TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
i'm lost, once again. I've always dealt with anxiety and at times depression, but, i felt like i was pass my depression. Now im sitting here feeling really low. I dont see myself as a mean person but its like my friends no longer want to talk to me. I put so much energy in my friendships and relationships, but, no one ever returns the favor. I've been through alot in my childhood and i used to look at those dark days as my past, but , now i feel like im just in same place. i have a 2.8 gpa and 1610 sat, i go to a private school and thats the worst grade according to all of my friends. im so embarrased i lie about my grades automatically. im definitely feeling the pressure of the college process. Im supposed to be figuring stuff out and writing essay to ensure that i have a great future when i dont even know if i can make it to tomorrow.
