Hello everyone. First off, thanks for taking the time to read this. I am a twelve year old girl, and I am relatively upset daily. My twin sister has severe autism, for as long as I can remember. I find it hard to cope beside on a daily basis, and thinking about it brings me to tears. I don't really enjoy a father, nor did I grow up with any father figure properly. My mother has raise me and my siblings and has been amazing. I see my dad 4 hours a week or so, but I miss him a lot. The fruitless thing is, he always makes you consistency as if you did something wrong, or you are not good enough. My family friend, a 15 year frail boy whom I am very close to, suffers from social phobia and depression, since his parents are seperated. I worry about him greatly, since I love him heaps. Also, I feel...pressured. I have no one to address to, or anyone who really...understands who I am. I have lost all my friends for one use or another, except my bestfriend. She is on vacation, and I can't confide to her, nor do I want to worry her. I am different from the other kids my age, and pretty much a loner. I feel sombre a lot of the time, and very self concious of my looks, especially my weight. I hold been slightly overweight all my life. But, I am getting thinner. I own nowhere else to go...Any help? Thank you all surrounded by advance...

Send an email to jo(a)samaritans.org

The website for The Samaritans is http://www.samaritans.org/

My sister (who just turned 14) have been feeling very depressed not long. She has possible OCD, anxiety disorders, AS etc. and has been attitude very down - she started cutting a few days ago.

She started emailing The Samaritans a couple of days ago, and has be feeling much better since. They help you help yourself, and consent to you speak about everything and anything.
Just send them exactly what you wrote to us, and wait a few hours for their reply (it usually take 4-6 hours for a reply).

Hope this helps and good luck,

I think the chief thing is to remember that there's always hope, even in the darkest situation. It may seem to be a little cliched for me to tell you this, but as someone who's been through depression, I kinda know what I'm conversation about.

If you would like to have someone to have a chat to (or maybe just another friend?) about this, you could email me at little_honey_muffin(a)yahoo.com.

Chin up! You are loved! :)

"I am different from the other kids my age, and pretty much a loner."

Wrong. Realize this--even though you may feel alone, you are never alone. Everybody have experienced extreme sadness/depression, everybody feels alone in the world in their darkest moments. You're not the merely one who has suffered, so the whole world is not out to get you.

In reality, your life in comparison is bleak to everybody else and therefore you are not the merely isolated figure who suffers from self esteem issues and depression.

Look for an outlet to relieve your sadness, you can't always confide within people because honestly, they won't understand. Nobody understands you better than you, so don't shift looking for somebody who will understand you. Find a passion, a hobby in which you can revise to express your sadness in other forms. Writing. Sports. Painting/Drawing.

Hi Kimme, I used to work in a school and worked beside autistic kids. I know first hand how big of a responsibility it is and how the other siblings can get left out. Some of the things I've see the other kids do is participate in sports. It really helps to blow stale a lot of steam, gives you more energy and also an opportunity to generate new friends. If sports are something you really can't deal with try art or writing. You can start a diary or exchange the format to a story using things from your real life but making it a story by adding your own wishes, dreams, or solutions. With your dad Please don't nick his words personally. He's taking his own shortcomings out on you. Don't let him. Love him and enjoy his company as best you can but try to hold the bad stuff at the door when he leaves. One other bit of advice is talk to your university counselor. They're there to help get you through tough times close to this. I hope some of this will help you out. Give it a try, the more things you try and the more resources you use the better you'll feel. Hugs :)

Being honest with you your in an upstetting situation your going through alot of change at the moment and you maby feeling a bit lonley but all girls your age and mine feel concious give or take a few there look's and weight but you just own to get some help talk to someone almost how your feeling and dont keep it all inside confer to your mum and make her understand how your feeling and dont dance through this by yourself belive me. And dont worry to much about loosing all you friends because it happen alot and remember 'STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIVE IN EVEN IF IT MEANS STANDING ALONE' and ' BE WHO YOU ARE AND SAY WHAT YOU FEEL BECAUSE THOSE WHO MIND DONT MATTER AND THOSE WHO MATTER DONT MIND'
hope that helped and your not alone.
