Um...I don't know where to start.


I guess that for some reason, I feel like I'm in despair.

I tried to talk to my school counseler and my friends but no matter what, I can't dig myself out of this hole I'm in...

I guess it comes from my friends who are in band, saying over on Facebook that they made it to wind ensemble while I'm the girl who is left behind, a non-band member. I just feel like they want to leave me behind....and ignore me.

Also, The only thing special about me is my writing and art and yet the former doesn't get noticed and even with my writing skills, it's always overshadowed by other people and I just feel...small.

No matter what, I feel out of place and...It's making me going deeper down into depression.

I mean, I want to get help, but I just can't communicate with people well....especially since I'm usually paranoid that people are judging me, which adds on why I'm usually depressed most of the time....

I just don't know what to do...help...??

I really want to welcome you to the site.

I am not sure that how your friends have succeeded should effect how you have. I understand that you feel left out but just because they are in band does not make them better than you. I think that where you excel they may not. Look at all that you do best in and take pride in that.

Being the best at everything never works. Comparing tourself to others is not good either. I know it is hard not too, but you are good in writing and art and maybe they are not so good. Be proud of who you are and that will help you.

Talk to your parents about feeling low and ask for professional help if you feel that is what you need. I was scared that people would say I was crazy, but depression is so common that it is widely treated and can help so many people that really want to get better. I also think you should see a professional to speak with on a weekly, bi-weeklyor monthly basis this also helps so many people.

Do not be scared or ashamed to ask and get help.
