it would feel/what would happen if I jumped, and if anyone would miss me. Do you think I have depression? And if so, what type? Also, how can I tell my family about this?

I think you do have depression. I dealt with it last year, and I went through some of those things myself. What you need to do is to talk to your family about it because this is serious. I saw a doctor and am now on medication, and I am feeling so much better.

@RetroGagaFreak How do I start the conversation? My parents are divorced, should I try to get them and my older sister in a room together before I sy anything?

I would start talking to my parents and say. " I think im going to need some help with the way Ive been feeling latley. Ive been really sad and depressed, and Im concerned I wont be able to handle it myself". Just be genuine and tell them how you're feeling.
