...See more Hi, im new to this site and doing this all off my laptop in fear of my parents going through my phone and saying something about this. As someone who hasnt officially been diagnosed with depression, it is very hard to express to those around me how im feeling. Alot of the time its 'Stop being grumpy' and not asking how i am. Some dont even believe me when i tell them that i think i have it. Over there past few months its gotten harder and harder,possibly due to my home life being stressful. I was supposed to make an apointment that i was recomended to do but I havent been able to call up the doctors because of the difficulties at home and the fear that they are going to tellme the same thing as before. The last time i went to the doctors they told me to look at some website that they said would help with my lowmood and it wasnt severe. I dont want togo back but it has gotten worse from my perspective. Sometimes i struggle with getting out of bed, making myself eat and even being bothered to do the neccisary things i need to do like go toschool or work. Its mentally draining. Two of my friends have been diagnosed with clinical depression. My parents seem tothink that their behavior has impacted me to react this way. Im not entirly sure its depression i have, possibly bipolar dissorder. I have my up and down moments but its mostly down. I'm not really sure what to do at this point because the person i have been speaking to has advised me to go to the dctors but for another type of councilling 'Family issues'. It may be the cause ofthis but i dont think it will help me completly because its only focusing on the one aspect that is bringing me down. Im not sure what to do and whether i should actually go to the doctors about itif there is a chance there isnt going to be a way for me to sort this out. I also have mild social anxiety which may be one of the contrebuting factors. I just need to know if someone can give me some advice on this because i dont want to live this way anymore. :)
