Hey. Well, I get these random "spells" as I call them, of depression. I don't know if I'm bipolar. And like, I have a pretty good life. Not perfect, obviously, but not as bad as other people's. I don't know what's wrong with me. Also, I have little to no self-esteem, if that helps at all. Help!! And thanks in advance :].
P.S. 13/f, Idk if that will help anybody.

Darling, You're thirteen. Your hormones are having a fiesta in your brain. Its normal. For me it helped to talk to a friend when I wasn't quite feeling on top of the world. Not about whats bothering you, just about whatever
Friends typically have a postive impact on your brain. They can make you laugh. Laughing releases endorphins (happy signals in your brain). Endorphins not only make you happy, they're good for you too. They releave stress, which in turn lessens the amount of acne, headaches, growing pains, and things similar. They also help your metabolism. so the more you're around your friends, the skinnier you'll stay which means you will feel better about yourself.
