I'm moody, but it's moody in a good way (for now). I have a good mood currently, but I know in a few hours or more that going to change. It makes me upset, like i keep getting this glimpse of happiness and disappears with out a trace. Sometimes when i get really bad, I completely forget there is a good mood coming. I live so deeply in the moment. For a year I've been exhibiting signs of a bad mental illness, and I completely ignored it because I thought that mood was just what I was feeling and who I was. Usually people in a matter of weeks would be able to tell there depressed. It took me a year! And it wasn't even I who brought myself to the doctors office, it was my mom who forced me. It's weird how I stood so open arms to my mental illness and just accepted it was apart of me. Sometimes I feel I'm too young for this to happen to me, I'm still in high school. :/ At the moment, I just look at other peoples positions and be grateful for what I have.

In my time at school depression was not recognized by anyone; my depression was not recognized by anyone. It took me 10 years to get help. Getting treatment, proper recognozrd treatment, early on leads to much better outcomes. Its standard to have some routine physical tests by your doctor and if you are in fact diagnosed with depression you can begin to tackle it. Living a healthy life helps but simple plans and ideas are not going to cut it. I wish you well for your future; there is so much ahead for you.

That's great that your mom realized you needed help and helped you get it. And it's good that you can look at other people's issues and find something to be grateful for. Most people only see their on misery. Being grateful can be great state of mind.
