I am diagnosed with A.D.D meaning Attention Deficit Discorder meaning I have a hard time focusing especially on something I'm not interested in. I'm in 8th grade, and every grade before that I was always in the situation of trying to catch with the other students and that unsurprisingly lead me to depression. It all started when the 7th grade science teacher told me I had to write a letter a get it signed by my parents, because I had a low grade. And that shattered me, in that moment I felt like was a disappointment, a mistake, that I should've never been born. I'm also a introvert I don't like going outside, and my parents are always complaining that I don't talk to them enough, but I do it's just whenever I try to there just too tired for me or they just ignore me. What's worse is my younger sister is getting all A's and B's and I just stand there and think I'm even more useless.
I just feel alone and I just need at least someone to listen to me about this because nobody else will. I'm also new to this and I would really appreciate for anyone out there to have the time to listen to some random person on the internet. But thank you.
