These people who I know care even won't say anything other than "that's life" "oh well" "you just have to deal with it" etc. when I have so much stress to complain about, like I'm not asking them fix my problems or anything, but could they at least say "I'm sorry you have to deal with this" or "yeah it sucks" or just anything that doesn't equate to "that's life." Like I know it is, I'm telling you about this cos I feel bad and would like to feel a bit better before having to deal with it so that it doesn't drive me as crazy.
Way to stop me from ending up in another depression there.

Yeah, I personally still get nervous talking about my problems because I feel like people will tell me to shut up or that I'm whiney or something.

Even my close friend honestly had no idea. Like I figured if I told her "yeah I get sad a lot for random reasons (or even no reason at all) and it often lasts for days and I don't talk to like anyone anymore and that's kinda the reason I miss like two days of school every week and yeah I think there's something wrong with me" she probably wouldn't have even believed me, or people would have been like "nah for sure there's nothing wrong, you're so cute and innocent, you're not ever sad about anything blahblahblah". Um. No. Not really. I just hide it and pretend I'm okay for you guys so you don't get worried or whatever. Like she always said I was 'sheltered' because I hadn't 'experienced anything', but no. That's called being poor and living with a single parent and not having friends for like 90% of your childhood. Tends to kind of limit the things you can do.

Like, I'm sorry I wasn't born in the right family for you.
But yeah, I think these friends that I have now are like the only people who've cared/believe me so far. But I only met them like six months/a year ago so it's kinda too late now. I told them about it anyway and they were like... 'wow I had no idea'. ._______. Like... I thought it was obvious. I was
never at school for all of 10th grade and much of 11th. xD
