What’s wrong with me and how do I fix it?

Hey. I'm 16 and I think a lot of us feel this way. Depression is an issue people don't take seriously enough. I've been diagnosed with some form of depression I don't care to remember because I feel that it doesn't matter and I just want it to go away. But it doesn't. You claim people don't like you and it makes you feel like a terrible person. I believe everyone feels like a terrible person sometimes - and I mean terrible. The difference is that you are admitting it. Let me tell you that this problem IS a problem, not just a feeling. But it's a problem that isn't everlasting. It's a problem that has been faced millions of times and it's a problem that will feel u undefeatable. It will make you doubt yourself and make you feel like a bad person. But trust me, it isn't true.

There's nothing to "fix", dealing with depression is hard work and it's a constant struggle, but you are a strong person that can and will get through this. Go one day at a time, don't let your emotions take control of you, try to have a little more confidence in yourself, you're a unique person with a unique perspective in life, you're more special than you think and you have a lot of value. Depression makes you have a negative outlook of life, when we're depressed we feel as if the world is against us and nobody loves us, I can assure you this is not true. Lets put it this way: you body needs a certain amount of love right? but half of the love that your body needs comes from within (self love) and the other half from the people that surrounds us, if you don't have a healthy and loving relationship with yourself first, then it will be harder to have them with other people. The road to self acceptance is long, but you need to remind yourself constantly that you are a beautiful soul and embrace the fact that you're a sensitive person and sometimes you have ups and downs and that's okay, you're not required to be happy all the time. Take it easy, I know you can.
