Hi LittleMiss, welcome to PC. I know what you are going through. I too have been fighting depression since childhood. I have had many years when I thought I had gotten rid of it only to have it sneak back into my life. I've found that there are many things that can trigger it - poor diet, lack of restful sleep, stress (at school or home), maybe even trouble adjusting to a new environment.

I think people don't listen because they don't understand depression and they don't take it as seriously as they would a physical illness. Maybe you could try counselling again and/or involvement in an interesting team activity at school to help ease this bout you're going through. Just don't give up, okay? And don't accept your current state of loneliness. Think of it as a phase you're passing through that has an end. I wish you all the best and that you'll get help when and where you need it. Sending hugs from the Caribbean
