i don't know anything anymore. i'm a mess, i can't tell anyone and i just don't know. i'm alone and i'm really scared. some people in class today were talking about how 3 in every 10 teenage girls are depressed, and i was just thinking ME all the time. i'm not the sort of person who people would expect to be depressed. everyone around me jokes about it all the time and i just can't deal with it anymore. i looked in the mirror, thinking about what they were saying. it's me. i am one of the depressed ones. no body knows me, they don't know what i've been through, they don't know the real me. i'm scared all the time, of myself, and of fantisies, like monsters and ghosts and things llike that. i have been since i was little. but now i realize. the fantasys are all in my mind, and every single one of them is based on someone who has hurt me. everything that scares me has always been in my head and now i know the monster is in my head i'm not scared anymore. because my mind is my own and it's me thats scaring myself. it's always been me. but how do i fix myself if i don't know who i am?

If you feel that you are depressed, talk to your parents and let them know how you feel and what you are going through so they can get you some professional help.

Yes, you should definitely talk to a counselor about how you’re feeling.

like those before me have said- talk to someone. a counselor and parents, some form of adult you can trust and can make good decisions. I was a depressed teenage girl and I know how hard it can be at that age. let me tell you now- it will be best for you to go ahead and start getting help now. best of luck and big hugs to you.

Hello, I have struggled with depression all of my life. Depression is an illness many of us cant help, if you are young you should seek help. Im 35 and i have been depressed since i was 15 years old, i didnt tell my parents but i should have. My life has been a Rollercoaster with alot of guys dumping me, losd of friends, jobs etc. Are you on meds? We are capable of defeating this, know that. Seek a counselor or therapist who not only just listens but gives feedback. I dont know who i am either, i usually ask my mom or my friends who they see me as, it helps. You are not alone, fight, and im here to listen

Hugs... do you have any school counsellor?? Can you approach your teacher or sch administrator to enquire about it? Please do not think that you have to or need to go through this alone. You don’t have to go through this alone. There is help and there is hope. It’s not a lonely journey. We are here to support you too if you need to unload or just chat. Praying for you ! God bless.

    It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
