Mental Health: Should i tell my mom?

Should i tell my mom?ok, so im like an emo person, i cut myself and dress in dark clothes and the makeup and stuff, and i was on here and a pop up came and it was like on about.com:depression. so i clicked on it and i took the test and it said i was depressed, 9 out of 10 of my answers were yes. I've thought about suicide, but i know i would never do it. ive had nights when i stay up crying cuz i don't know what to do with my life. i don't think i belong here, and it feels like i wasn't suppose to be here. i don't know if i should tell my mom. the test said to go to a national mental Health association? it said i could be suffering from clinical depression. im only 12, im about to turn 13 the end of august, so do you think i should tell my mom?

Answer by Big Rigg
yes

Answer by let me have my fractured logic
If you worried about it before you took the test, then yes.

The tests usually make you feel like you have all the symptoms, I know what you mean.
Everyone gets depressed sometimes and thinks about suicide, but it doesn't mean you have Depression.
I've done exactly the same thing, and even posted the same question!

Cutting yourself sounds pretty serious.
So don't take advice from the test, do what you think is right

Answer by Clare
off course you should tell your mum, she will be able to help you Or take you to a doctor for advice. You shouldn't feel this way & depression is a very treatable condition.

Try & get some exercise to as it releases endorphins in your body which are "Happy Hormones" & so help low mood

Get well soon & get some support.

Take care xx.
