Its more because people are cruel judgmental people that been bringing me down. Last night i cried for no reason, me 2 o'clock in the morning crying for no reason and getting up to go to school been harder to do my school start at 7:45 my bus arrives at 7:16 its like a 6 min walk to the bus stop and lately i been waking up at 6:50 or later i will wake up at 5:50 because i use to to get up that early to get ready for school but lately i will wake up and go back to sleep. I will come home and sleep again. Its hard, and it gets harder and harder and harder everyday getting up for school and getting up in general. I don't have friends like i said people can be cruel and i'm just plain awkward.
i Know that i should seek help but i don't think its gonna help, its so predictable
to know what doctors would say.
i been distracting myself with books,art,music trying not to pressure and stress myself, it hasn't been working but at least i'm trying.
i been sinking.
I feel like i been sinking like i'm falling, like when your dreaming and you fall and you wake up but i'm not waking up because i'm not dreaming and how much i wish i was. It would make so much sense. I always thought that maybe i'm asleep and this is my nightmare and i will wake you happy. I wish i was asleep.

Hi Angelica,
I think that shutting out the world for a while might not be such a bad idea. I know how it is, and you might need to do that a bit to protect yourself. I think that books, art and music can also be very helpful. If you are a student, I think that getting really, really into studying can be beneficial also.
Depression is a thing that makes you feel passive and helpless, even when you're not really. It really helps to understand exactly how it works and why it's hard to get at directly:

I know you are very young still, but I think it helps a lot to actively try things and find out what works for yourself. You might get some ideas from what I think is the best overall plan:
