Hi. I'm 14yrs. old. Well to make a long story short, I have become severly depressed, started to take painkillers about a year ago, have cuts my wrist a couple times, etc. I am trying to quit now but it's soo hard!!!

Hi,
You are so young.......I have a daughter your age and I am debating have her talk to you too. I have a few questions....I saw your full post, you have stopped the pills. I want to ask you a few questions, can you talk to your parents or another adult you trust, also do you think you might have been depressed before you started talking the pills. The pills themselves cause depression when you come off of them.
Many teenagers suffer from depression, which can be controlled with medicines that would help you live your young life more happily........
I will be here write back,
Tina

14 years old?? How the heck can you afford this habit? Us adults have to work long and hard for our habits here.. What are you depressed about? Maybe your parents should get their head out of their @$$es and realize their daughter has already attempeted suicide on more then one occasion..They should by now know there is something wrong with you.. They dont notice the scar tissue from the incident you had? How did you cut your wrists and have them notice that you were in the hospital? Plus at your ripe youthful age the pain killers are really damaging your body. Your fragile body didnt even fully mature yet, and its already being corrupted and contaminated with Legal but dangerous narcotics..We can offer you Moral support here, but what i think you should do is tell your parents.. If you cant acquaint with them, i'd advise you to tell an aunt or uncle that care for you.. I'm sure more then anything they will be more concerned for your safety.. Well i hope you have good luck in life.. This is a touchy subject because you are soo young or i would have ripped you like i've done to others.. If your parents are the ones causing your pain and agony, call a close family member or even the police.. TTYLATA.. wb
hey not to debate about depression and treatments in teens, but i have read and again not totally educated about the subject. but could pull up some research online that anti-depressents and teens is a dangerous combo. for some reason studies have shown that suicide is more prominent with teens taking antidepressants. counceling and support groups would be my suggestions. but teen years are very challanging and confusing. if you can talk to someone and help sort out some confusion. find someone you can trust and confide in. everyone will have thier own experiences and advice. just dont feel awkward asking about anything you dont understand. after all we are all in this the same. keep talking to us and maybe you will get some better insight and take comfort in knowing there is a solution. again you are not alone. it isnt anything to be ashamed of. you are doing the right thing by reaching out.

hey EE,
i respect and admire your honest non sugar coated advice but this time lets have a little more compassion. your talking to a very confused troubled child crying out for some help and i am sure she wants to feel safe. it sounds like she is already scared. i love reading your posts. but this time i am worried. i have a teen daughter the same age and i have seen first hand through her friends about this kind of thing. i respect you buddy. just sit back on this thread and try and be more careful of how you word what you want to input please. thank you : )

Thank-you people who replyed.
I noticed that most of you were talking about your children, so I guess that all of you are older than me. I appreciate how you responded and I hope that I can connect to some of you. I hate to say it but I can't tell my parents, it's impossible. I don't live with my real parents, because my dad was an a$$ and took off when I was a baby, and my mom is a druggy hanging around in the quarters.
My parents I live with(my great grandparents) don't listen to me. We have the hardest time getting along. We can't even go to the mall without coming home pi$$ed. My mom I live with already thinks I'm going to turn into my mom right off the bat. There isn't another family member that I can talk to because they all live in Kentucky and I live in Florida. I have a brother but I just can't tell him. I would feel soo ashamed that it'd be crazy. MISTYEYES....I would be glad to talk to your daughter. Even if I don't know her I would still not want her or anyone else to turn out like me

Rae I'm in Labelle. It's such a small puiny town that you probably haven't heard of it lol. It is really hard to live with my great grandparents because of our age differences. I'm 14, my "mom" is 73 and my "dad" is 74. About a year or 2 ago my mom had to have knee surgery, she had to pretty much rely on me for assistance with her knee exercises, and getting help with certain things.
You know how when you step up on the sidewalk from the parking lot? Well she has trouble keeping herself balanced so when we are about to step up on the sidewalk I stand there and let her put her hand on my shoulder to help her stay balanced...

Punkbaby,
I don't know is you are still around this morning.......The reason I put up talking to my daughter is because she has a friend that is going down a bad road and she also knows what hell her dad went through to get off the pills.......I see that you came back on last night and talked some. That is good. I love that you wrote you like school, my daughter does too.......she is also in 9th grade, and the mall talk..........Yes I think we worry to much about you kids.......
I hope that you are feeling alittle brighter today....
You take care,
Tina

HaHa rae, i've stole your wish im 21<< Youthful, and immature.. Well to add to that punkbaby i handled your post wrong cuz you're young.. If MY little sister had issues and found out, i'd never think about roasting her.. I forgot how it was in Ninth grade, how confused i was, and how it was adapting to different enviorments.. Emotions run high and low there, so its basically a really confusing distracting time in life..Tell your brother.. It wouldnt crush him, it would show you are reaching out..Fortunatily my sister is the "GOOD CHILD", i was never yet put into that situation to give her advice on what she should do..But even in my position i'd do what i can for her.. Im eight days clean right now, and i'd bet you didnt put close to as many oxys down your esophogus since you started then i did in the last five months alone.. If i can stop, you can, i promise the pain will ease... Dont get to my age or even some of the Veterans in heres age to realize what you're doing.. im 21 and been addicted for 4 years and it aint fun at all..It will just keep getting worse... Keep posting here if you want, you'll eventually read enough horror stories to get Marbles to tell someone.. I wish you luck.. Boo yah i agree she was too young to speak direct to.. lata mwazz ladiez
Erratic euphoria and phillys215finest the same person Punk by the way...
hey punk baby,
philly's right you dont want to be my age and fighting those demons. i'm 35. and your a beautiful person who deserves a childhood with football games, proms and homecomings. or whatever else your pretty little heart desires and dreams about. even at phillys ripe young age. i bet he could relate better to you about being hooked at your age and how it feels scary and who to tell. my daughters friends who is dealing with this told my daughter and some of her friends. they encouraged him to talk to the school councelor. from there he got the very safe help he needed. this happened just before christmas vacation. you still can email me anytime you like. i could share more of josh's story with you. as a matter of fact josh uses aim and i know he would be more then happy to talk to you himself if your interested just email me. if you feel safer trying to sort things by posting then you do that. just hang around and keep talking.
