I know you see these posts all the time,
I've searched around for an answer and I've already read symptoms of depression and all that.
It's just that I really don't know if I actually am depressed.
I'll tell you some more now.
I'm fourteen years old,
By the way.
I went to London on a school trip,
I feinted there and ever since that I felt guilty for some reason.
That was almost a month ago, and since then I just never feel like doing anything,
I feel alone constantly, I don't know who my friends are anymore and I can see that it annoys people that I'm upset.
Not many people would be able to tell because I felt like I was doing something wrong by feeling so down,
So I hid it, covered it up.
It's getting worse though, for example today I slept for 14 hours, I kept on stopping what I was doing and just staring into the wall.
I don't understand why I feel so down because by right I shouldn't.
It's all I can do to keep it hidden, and to stop myself from crying.
Every piece of criticism I receive is taken straight to heart,
And it makes me feel like an utter idiot.
I'm scared, because I have no one to talk to about this,
I've tried believe me, everyone just shrugged it off.
Everyone always says 'Oh, you'll grow out of it' or 'You're just being hormonal',
But none of my friends seem to be like this.
I feel alone, and I feel awful, guilty, tired, overly shy, paranoid and estranged.
I don't know, I'd just like to know if I should see someone about it.
I'm scared to though.
I went on a bit then, sorry.
I'll be grateful if you could help though.
