I don't ignore it anymore. I cry. I cry and I cry and I cry until I can't cry anymore. It's not like I can control it. It just happens. I guess that's what happens when you have depression. I still don't believe it. My mom thought I was acting weird, so she took me to see a psychologist. I was diagnosed with depression and given pills I refused to take. I don't like what's happening to myself. Why am I depressed? Taylor Swift knows I exist. Shouldn't I be happy? That's when I learned something. Being depressed and being sad are two totally different things. You can be depressed for no reason at all. I don't understand why my mom is so worried. I don't self-harm and I don't plan on it. I've never considered suicide. (Alright. Maybe a few times when I'd lost my mind after a particularly hard day when I just thought life wasn't worth living, but my mom doesn't know that)I just don't get it. I want a normal life. I want friends, parents who don't constantly fight, an older sister who cares about me and who I can look up to, and a boyfriend wouldn't hurt. But again, why should I be complaining? My life is no picnic, but it's better than a lot. Shouldn't I be grateful? The guilt of hating my life makes everything seem worse. Maybe I do just deserve to die. "NO" I firmly say to myself. "DO NOT THINK LIKE THAT. STOP IT DAMMIT" I decide to look at Taylor's comment again, it usually cheers me up. It didn't this time. I lay down and fall asleep, the second the first teardrop rolls down my cheek, and onto my pillow.
