I know i'm depressed, but I can't tell my family because they either won't give a crap or they'll say 'it's okay, you're just over reacting.'
I have to hide everything from them, and that might make them think i'm drinking or doing drugs or something else, which i'm not. I'm so numb I can't even feel anymore. I have friends, but only 'at school' friends. When it comes to the rest of life i'm high and dry, on my own, only my spirit guides to talk to (and, no i'm not schitzofrenic), and it's more like they ask me questions and tell me to think about where i'm going, or what i should do. They don't tell me to set things on fire or stuff like that. They're just there for me, and they're the only people/things that ever are.
Point being, i dunno what to do; should I try and talk to a friend or something? I don't want to suddenly break down in front of them, because it'll make me seem.. Kinda.. I don't know. Or should I talk to a doctor? but not my family one, because she'd tell my family and they'd get angry or something..

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I have to go, my dad's home and I don't want him to find me here.
I can't get to her office on my own.
And I don't really have any really close friends. The one close one that I have, I don't want to tell her because i'm afraid she'll just reject me or something.
