Well it's been pretty tough to fall asleep lately. I don't know if it's because I can't get my mind to stop wandering for five minutes or if I have a real problem. I think I've found a root to all my issues but I didn't think it'd make me feel this way. Lately I've been depressed and just can't seem to get happy. I feel like nothing I do is good enough for my family, my friends, my teachers, myself.... In society today, most may see my mood as seeking attention but I really need help. I need to put a lid on this because I'm tired of feeling this way. All I've wanted to do lately is cry and cry and cry and cry but I don't give myself enough time to really express my emotions. I bottle them up and hope that the seal won't break at the most inconvenient time. I don't feel like I'm my age. I feel like my problems range from being a 16 year old girl to a 20 year old girl. I feel like I worry so much about things that won't change anything for a few years and it's driving me insane!!! I need help. I need support. I need a friend.

It is definitely important to not hold everything in. I am very bad about doing that. I would let things build up and build up and then I would just explode like a volcano. You have to have an outlet. Coming to this site, for example, is an outlet. It lets you voice fears, concerns, etc. Then you can get feedback from others who understand. Another thing is writing things down in a journal. I do that as well. You've recognized that you have a problem and are seeking help. That is a big step. If you feel you need to speak to your parents about seeing a doctor(psychiatrist/psychologist). To be honest I wish I would have done that when i was young. i waited until I was much older.
Worry can be a constant companion. I would often worry myself sick. Cheat myself out of sleep. Learning to be in the moment is hard but possible. I can't change yesterday,so no reason to focus on it. Tomorrow isn't here. I just have right now. That is easy to say I know.
Spend time with your friends and family. It helps. I isolated myself and it was not good.

I hope things get better.
