depressed
I've had depression since about 8th grade..i'm a senior now. I know its gotten a lot worse. I used to never wear makeup and stuff but now when i look in the mirror i hate hate hate how i look and try to use makeup to fix it. i never look in the mirror and it completely ruins my day if i see how i look cause i think i look like shit all the time. i hate taking pictures cause i look retarted in every picture. my best friends are soo pretty and i feel like crap compared to them. i used to have my blinds open all the time cause i loved having the sunlight come into my room..but now they are ALWAYS closed. i hate seeing my face in the sunlight i can't even explain. i probably sound really emo..but i promise you i'm not. i have a lot of friends and i'm always happy with them but by myself i'm so depressed. will meds for depression help this at all cause i just want to be comfortable with how i look like i did in middle school

i suffered from depression myself, mine was slightly different i ahd post natal depression and now after 7 years im finally ok.. it may not seem like their is no light at the end of the tunnel but believe me their is. If you are feeling like this i would talk to your mum or a close friend.. it may also be wise to consult a doctor, conciling or antidepresents could be options for you.. im not saying antidepresents are the way to go btu talking to someone who can understand you may help.

Honestly you shouldnot compare yourself to everyone else like your friends, b/c you are different then them and you will never be them. But don't worry about how you look, we all have something we do not like about ourselves. Don't be afriad to let the sunshine in, alot of your depression may be caused by your sleeping habits and eating habits.
The reason I say that is b/c when I'm tired I'm in a bad mood and always feel like crap, the same with when I eat junk food. But if you eat healthy and get a good night sleep, I promise the next day will make you feel better. If looking in a mirror ruins you day, then don't look, but don't let the mirror define who you are. ITs not worth it. Its okay to wear make up, I do, b/c I look like crap with out, But I don't wear a ton of makeup, I just accentarate my feature, I bring out my skin tones and eye color. That way it looks natural and i feel comfortable.
The key to not being depressed, is by being comfortable in your own skin, and you do that by looking at your good qualtites rather than focusing on the bad ones.
I hope that at least made some sense. :) Good luck with everything and don't be so hard on yourself, its not necessary. I promise, you are beautiful, you just need to believe it. :)
