lately i've been so confused and alone. i've tried everything, and i've even started to think that i'm depressed, but i can't think of a way to talk to my parents or friends about it because i've been known to be the "good" one who's life doesn't suck and that my life is the best. But no one knows how hard it is, to keep up an image, to always be happy and care. it's difficult, there are times i wish that i came from a family that had more difficutlies... because since my life has been decient with no big issues, whenever some small argument starts up i get hurt so bad and i know that it's such a little thing but my body gets all worked up about it. i don't know what to do about it, i can't tell my parents because they expect me to be everything and a bag of chips plus they'd be ubber dissapointed. i'm so lost and confused and i don't know who to talk to. What could i do?

Its common. I went through a stage where I wouldn't talk to no one.
If you can't talk to your family, talk to a close friend.
Let it all out.
You will probably scream, cry, and laugh. It is good to let it all out! It's probably the best thing to do!

If you need to talk to someone... talk to a friend you just met who doesnt know about you well. I always do that. I feel like they are less likely to judge and that even if they do judge me i wont be as hurt as it by what a close friend felt about what i had to say. Close friends are always willing to listen to. Brothers and sisters as well.
Try journaling! I love my diary. If i have a secret thats bothering me but i'd never tell, i tell my journal. It doesnt talk back yet i feel like all my problems are solved... Or try turning it into a skit or a song if your an artistic person. Draw it or express it somehow. [ emilyXdeathface's advice column | Ask emilyXdeathface A Question ]
