I did homework all day, so I started playing fortnite to relax.
I know, I know, it's a garbage game.
But I enjoy it.
I was building a castle in creative mode,
Then I asked my brother to join.
For context, I'm 14m, and he's 8m.
So we started playing a round with just each other.
Then my friend joined.
Normally I'd enjoy it.
But he destroyed me.
And normally I'd be fine with losing.
But for some reason, I started crying.
And I want to kill myself.
No clue why.
I think I have depression, as my dad and grandma both have it.
I'm not on medication,
And my mom and dad think it's just hormones.
They dont actually take it seriously.
I really hate that I have no reason to feel this way.
I have an awesome life.
My parents are awesome
My siblings are awesome,
And I have lots of stuff.
My life is perfect.
But I still want to kill myself
Anyway, thanks for listening to my rant.

If you like fortnite, then who gives a crap about whether it's a "good" game or not :)

2/2 try talking to one of your friends parents or one of your parents friends, life is worth it even when it doesn't feel that way

Yea, all sorts of folk deal with depression, and there is no shame in being affected by it, no matter your circumstance. Good luck, godspeed

Cant stress enough what you’re going through is valid, but it’s also temporary. Don’t give up.

We're here for ya Lil dude, i have felt that way since I was nine, I'm forty now and just now getting meds, I wish I'd done it at your age.
laxxe23
if you feel this way find an adult you trust and let them know. adults (sometimes) listen to others 1/2

It’s okay to not feel okay, it’s a valid thing to feel. Some people don’t understand that , that’s nothing you did wrong.

Solid dump! And sorry you feel depressed, friend. Love and hugs to you! ?

Why do you think it’s a garbage game? It always seemed fun though I’ve never played.

Whenever I get suicidal, I just think about how staying alive fucks up everyone's plans for when I die.

I’m a mom and I desperately wanna call your mom. You should lean on your mom. She cares more than you know. Even not so perfect moms care mo
thelonepig
I'm NOT a mom and I want to also. I want to invite this kid & his parents over for cookies and milk and a hug.
tenthousandwinters
Regardless of if it’s hormones or depression you shouldn’t be afraid to tell your parents you need help. Good dump, btw. I’m rooting for you

Depression is real. It does not care about the details. It just is. Talk to your doc or school counselor. Your life is precious!
ButThisisntAboutMe
You are already taking a step by being vocal about it. Proud of @op ! I echo the great advice and sentiments our fellow imgurians sent you.

As someone who has to remember this constantly: one day at a time. It's not a soap opera. I don't think anyway. And farts are still funny.
LeRubberChicken
Farts will always be funny.

Depression sucks. It doesn’t make sense, but be open with people and seriously seek help. Even when it gets better, find some support

You are enough and you are loved

Make sure your parents know you're not just sad sometimes. Suicidal thoughts change the equation, you should mention it to them. <3

Have you considered spending so.e actual time outside in stead of playing games online? Socializing in real life and doing small talk helps
LeRubberChicken
I dont have a job yet, and I dont go to public school, I'm home schooled, so socializing is pretty much out of the question.
t4d3jkVillain
Why would that have to be like that? Why shouldn't you interact with other children of you age? Says who?
HisBabes
Ask your parents for a Dr visit. Make up an illness if you have to. Talk to your doctor about depression if your parents won’t listen. -
HisBabes
Depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain & has nothing to do with how great your life is or your possessions. Do you have a school-

nurse or counselor you can talk to? Find a way to get to a doctor. Please.

I have a brother the same age going through the same stuff, and for a second I thought this was his post, but he's more of an Apex player 1/
thegirlwhocan
himself, they're both great outlets! We know what it's like to have meh parents so my best advice is to check out the school counselor 2/

They're free &friendly, I wish I utilized them more when I was younger. ALSO as big sister, very proud of you for doing your hw ? 3/
thegirlwhocan
Keep that mind sharp, don't be afraid of your emotions, and always feel free to make another dump, I should probably do the same!

You die at the end of your life already... what is the rush? Upvoted in hopes you find you way to inner peace

Also, consider that perhaps how you feel is a perfectly normal reaction to how things are (for now). they don't always have to be this way.
GentryFriedRichFillets
Do not beat yourself up for being sad when your life is "good." It's not your fault. It's your brain chemicals being all fucky.
sausagesandwich
Parents blaming their teenagers mental health on hormones is such a cop out. Get your child some help when they’re asking for it.
djxerxes9000
Yeah it may play a role but likely not the sole reason.
GentryFriedRichFillets
You're not wrong. Getring help's generally the best way of dealing with fucky brain chemicals, from my personal experience.
sausagesandwich
Absolutely. If my parents had gotten me help as a child instead of blaming hormones, I wonder how different my life would’ve been.
sausagesandwich
I’m nearly 30 & my mother still tries to blame my hormones when I’m being emotional. So I just don’t open up to her anymore. Feels almost-
sausagesandwich
Like gaslighting. Instead of validating I’m struggling and need support, she just brushes it off like it’s nothing.
