ok, so im new to this website and really just signed up as a "what the hell, why not" sorta thing. i think i may be clinically depressed, but still unsure, cause i've looked up the symptoms online and i may have it, but im a bit skeptic. i have thoughts about my inadequacy and it just gets to a point where im just mentally exhausted and want to do "things" i know i shouldnt. self-pity, self-hate, im just really insecure and i whole bunch of things i dont want to list cause it'll just make me sadder. im thinking of asking a doctor but the problem is i dont know how to tell my parents/friends about this and im afraid the change this could bring. i know my parents are busy and i really dont want to worry them, i might not be sure if they'll be there for me, but i just dont want to give them more to worry about cause they work real hard for me. also, i have siblings and i dont know how they'll react and im scared of the overall outcome of my situation. btw, im male and age 15 just really want thoughts/feedback
