So I have never done this before but here we go. I have depression and maybe anxiety?all my friends are saying I do but when I finally got up the courage to ask my mum she said it’s normal . Could some of you help me out? Some things that happen that make my friends think I do is sometimes I just get really panicky and scared and it is mostly caused by public speaking or being put in front of large groups of people like presenting a class project or something. And I start shaking and I feel like I can’t breath and it’s hard to catch my breath. Also I get this weird feeling like you know when there’s a bug crawling on you and you kind of freak out? It’s just like that, but in the inside. And another things is when people touch me or come really close to me I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT. It feels like when there is a big bug that lands on you and you can see it but it’s not moving, that kind of weird awful feeling. Another big thing is that I have been cutting since the beginning of sixth grade and I’m half way through eighth rn. I have been trying really hard to stop but it has been really hard. And I can’t tell my parents because they are one of the big reasons why I do it. And since I’m only 14 I can’t get help. I feel kind of hopeless and no one knows except you guys who have read this, so thanks you and sorry for taking up your time with my ramblings.
