I was told by someone I know who is a therapist that she could see signs of depression in me. She really thinks I could be depressed and she talked to me about going to the counseling center at the school that I go to. I don't know if she's right or not, I've never had anyone tell me that I was depressed before, but when I was in middle school, I'm almost positive that I might have been a little bit depressed because I remember feeling really sad and that didn't go away for a long time. Anyway, I'm not really sure whether I'm depressed right now, but I suppose it's possible that I am a little bit because I feel sad sometimes and cry. Like the way that I feel sometimes, it makes sense that I'm a little depressed.

I didn't want to go to the counseling center at first, but I did eventually go. The counselor that I saw there said that I'm not depressed because if I was, I wouldn't be able to function (go to school, etc.), which I do. She went through the DSM manual and saw that I don't fit the criteria of a diagnosis of depression, so I'm not depressed. I'm not really sure what to think now because I don't want to be depressed, but I thought maybe a was a little, but now I know I'm not. I don't know what that means now because if that's not what's wrong, then maybe this is just how I am, this is my personality. I'm just sad a lot, but that's just me. But, I can't be like this forever.
