-Depressed

dear depressed,

please don't bottle up all of your feelings. it only makes it worse. and the thing is, you can cry if you want you. crying is good. it's ok to feel and be emotinal. you also have to talk to your brother. you have to tell him how you feel. or you have to tell your parents, a grandparent, a teacher at school, a friend, ANYBODY. you just need to vent and let these feelings out. don't feel like you can't tell anyone. because you can. you can tell anyone you want. try journaling to let it all out. or, you may even want to consider getting a counselor. they really can help with depression and help you work out your feelings in a healthy way.
ok, another thing. please don't hurt yourself. trust me, it's really not worth it. something like snapping rubber bands can lead to using erasers and then eventually cutting, which can get so bad so please don't ever ever do it. if you ever need any advice or anyone to talk to i will be here. i know how much depression hurts, but it can never get better unless you talk about it.

i hope everything works out =]
