@craigjonesslipknot5 Hi Craig, if you have severe anxiety like this, there is treatment available. You don't have to suffer. Call your doctor.

i get stressed out about everything, especially academic stuff. I don't like when I get a lower grade than someone whom I KNOW generally gets lower grades than me...

I had an overdose and ended up back in the mental health clinic for an appointment, I really wanted to talk about how I'd been feeling and without my parents watching, instead my parents both sat there with a man who was convinced I was just bored. I felt undermined and silly..so now I feel alone, sad and stuck again.

@thorndra I am sorry this happened. Calling 800-273-TALK (8255) is confidential. If you are in school make an appointment to talk to a counselor. I hope this helps.

I like this clip. It's movie quality. I feel I relate to that young gentleman...

0:03 I wish there was people like that around me. I tend to keep to myself. I wish I was more assertive...

I've been struggling a lot with depression symptoms. It's hard, and a lot of my friends and my parents don't really take it seriously when I try to tell them...I've been having some issues with friends, but I actually talked to one about it today, so I hope it gets better. It's a lot of stress to, just like the boy in this video, and it gets hard to handle. I want to be able to fight it on my own without seeing a psychologist. Does that really help? Just talking to someone?

This is so scary, because this is exactly how I have been for a month or two, but I talked to someone (my dad) and now I think it's going to get better.. :)
