Answer 2

Okay, first off, you can’t trust online or a simple test to diagnose you. Only a doctor can diagnose you. So for right now, you could have depression, alright? 

It’s best to tell a trusted adult (that could be a school counselor or someone like that too) and say all your symptoms. The next time you have a doctor appointment, you should ask the doctor.

You really need to tell someone though, that is the first step to helping with everything!

Ok, thx, but I don't feel like I can tell my parents. And I'm homeschooled, so I don't have a school counselor. If I did I would tell them tho.

Could you tell a grandparent maybe? Or a close friend?
