I’ve only been depressed this year. Â Extreme anxiety, a possible eating disorder. Everything at home is always fine, I watched the rest of my family enjoy Christmas dinner, while i was counting my calories and limiting food intake. It’s the bullying. I tried so hard to be happy, to enjoy Christmas. I LOVE Christmas. This year, I sit at the table with my head down. It’s honestly sad looking to me, Â I picture myself today and all I see is this girl looking depressed, ghostly pale skin, tired.
I would’ve never thought I’d ever been depressed. I’m different. What used to be a lively outgoing young girl, is now this sickly looking depressed older looking teenager.
Yet I continue, to suffer.
Because I know suicide, isn’t an option.
I’m too strong for that. I will eventually get better, and I know this, I WILL SURVIVE THIS DEPRESSION.

Hey,
A really nice positive post. You actually show a lot of self awareness for your age. That’s really encouraging to see.
Like i said to someone else, life isn’t about how easy or smooth a ride you get, rather it is how you overcome the challnges that get thrown at us.
That said, depression is like any other medical condition eg a cold, who feels good when they get it? I don’t! lol…so learn to relax, let it ride and don’t worry too much.
If you have good friends, then just go hang out and do something. “Physical activity” is the bodies natural ability to overcome negative feelings. Go for nice walks into the city or friends houses and just focus your efforts ‘more’ on how others are feeling vs how you are feeling.
It’s an old trick where you focus on others vs yourself, and often u go away feeling better because u helped someone else…
Stay positive over the holiday period.
