Suggest Solution For Depression

I have recently been very depressed. And when I am happy, i am easily brought down within minutes. Also, I seem to have no motivation for most things anymore. I am 15 years old, and i usually enjoy going to school to see my friends and now, i barely want to get up in the mornings. One of the most common thoughts in my head is suicide and i have cut my wrists once or twice thinking it might help me gain control of something, but to no avail. My friends notice things are different and are constantly asking me if i am okay. My mother is completely against the idea of me possibly being mentally depressed...and tells me its just a stage everyone goes through and it will go away soon...i also deal with a lot of bullying at school for my weight and my looks and everything someone can possibly think of...i've been called every name you can imagine by fellow classmates...please help me...whats wrong with me...?

Hi,

I disagree with your mother and I think you should seek professional help. You have made attempts to harm yourself and these should not be neglected. There is nothing wrong with you that cannot be corrected. Please do not shy away from seeking help just because it may not be considered cool or acceptable.

Best wishes.
