QUESTION: Only 3 people care for me in my life (Best Friend, Grandma and Papa (Lives in Michigan as I live in Arizona), and since I only have my best friend, I don't have any idea of how to express myself. I pretend to be someone I'm not. I don't have anyone that care for me. How do I get out of depression- I feel like it will never escape my body.
ADVICE:
Stand up for yourself and for others if they are being bullied. Always look for help. I've tried everyone I knew well and asked for help, but if you can't find someone, sometimes, the person you need is right in front of you. Have HOPE: Hold, On, Pain, Ends.
