Hello, this is my first post on here. I am a 17 year old girl, and while I do not think I am depressed, I have lately been having depressing thoughts. Let me explain:
I have been having thoughts that I am unloveable or hard to love, and that because of this I will go through life without ever being loved.
I KNOW these thoughts are completely false--I am surrounded by family members and friends who love and care for me. At times, just thinking about how lucky I am to have them makes me sad.
It's just that when stress and other factors compound in my life, I tend to focus on my loneliness. I cry in the car because no one can see me, because I don't want others to think that I am unhappy when I really shouldn't be.
If you've had an experience with having feelings like this, please reply. I'm sure this is just a case of teenage angst.
