I'm a 14 year old female with depression and anxiety. I'm a freshman in high school, but I'm homeschooled due to the mental illnesses. Well, I have NO friends. The only interaction I really have is with my family. I probably only go outside once or twice a week. All I really do is play video games, read, surf the internet, do my schoolwork, or other little activities. I love going outside as long as it isn't hot, but I'm just too depressed and anxious. Is there something wrong with me? I go to a therapist every week. I just feel like I'm worthless and not going anywhere since I stay in my room 23 hours of the day, on the internet for like half of that time. I just feel worthless. It's not like I'm a lazy bum who doesn't do anything with their life, I just am majorly depressed and scared to leave my house. I'm still in school and learn a lot though. (link)
There's nothing wrong with you, I was exactly like that at age 12, even younger. Keep up the therapy, and maybe try some meds for the depression and anxiety? There are also natural ones and solutions. (i.e for depression, there's a pill called St. John's Wort that's all natural that I take. i.e for anxiety, putting a book or a few on your chest helps, and calming tea and stuff) just try taking it one step at a time. Like set a schedule for yourself, like go to the movies alone one day, and two days later just hang out outside, two days later go out to eat with your family or something. There's also activities you can do to get friends, like sports and different things like painting classes and stuff, but that's only for when you're ready. If you ever want to talk, I'll be your friend and be here for you(:
Hope this helps~
