Answers:
You can't afford not to get professional help. I know the mental health system is in bad shape everywhere now, but still most areas have something available with a sliding scale.

Get on the websites for NMHA.org and NAMI.org and find the information on their local affiliates. And contact them. They'll know what's available in your area for mental health treatment.

And there are support groups depending on where you are. You know how to use the internet- 5 different online depression screenings-. Use it to find help. My ex is a dissociative identity disorder and I went through this with him. You just keep searching, the help is out there. Check also About.com, I bet they have a forum that fits your needs. I've written on their bipolar forums. If you post again, I may have a more specific answer for you, I'll keep my eyes open for a site that appears to fit your needs. And you may not want to hear it, but getting out of that family may be necessary if there's issues of abuse. If you're young enough the social service system may be able to help you.

Go to a doctor or have someone take you and get an anti-depressant. u need 2 tell some one.. they will help u.but u rally need 2 tell some 1 thats the wisest thing 2 do b 4 things get worse. i know its not goin 2 b easy but u really need support right now

If you can't get help from your parents, you need to a pastor or family friend you can help you. Even a school counselor can help you find a counselor who can help you. In the mean time, ask God to help you get through this.

Talk with someone as soon as you can. No immediately.

What about a school counselor, an aunt or uncle, a priest/minister/rabbi/etc? You're keeping things all bottled up and you need to let them out.

The people in your life love you and want what's best for you. Right now, that is getting you some help.

listen i need to talk to someone im here cuttin is not the anwser Do you really want to talk to someone in person? If you do, there are many people that could help you (relatives, friends, teachers, priests etc) But, if you don't feel comfortable with that, you could find someone to talk to online (on myspace or Yahoo) There are lots of people who experience the same things you do and talking with them would benefit you both.

You are in real danger. You have got to find someone you trust to talk to. Things do not get better with out change. I know that doctors are not the answer for everyone so find a adult to help.
