i understand its difficult. im guessing that since you dont wanna see a doctor that you havent been clinically diagnosed but maybe if you go see one they can help you or give you meds or something. i totally understand how you feel and i pretend like im happy so much i have convinced myself that nothings ever wrong. honestly it gonna sound like im going all religious in you but pray about it. pray about your problems and your family and how you feel.also as far as your grandma goes you still can talk to her. i went to a grief group and camp and it actually helped me. one good method is writing a letter and then you can keep or get rid of it as a way of letting go. in grief camp we threw them into a campfire so the ashes would carry them up. it sounds weird but it really helps.i hope i helped you in some way and i am always here if you need someone to talk to

I remember being depressed at 14 and i have been battling depression for 18 years. now i am 32 years old.
i remember being picked on in school, and going home to an abusive father. if i talked to someone and gotten my classed switched i think i wouldve been okay. talk to your counselor about whats going on. i kept everything bottled up and its not good. the people that picks with you have problems in their lives. please dont just sit there and deal with that, like i've done when i was your age. talk to the principal, your parents, your friends for a resolution.

I Agree with The Idea Of Writting Letters An Burning Them, Its Really Helpfull And I Have Also Used It Before.
I Understand Completely How You Feel As I Was Bullied For Fourr Years, Since I Was Nine And I Never Got Over It, Everything Has Built Up And Same As You, Im Fourteen And Depressed, Suicidal And Very Nervous Around New Things And People.
My Parents Hardly Listen And When They Do, They Dont Understand So I Talk To Friends And A Councerlerr. Iv Now Been Taken Out Of School And Now House Bound Due To Fear. Buu Determanted To Get Through This All And Help Others Who Feel The Same.
Keep Strong. Your Not Alonee And Im here Iff You Need To Tallkk.xx
