My sister had clinical depression, we have been doing lots of therapy to get her back to normal my mom is worried about her and so an I, we had to do lots of family therapy but things are looking good for her now shes a bit of a mood but i still love her even when she tells me she hates me I still check on her and try to make her laugh. Though the sad part is my family doesn't know im struggling whith my own problems, My mom doesn't seem to notice how I am feeling evin evin thought i told her im struggling whith sadness and low self-esteem 24/7 it may look like Im doing fine you might ask me if I'm doing ok, I'm going to lie to your face and tell you im fine whith a smile on my face, il teel my friends that the scars on my wrist are from me falling down or a cat that scratch me but there not there frome me. Il choke down my problem to make shure you're ok. My mom probably thought i was just going through a fase because i don't SHOW any sings of depression, I don't like to bother people whoth my problems so i keep them hidden and i try to act happy i have been dealing whith this for three years before i told everyone, it has been 2 and a half years since i told someone and i still haven't gotten eny help, my mom thinks that the few months of family therapy did the trick but they didn't, shure they helped a little bit but im still constantly stressed and sad, it feels like a thousand claws tearing at my chest when i wake up every morning.
