I'm so sorry you're going through this. I know it's such a scary part of life that's unavoidable, but trust me when I say that you're not alone. You'll get through this, hopefully with lots of people that love you by your side. All of the people that commented? They care; we all do. I agree with everyone when they say to go see/talk to someone, but I know that that's not easy. One of the most common coping mechanisms is to go talk to someone, since it'll make everything better, but I fall into the opposite category, and by the looks of it, I think you do too. Whenever I'm experiencing any of those feelings, I shut people out. I feel like no one'll care, and if they do, they'll care too much, if you know what I mean. It's so difficult to rely on people, which is why I have to put on a fake smile in public, and believe me when I say you don't want to take that route. One part of me wants to act natural, while the other part is tearing me apart, which makes me want to scream when no one's around. It's so, so hard, but some day, it'll get better. Stop  listening to those 'what-ifs' in your head, because they're wrong. No one's burdened by you; we all love you, whether you think so or not. You will get through this, and I know I've said this quite a few times, but it's true, and you have to  know that. Depression is such a hard topic, I know the reluctance to go to adults, but I also know that it's necessary (even though I don't abide by that, sadly). PTSD is even worse; don't wait, you'll regret it in the long run. Know that you have people here, and even though we're all anonymous, we're here for you nonetheless. We know what you're going through. I guess the best advice that I could give you is try to treasure the triumphant moments in your life, and go tell someone you truly trust. You'll feel better. Hoping the best for you,
