Hello emau, having these feelings are certainly not fake and realise when you are trying to talk to someone, whether they will believe what you're saying or dismiss it only because they're not interested and if this happens then we have to find aperson who understands exactly what you are saying, and don't worry because many of us have been through this ourselves.
Even my father who was a GP, thought I was pretending to be depressed until another brother spoke with him, then he was concerned.
When you are able to you need to write down in point form what is troubling you, this is so important and it doesn't matter one bit if you feel better and want to dismiss this document, because you can't compare these two different feelings, each one has their own place, especially when you aren't feeling the best, and never throw this document away, only when you have been able to overcome this problem.
Sometimes don't want to believe what you say, because they don't want to believe that one of their kids is suffering from a MI, as they take this as a reflection of their upbringing.
Remember there is so much hidden within your thoughts that at the moment only you know about.
Sophie has given you the link to Kids Helpline so please use this for extra help, but can you please keep incontact with us.
It doesn't matter whether you start crying, because if you have this document then that's exactly how you are feeling.
Good luck.
