How do i tell my parents i am depressed?

Q. Since i was about 12, I've been really sad and lonely. Every little thing would make me upset and i would hold it in and then go to a washroom and cry. And i just always feel so sad. I am 15 now and it has gotten worse. I binge eat sometimes but since i am only around 100 pounds, it isnt apparent to anyone but myself who can see that i am gaining weight. i eat when i am sad and the sadder i am, the more i eat. I also get extremely angry too. It takes an effort to stop myself from smashing things.

I really want to tell my parents because it is getting out of hand i dont want to go on like this. How do i tell them or hint to them i am depressed?

A. Tell your parents you are depressed

A. It is great that you want to get help. You could talk to your school counselor, you could also write your parents a letter and tell them that you need help. Sometimes a letter can be a good way to get things across because it makes it less scary.

How can I stop eating at night?
Q. I eat so well during then and then at night I start getting cravings and if I'm upset about something I'll binge eat. Pleaseee help!

A. Eat 5 or 6 times a day (to reduce you getting hungry)....don't keep any junk food in the house so if you go grazing in the evening, your options will be fruit and veggies...if you get hungry in the evening, drink a tall glass of water FIRST, and then if you still feel hungry, have a small snack or you can take a walk to do something physical to distract you until the hunger goes away...

It takes will power and self control...
