You're still a teenager, and I'm NOT trying to minimize ANYTHING but being a teenager is VERY DIFFICULT. Everything is changing. Not only your life, but you're pressured to make changes, your body is changing, your life is changing, your parents are askiing you all the time "what do you want to do with your life" when you haven't had TIME to think about that. Everyone is pressuring you! You feel like you're going crazy! If people would just leave you alone -- right? Is that the way it feels?
I know that's the way it felt for me.

Are you going to college? Are you IN college? Do you get enough sleep? Are you having trouble sleeping? What are some of your other "symptms?" Are you depressed? Do you have extremely HAPPY moments at times and then CRASH to depression?

IF any of this sounds familiar, you need to see a therapist. If you can get your Mom to send you to a good therapist, it would be great, cause it sure sounds like you need to talk to one. Even if some of the symptoms I mentioned DON'T sound familiar, I still think you need to talk to one. Ask your Mom -- and let us know how you do, ok? We do care. Hugs, Lee
