Hey. Im mariah. Im 16 years old and to be honest i dont like labeling myself. Such as i am diagnoised with depression, anxiety, bipolar, dyslexia, adhd, and a body disorder. I mean i am diagnoised with that but thats not ME. its only apart of me. this is me--> i am a respectful girl who works at a dinner. I dont have the perfect life but who does? I love the color green and i enjoy reading. My passion is dance and writing anything from stories to poems. And my dream is to become a school counsular so i can help younger kids just like my counsulars helped me (:

Hello everyone,

My name is Agnes. I've been feeling depressed ever since I was 13 years old. I am 20 years old now. And I am trying to figure out how to make myself happy during the many days of my loneliness and depression.

I can't do it alone. And I'm afraid that because of the way I am, people will distance themselves from me. I feel like I am ruining everything around me.

I don't have many friends, and the ones I do have sometimes have their own problems to worry about and aren't usually there when I need them the most.

I just want to be happy.

Hi I'm Ted been depressed since I was 12, 48 now so it has been a long painful road that I would like to get off of.
