Hi, Walk Alone, I am from UK too and can feel for you - at age 14 I knew I was depressed (or something !). No-one understood me, but now I am able to reach out at age 38 !

You are brave to have reached out to us and my suggestion to you is - are there any places that offer youth counselling and support, I know where I live there is, so maybe there is where you are ?

It could be worth ringing your GP surgery and just inquiring if you can make an app alone ? I know that could be quite nervewracking, but hope you manage to do it.

I can relate to being 'socially retarded' ! I don't know your own experiences of that but if they're anything like mine - its agony. Hope you will post again and take care.......Poppet
