Answer by Caitie Shores
Talk to someone about it. A good friend, or even a therapist. If you really think you may have depression then you can go to your doctor or therapist and tell them & ask them questions.

Thats probably the best thing you can do right now. Keep your head up high 🙂 my best wishes to you!
