I Battle Self-hatred, Anxiety, And Depression

Although it hasnt been proven by anyone, I know im depressed.My mood changes easily, i always feel alone, and I hate almost everything about myself. no one in my life has seemed to notice that I feel like this,and I want to tell someone,I want help, but I cant find the courage to tell them. I dont know what to do anymore, it has changed how I act so much in the past year or two. I hope someone can save me...but, mabye none of that matters anymore.

it's very common for teens to be depressed! it's a stage most people go through in life and you can pull through it by putting in hard work and keeping yourself busy. just remember that depression is a symptom. being depressed does not mean you have clinical depression, major depressive disorder, manic depression, etc. so don't ever let anyone tell you you're not really depressed because a doctor hasn't told you so. you can easily look at a PDF of the DSM-5 online and see for yourself the definition of depression. chances are you fit it to the letter. so even if someone doesn't believe you, be strong and take steps to help yourself. i'm always here if you want to talk, i've been depressed for eight years and counting and i understand what you're going through.

Yes i belive in the keep yourself bussy part, i fight depression because of kids at my school and my neighbors, but i love to draw and watch t.v and ect. So it helps to get into hobbies and keeps your mind away from sad things in your life
