you can talk to your mom about it maybe she can figure out whats wrong =) if not get an appointment with a psychologist or a counsellor
try asking your dad
Have you tried telling her that?
I don't think she will think you are lying...ask your dad if she doesn't believe or a friend.
Talk to someone about it and get some help...
you gotta tell her
Why would she think you were faking it?
Make her listen, period.
Keep it up just keep talking and she will eventually get it.
and if she doesn't talk to someone who will believe you!
Start with your school counselor. If you are going to see your regular doctor, bring it up there as well. Depression is very real and should be checked on as soon as possible. I was treated for a few years and with the help of regular counseling and medication, I am doing great today.
Just ask to go to your doctor because you feel sick. When your mom steps away to use the washroom, tell him everything and he can at least persuade your mom.
Talk to the school counsellor. They would know if you are depressed by a test that you answer questions to. They would also know what to do about it.
call the boys&gurls club of america they will help you talk to your mom and help her get you help. do not wait do it now
I'm sure your mother will understand if you just talk to her (it's really weird how moms just KNOW these things). Talk with her about the way you feel and that you really mean what you're saying. Be sure to include the part about wanting to get help for it, and make sure you let her know exactly what you are feeling.
Hope it helps!
what makes you think u r depressed? tell ur mom anyways n if she thinks ur faking.keep tellin her But tell her how u feel n what makes u think ur depressed
im pretty sure i know all about being depressed.

or
if ur school has a counseler go to that person they r trained to deal with depression
but if u ever need someone to talk to u can always email me at cowboy76360@yahoo.com im definitely always willing to help someone who is goin thru something ive been thru
Definitely tell your mother. Tell her how you are feeling and that you would like some help with it. If for any reason she doesn't get you help (either talking with you about it, going to a therapist or helping you deal with it). Talk to your school counselor, they will be able to have someone talk to you or help you and your family arrange for that.
Depression is very common and you are very, very smart to want help with this. Maybe there are also other family members you may talk to, an aunt or grandmother?
I would suggest talk to a counseler at school cuz I understand the whole parents not believing you. Most parents dont want to admit their child needs help so most of the time they'll ignore it.
The best way to approach this is to talk to your mother when nothing else is bothering her. Don't talk to her about it when she's on the phone, etc. It is best to seek some help from your community (school.blah blah blah) if you need support in talking to your mom. The best way to approach her is to not become defensive and make it into an arguement, because then she'll be reminded about the arguement every time that you talk about depression. The best way to do it is just to be straight forward and honest about your feelings. Not only will your mother take the subject matter more seriously, she will also realize that you are being open and honest with her, unlike several teens your age. Sometimes parents just like to deny what children are saying because they don't want to deal with it. She'll soon realize that this can be a serious problem if you really talk about it.
hey, there's an old saying..."the best friend in the world is the one who knows you best", and who do u think knows u best but ur mom? i don't think she'll think ur faking it, just go to her on one of ur worst days, she'll see that ur not faking...if she really cares anyway. tell her ur depressed...she'd believe u of all ppl. ask her if she'd perscribe u medicine or get u doctor appointments, she'll listen. if u want a way out, talk to ur mom. she's the best therapist rite there...even if it IS embarrassing at first. trust me...i've been thru that all!! :) good luck, don't give up.xxxxxx
I'm 15 and about six months ago I was diagnosed with mild depression. Luckily my mom has depression also, so she actually told me that I most likely had it and we went to the doctor. Here are some symptoms of depression...
Change in appetite
Trouble sleeping
Irritibility
Lack of concentration
Lack of motivation (even for simple things such as taking a shower or getting a drink from the kitchen)
Aches and pains
Thoughts of death or suicide
Things you usually enjoy are unappealing
Don't be afraid to talk to your mom about it, I know my dad thought I was faking because he didn't understand completely how I was feeling. Just be honest and open, talk about anything you need to talk about. If by some chance she believes you're faking, just tell her that you want to go to the doctor. Who will think you're faking it when you willingly want to visit a doctor's office? I did that with my dad and he knew right away something wasn't right.
People who haven't gone through it can't understand how we're feeling exactly no matter how hard they try. Have your mom do some research on it on the internet.
If things get serious enough, like if you feel like you might hurt yourself in any way, go to the emergency room. They have doctors and nurses there especially for mental health. Trust me.
The sooner you're able to get some help, the sooner you'll start feeling better, hun. If you ever need to talk about it, you can e-mail me, ok?
My dear friend, depression is nothing to be taken lightly. For many years I suffered from clinical depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Conditions that diminished my quality of life. The longer you ignore the symptoms, the greater your risk of clinical depression. Put your health first and insist on councelling to diagnose your challenges. There are many questions to be asked to determine if you suffer from depression. I am currently writing a book on the condition and would be happy to converse with you on my experience. Depression is sometimes genetic and is somethings the result of trauma, either of which is treatable. Anyone who is depressed or even believe they are depressed, please contact me @ rmmthe10@yahoo.com and I will gladly share exerpts from my writing to help you on the road to recovery. I am passionate about the treatment of depression and would love to be a resource in your life. Knowledge is empowerment and I would be glad to share my knowledge with you.What good is knowledge if it is hidden away is a secret, private place. I really do care and am more than willing to offer you council and advice.
