I don t feel like going to talk to my school counselor and I don t feel like talking to a friend about this, so I decided to talk to you. (a stranger) Lately I haven t had the energy to do anything, my dorm room is filthy, and I absolutely hate waking up in the mornings. I feel like a failure in school and like I am living in my friend s shadow... I don t know if I am depressed or not, but I feel like I shouldn t be because I am the one to help people and make them feel better about themselves, even when I can t do the same for me. I don t know how to ask for help, and I may not need help, but I feel dead inside.
