Depression and Anxiety Symptoms:
What if I Just Wanna Talk?

by Lily

I've been feeling unwanted, under foot, and just plain ignored. I just don't get it I try and try but I'm just not good enough as myself and I don't want to change...I have been feeling depressed more in the sense there is no reason for me to get out of bed in the morning, no one would notice. Is there any sites I could go to to just talk? feel maybe a little noticed? wanted even? That my little creative points are interesting not childish and useless. I just want someone, anyone to share with. My friends don't understand they call it embarrassing and stuff little kids would do, I'm 15. Do you know any sites, chat lines, ANYTHING?

Lily,

I am so sorry that you are feeling invisible. It does sound like you need some TLC. There are several depression hotlines that you can reach out to. I think that would be a good place to start. If you scan that page you'll find there are several hotlines specifically for youth and teens that you can call.

The people who answer those lines are professionals and can be very supportive. They can also help you find support in your local area as well.

Wishing you the best,

Dana
