13 years old, feeling depressed and afraid to tell your parents?

Hello, young lady. I can see the confusion you are facing, and I'm here to help.

You are experiencing some emotional problems. Let me give you a warm hug again.

If you think you are depressed, your parents should take you to the specialist department of a designated Grade III hospital for a more detailed examination.

But you can't tell them because they're only concerned about your younger brother.

Tell your parents you need to see a doctor. There's no other way.

Seek help from the school counselor. The services she provides are free of charge.

If you don't feel well, the psychologist will also arrange an appointment with your parents for a face-to-face meeting.

You can also turn to the platform's free one-on-many chat rooms.

The hosts of the counseling rooms are psychologists, counselors, or heart exploration coaches. They will be able to give you better advice.

You will find an effective solution to the problem you are facing soon.

That's all I have to say.

My answers above are helpful and inspiring to you, young lady. I am the answer, and I study hard every day.

Here at Yixinli, the world and I love you. Best wishes!

Hello, little beauty! I just want to give you a big hug and let you know I'm here for you.

From your question, I can see your emotions: sad, upset, helpless, hopeless, desperate, aggrieved? You are clearly not feeling well, and it's affecting your mental health. You're suffering so much, and I can see you're scared to tell your parents because you know your position in the family. You know your parents have shown more concern about money than about your physical and mental health. Perhaps they've done this many times, and you don't know if they do it on purpose or unintentionally. You don't know if they really care about your physical and mental health. You only see that when your brother is not feeling well, your parents show that they care and are concerned. But when it's your turn, they don't.

It's okay to feel depressed sometimes. We all need someone to care about us and treat us with love and respect. You're still young, and it's really tough for you right now. I'm here for you, and I'm sending you a big, warm hug.

From this question, I can also see your bravery. I applaud you, my dear. You are great. At such a young age, you have already done a very good job by coming to this platform to ask your question. You have surpassed many people your age. Your awareness is also quite good. You feel your psychological discomfort and are eager to seek treatment. Then, find an opportunity when your parents are in a good mood, tell them about your situation, and clearly express your needs. I'm sure you'll gain their understanding, support, and help.

No matter what, you can be as brave as you were when you came to the platform for help. Just tell them first, no matter how much love your parents have for your younger brother and how little they have for you. They definitely love you too! Maybe if you tell them the details, they will meet your needs.

Come on, little beauty, I'm here for you!

The world and I love you so much!

My dear child, I wish I could give you a hug from afar.

You are at a critical period in your life, and it would be beneficial for you to be surrounded by a happy environment every day. I don't know what your original family situation was like, but I'm sure you can find ways to create a happy environment for yourself.

The sadness, fear, and anxiety you are experiencing today may be the result of the environment you were in as a child. It might be helpful to relax and calm yourself, think about what is really on your mind, and identify what you are unhappy about or what you are unhappy with someone about. Taking your time to come to terms with it and make peace with it could be beneficial.

The process is not inherently difficult, but it can be challenging to discern whether you are willing to embrace your emotions and inner inadequacies. If you are currently experiencing a sense of overwhelming sadness, it might be helpful to find a quiet space where you can allow yourself to express your emotions in a healthy manner.

After expressing your emotions, it might be helpful to find a parent who shares similar characteristics, such as a father or mother. They can provide a sense of security and love. It's understandable that not everyone is comfortable expressing their love openly.

As an outstanding person, you may wish to consider giving yourself and your parents the opportunity to communicate. You may want to live a certain way and could benefit from their support and cooperation. It is also my hope that this approach will help you find your own love and sense of security.

I want to reassure you that your situation is not a major problem. It's important not to worry about the severity of your feelings. I recognise that worrying about yourself, others, or a certain matter can drain your yang energy and make you feel more afraid and lonely.

I send you my blessings from afar, and I truly believe that you will have many opportunities to live, learn, and love yourself while also loving others.

Hello, question owner! Reading your words is like meeting someone in person. I can feel your inner pain and helplessness, and I'm here to help! I'll describe my point of view, and I'm sure my next answer will be helpful and inspiring to you.

You mentioned that you have been self-harming for more than a year. That's a long time! It seems like you've been suppressing a lot of emotions inside that you can't vent, and you've been attacking yourself instead, leaving you bruised and battered. You must be in a lot of pain. But you're here now, and you're going to get through this! Hugs to you!

You can absolutely make a change in your current situation! Try going to the listening room on the psychological platform to talk to others on the phone, let the other person help you release your emotions, or find a listener to listen to you. You'll feel better in no time!

If these methods don't work, don't worry! You can always find a professional counselor to talk to. These consultations don't have to be expensive. You can also try to explain to your parents what's going on. Let them know that this situation isn't good for you.

You can also try seeking help from social organizations around you, such as the school's psychological counseling teacher or community social work organizations. These social workers or teachers can help you persuade your parents to see things your way!

In your current situation, your subconscious mind may feel that your parents will feel very sorry for your younger brother and ignore your feelings, making you feel uncared for or unimportant. But don't worry! As you have mentioned, your parents will overvalue the money and ignore your inner pain. And guess what? If you put aside everything, parents essentially love their children. They just have different ways of expressing their emotions and communicating, which can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. But you can work through these challenges together!

Absolutely! You can actually try to selectively ignore some of the neglect they bring to you. In fact, if you put aside the fact that parents will scold you and say how you are doing, but their actions show that they really care about you, and they will take care of your food, clothing and shelter, but there is a certain degree of neglect in the emotional aspect, you can actually try to selectively ignore some of the neglect they bring to you.

For example, record the good things he has done for you! Then, tell him how much you appreciate him. At the same time, you should try to release your emotions in appropriate ways, such as developing a hobby, playing sports, painting, running, and a series of other behaviors that can calm your emotions.

Wishing you the very best!

The world and I love you!
