That's a good sign. You definitely need professional help, there is no doubt about that. You have got to learn to love yourself and learn to cope with stress in life. I do not judge you in any way because of your age. What a 13 year old feels when depressed is no different than what a 30 year old feels when depressed. Depression hurts at any age. As far as your cutting is concerned. There is treatment for that as well. You just need to see a mental health professional right away. The marks you make on your body will be with you for a lifetime. You don't want that, I promise! If you don't feel comfortable approaching your parents, ask your school counselor for some help. I'm sorry you're hurting and hope you get better soon. I am going to include a website that might help you find the courage to get some help. God Bless you!<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.teenlineonline.com/newsevents.asp?item=news&id=11 The fact that you took the time to type this message tells me that you don’t want to live life this way anymore.

Yes! You definitely need professional help, and as quickly as possible. As for how to ask your parents about it... Well, there are several strategies you could use. You could see your school counsellor, who can give you some advice and could also call your parents on your behalf to talk about things. Given your concerns, they should be reporting what's going on as you could be in some danger. The other option is to go straight to your parents. You haven't talked about your relationship with them, but there isn't always an easy way to talk about mental health. You might need to just come out and tell them, and show them the marks from the razor blades if they don't believe you. On the other hand, perhaps they're understanding of mental health, in which case just tell them about how you've been feeling and ask them for help. There are also childrens help lines in most countries that are either free or very cheap. It could be a good idea to call one. Regardless of what you do, please gain some professional help. The concerns you've raised sound quite real and can be quite serious and it seems like you need some assistance in learning more adaptive ways to cope with your fears or worries than the strategies you have been using.<br><b>References : </b><br>I have a psych degree Self-harming, possible alcohol addiction, binging and purging, and thoughts of overdosing?
