Ok so I know plenty of depressed people, and they act happy, but they aren't. Sometimes at school i'll act sad, but idk why i'm sad. SOmetimes i'll just pretend i'm happy so people think nothings wrong. but somedays after school i just sit in my room and cry for hours wishing i was somewhere else in the world, and some days i'm really happy or i think i am, i cant tell if i am just happy for a little bit because i put myself down by going and doing things most 14 yr old girls dont do, like having sex and stuff. I've talked to my mom about depression but she thinks i'm too spoiled to be depressed. but i dont know what to do.
please help me. :frowning:

Bipolar? or depressed?

I would say that that is depression. I think you should go see a doctor and maybe see if it is really depression you're experiencing. In reply to: I've talked to my mom about depression but she thinks i'm too spoiled to be depressed wow....that is very rude of her. That has absolutely nothing to do with depression.

It's really hard to bring it up with my parents though, my doctor is like 20 minutes of a drive. and my mom is my only way thereand if i tell her i'm depressed she'll think its her fault for not making my life good.but she doesn't realize it has nothing do to do with her or anyone in my house.

try and explain to her that depression is not her faultl. Maybe get her to have a chat with the doctor if she doesnt belive you. If anything, he should be able to clear things up. Just convince her to take you there, and then she can hear everything from him.

I've talked to my mom about depression but she thinks i'm too spoiled to be depressedcan kind of relate to that..when i went through a really depressive time when i was 16 or so i told my mum and she just couldnt understand..she told me, youve got no reason to be depressed, youve got most things you could want..i dont know, its difficult to explain that to people who dont understand, maybe tell your mum your not feeling well just so you can go to the doctor or maybe talk to a teacher....

I've been going crazy lately, Its been insane. With my incredibly low self esteem, and this, I dont know what do expect. My mom also says I have many things most girls my age would DREAM of having.

your parents seem to have some serious insecurity issues if they can't even take there own Daughter to the doctor. I guess they assume throwing gifts and such at you will make your problems go away. Little do they know...IT WON'T!! Your not Bi-Polar. You didn't mention anything about having manic episodes. Sounds like just plain depression. There is help, but your going to need to reach beyond your parents to obtain it. Can you talk to a counselor at school?
