I have a small form of depression. And it's driving me crazy. Nobody sees it. They always assume different. I only have ONE friend of mine who knows about this. Her name is Haley(Not her real name.) And she just gets me. I told her not to tell anyone because I'm afraid that my friends are just gonna leave me. And especially with the fact that I have extreme amounts of anxiety attacks, this tends to make my life really hard. My sister, my parents, and everybody else who knows me just doesn't know about this, but I'm to afraid to tell them. I've had therapy before, and everybody thought I was okay. I really want to go back, but I don't want to at the same time. People might make fun of me for going to therapy, but at the same time, it would be good for me. I feel like I should go. Now with the fact that my friends know a couple secrets of mine, I really think it would help. But I also don't have time for it.

Sometimes, it just feels right to just want to die in my mind, even though it's not. I really think I need help. You should talk to your parents. Or if you don't feel comfortable, find a way to talk to your school councillor about it. But you should really tell your family. And if your friends make fun of you for going to therapy-- and this is going to sound like a peice of adult advice that doesn't work-- but then they aren't good friends. When I first started therapy, and told my friends about my depression, there were two of them that weren't the most supportive, and I just had to let them go, and stop stressing over them.

You should go. If feel you need it, and it would be good for you, then do it. And if anyone thinks you don't need it, ignore them, because they don't know anything about how you are feeling.
