I think I could be depressed
Hi, I'm Ines. I'm a 12 year old girl, and I think I might be depressed. I think this because I feel sad often for no apparent reason. I often feel like I'm about to cry for no apparent reason, it just hits me. I also self harm, but just scratching with a pocket knife. I find it hard to sleep sometimes, and I often have strange dreams- the other day I had one where I was taking anorexia pills and I overdosed. I get headaches and lose my appetite quite often too, and I get anxiety and get nervous very easily because I'm very shy. This was my last resort after countless google searches, help please? Today was a bad day, and I don't want to go on like this.
