I've been in your shoes...everyone expects you to be like everyone else, no matter what you're experiencing. Well, if you ask me, those people need to wake up to reality and accept that you are an individual and have the right to act like yourself and not like someone else!

I think it is perfectly fine to be depressed. I know I am. And I was diagnosed with depression when I was 12. So don't go by what other people want from you. You only need to please yourself!

Take care.
