Time traveler here, if you are going through a tough time especially in this time, it is really important that you get help! There are always people that will be there for you even if you don’t see them. It won’t hurt you if you do get help. People won’t judge you if you get help, chances are they are going through something similar right now. Every life is a precious one, so don’t let it yours go to waste!

"Depression isn't a choice", I hope more people understand this

[tiredpeaches]

I’m diagnosed with depression and anxiety, it runs in my family. I get overwhelmed over a lot of things that most people would just brush off and get done and not worry about (ie: talking to adults, asking for help, cleaning my room, taking care of myself, noises hurt me, being in a bad mood all day) most people think I’m just being over dramatic or doing it on purpose. I don’t mean to be like this and I’m trying to get better, it’s just not something that can just poof out of my life. It’ll always be there. I just need to learn how to manage things...

Stay safe and happy holidays everyone

Uhm, I just want to share my story here

At first I thought I was just sad but I watch Psych2Go video and it maybe depression because the dark cloud is in my head for a weak, but suddenly I feel fine and happy and I guess I'm okay? But it's only for 4/5 days and suddenly I feel down again and then happy? And sad and now happy again but mostly sad :/
I watch other Psych2Go video about bipolar and I maybe bipolar? But I'm not sure
I'm still 14 and I'm really really scared to tell my parents, maybe it's because I have bad memories with them in my childhood..

It's been 2/3 month and i don't know what else to do-
