Constantly sad...

Hi

I haven't been diagnosed with depression or any mental disorder, my parents have never considered seeing a therapist or anyone for mental health, so no one knows I haven't been feeling too good mentally. I'm not sure what's wrong, but during the day at school, I'm completely fine and happy, though when I arrive home I never feel happy. It seems like I feel sad when alone, but I can't be surrounded by people for too long or I'll feel sad and out of control. I've felt like this for a while, but I have no one to talk to because it is either awkward or I don't want to feel like a burden. Someone help me please, I've been crying myself to sleep nearly every night. Seeing a therapist or talking to someone about this in real life isn't an option. I don't want people to think I'm trying to seem 'cool' because at my age, many people tend to say they have depression or whatever to seem cool, and I might be over-thinking it, but I really need advice

Thanks

Hi Melmie,

it's good that you're having good days and that you recognise them, don't take them for granted and focus on the good.

have you talked to anyone?
