I feel really depressed all of the time. I dont want to turn up to school, my teachers have started to notice something is off with me, and my friends have too even though i try my best to put on a fake smile and cover up the pain im feeling inside. I haven’t told anyone because i feel like they dont get it, but i want to get help, only thing is, my parents are clueless to the fact i am depressed, and i know its going to upset them if i tell them. I want to tell them, because i want to start on antidepressants because of how i feel, no one i know feels the same as me so im scared to ask my friends for advice as to how i should tell them, so im lonely and talk to no one about it. I want to tell them because in the uk (where i live) as far as i know, i need a parent to book my medical appointments for me because im only 14, and not 18 yet... i dont know how to say it because its going to come as a shock to them, i have tried to bring up the conversation before and then try to tell them but they just tell me ‘its just your age’ and ‘its your hormones you’ll be fine’ and i never know where to start, i feel really stuck and helpless and dont know what to do or where to go...
