I Battle Depression

I FEEL UGLY

I’m a 15 year old female. In half of my lifetime I have suffered from depression, I thought I finally escaped it- but I didn’t. I don’t want to open up to my family about this, but I do want someone to talk to. I feel like no one understands what I go through mentally.
I never wanted to commit suicide, I have thought about running away, (on several occasions) to get away from this life. I put on a fake smile everyday, because I know my mom works hard for this life she has provided my family with. I want her to see I’m happy, even though I’m not.
Though I am very grateful. I feel myself giving up everyday. I don’t want to feel like this- I hate feeling like this. Being happy is my number one goal in life, It just seems impossible to reach at times....any advice?

You sound like a very considerate daughter and gentle soul. Thanks for being brave and expressing yourself here! It’s a great start to improvement . Just give it time, have someone to talk to , make friends, even online ones, just be careful with people around here. Trust you instincts, and be wise. Everything’s gonna be alright, I promise!
