Teen Ink is an awesome magazine. An article that I really liked was "Depression" by Jackie K.. Reading it, I was surprised to realize that I too might be depressed. When friends want me to go out with them, I'll make up some excuse and not go; I miss out on a lot. And there are times when I just break down crying for no reason. Sometimes I feel unwanted. Sometimes I think it has to do with stress, but then I don't know, because it happens quite often.

If it wasn't for this article, I would never even have considered actual depression as my problem. Now I'm thinking that I should talk to someone about it and get some help.
