I am so sorry that you are feeling so rotten right now. Depression is totally not dependent on your life circumstances. It is based in brain chemicals that have gotten slightly off. Blaming yourself for that is kind of like blaming yourself for a broken leg or a heart condition.

What kinds of things are you trying to do to help yourself? @Sebastian0o0

Well, that is a version of helping yourself so that is actually a good start. How are you doing on eating well and drinking water, etc.? Just doing those basics can really help because without them your brain doesn't have the energy to fight. @Sebastian0o0

@Sebastian0o0 I understand how you feel, I myself too wonder as a teen, believe me it's hard, I don't know if I have it, all we can do is think of the good and treasure it.
