I think I have depression and I'm not sure who the right person is to talk about it with. It's not healthy to keep your feelings bottled up inside and that's what I've been doing almost all of my life. I think it's about time to get some weight off of my shoulders and get some advice, and insight from people I know.
I'm very selective about who I talk to. I try to avoid telling personal stuff to my family because they would tell everyone around them. (They're like that.) I wouldn't feel comfortable telling my feelings to close friends because they would always bring it up in conversation or be a little too worried about me (because I've had thoughts of suicide). I've tried a website called "anybodyoutthere.com" and the only people who felt the need to talk were boys trying to get my MSN which saddened me to a further extent because at this point it seems that no one cares. I don't have a counselor at my school and I don't think I'm old enough to schedule any type of appointment without permission. (I'm 13 and my parents told me that I wasn't to see anybody and tough it out on my own.)
So I feel as if I've run completely out of options and I just don't know what to do. Please help.
Oh yeah, and I tried journaling... it doesn't work for me because paper can't give me feedback.
