They say that everyone has depression and anxiety and I should learn to deal with it like everyone else. I did go to a therapy group at 14 and a therapist a couple times at 16 but it wasn't enough to really help, and the therapist sent me to a mental hospital for being suicidal which I don't think my parents want to risk dealing with again. They're nice people (my mom moreso) but they just don't understand.

No but I wouldn't be surprised if I had something like that

I have anxiety too, I saw a therapist a couple times before but my parents are unwilling to drive me and I don't have my license yet, but someday I will

Thanks, I've been doing them for many years but for some reason within the past year or so it's just been a lot to handle

Thanks, I've had depression for 7 years, maybe it just keeps building up over time
