Why are people not understanding
I got tierd of hiding my depression from everyone. My family and other outsiders some of my friends didint even know about till grade 7. In grade 8 I acted out, I showed my emotions my feelings, although it wasn't in the right way people started saying that I am an attention seeker that people with depression don't tell everyone. They saw and heard my scream for help, my pain my battle and called it attention seeking hit it to my face like 20 times a day. Now I'm in 9th grade I just don't want to relive and go through what I did in grade 8. Anybody else relate??
@dl4l
I can relate! I was told that I was seeking attention when my parents learned I was self harming. What helped me get through eighth grade (I agree it was awful, I hated it) was drawing on myself. It was tactile and helped me cope after panic attacks. I don't know if it'll help you, but it worked for me. Depression is the worst, so is school. Hopefully we can both make it out on the other side. We have to belive that it will get better. Eventually.
