I feel really upset lately but I don't know if I would call it depressed. Because just at school I'm more happy and will laugh but at home I get mad and cry and everything. It just isn't me though. I am usually happy but just not at home anymore. I have cut myself and I have cried every single day but only at home. Except a couple times at school but thats it. Maybe its because I keep my feelings bottled up? But I never feel comfortable telling anyone my feelings. When I do it just makes me feel worse so I never tell anyone anything. I don't know what to do. I only write in my diary. But please help me, thanks. Oh by the way I don't cut myself anymore I have stopped that because I think about it and it makes me feel worse so thanks so much thanks.

anyways, the most important thing to do is talk to an adult who can get you the help you need. it may be hard to do at first, but it is so worth it in the end -- trust me. the sooner you get to someone, the less likely it is to get worse and the last thing you want is to get worse. all that you need to do is tell someone and the rest will work itself out.

sweetie, there's all sorts of depression. but what you suggested sounds likely too, though. just tell your mom or dad that you need to see a psychologist/doctor and they will prescribe a medication for you to take depending if its needed.
