Last year in school, my friends made it a joke to say that I was depressed or had depression. At the time I was mostly fine, not diagnosed not suicidal, none of that, but it made me feel so bad about myself because what was I doing that made me seem depressed? Over the past 6 months I’ve been slipping in and out of depressive episodes, debating suicide, and even writing letters in case I do let go. I feel like I can’t tell my friends who said those things about me, because they’ll boil it down to me being over dramatic. I just can’t stop thinking about how I would walk into class and people would call out “there’s the depressed one” or “hey are you feeling sad today because you look depressed” I don’t know who to ask for help, or who to go to, since my parents already have enough on their plate without me telling them anything. The only real reason I’m still here is because I’m vainly holding out hope that it will get better soon, but also the fact that I know a funeral will just destroy my parents savings. I don’t think anyone would miss me. They’ll probably just think “oh that quiet girl died? That’s predictable” and go on with their lives

It does get better in time, don't give up. Even if you don't think so, you have touched more lives than you know and you will continue to as well.
LIVE! Make your future what you want it to be.
I'll be cheering for you!
ReplyTry smiling around your friends more then they should stop saying you are depressed. When someone else comes along that they can pick on they will leave you alone. Some churches have a counselor you can see for free so try the churches in your area. If you are still at school talk to the counselor and nurse there.
