As for school, yes it can be like a mini stress factory..the school work, the friendship issues, and on top of all that, your parents' divorce (and all that must have happened to lead to that). I'm glad you are posting here to vent your emotions, and that you will be discussing things with your doctor. That sounds like a good plan. It's hard to control what is going on all around us but you can control how you treat yourself so I hope that you will try to hang on to the fact that you are a good person, try to eat well and get lots of sleep. and do keep posting if you need to. Wishing you well.
Thank you Terry. Well I've tried once before and when I told him that I had depression he simply brushed it away, saying that I overreacted and so ever since this moment, I've simply felt scared to tell him how I feel and tell him again. Yeah school seems to be the root for the majority of my feelings, yeah I have realised that "letting myself go" so to say has helped a little bit to help control my feelings. Although Friday evening I was non stop crying for about 3 hours, having a breakdown for no reason whatsoever. I will certainly try to keep eating & sleeping normally - although recently that has been a major struggle of mine.

I join TerryL in supporting your plan to speak with your doctor. Please keep posting.
Thank you Rohag. I know, this was at a point where I ad actually told a few close friends that I was in fact suffering with depression, which made the whole occasion 10 times worse. Well I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow so I hope that it goes well, although I think it'll be very emotional. I certainly will keep posting as I feel it helps knowing that people care & just letting people know how I really feel.
