I was diagnosed with minor depression when i was like 7 years old and they didnt do anything about it and said i would just grow out of it but i never did and no one ever told me thats what i had so i always wondered why i was different and stuff and i thought that maybe there was something wrong with me then i heard my mom a talking to my school counselor about it when i was like 13 and thats when i started looking up all my symptoms online and i realized i have social anxiety and then i became suicidal and i told my school counselor and then my mom sent me to a psychologist and she gave me medication for it but i didnt like the medication i didnt want to feel like i had to depend on a pill just so i could be myself so i stopped taking it and started trying to get over my anxiety on my own and so far i think its going really well and i think ive learned to believe in myself more and i think its made me stronger.
