A lot of people who say they are depressed are also over exaggerating it. Some may even lie about it for attention. You can tell the difference between somebody with actual depression and somebody who is just upset about one little thing. Depression is a mental illness. Not a emotion.
Absolutely. I know there’s a great chance that a number of people here are lying or exaggerating for attention, but it’s better to be safe then sorry with this sort of thing.
no thank you basix
have u considered that otf might be the only place some of us can talk abt these things? no, u haven't.
Chess.com isn’t the only place you can talk about these things. You can talk about it in your own life, and adults will help you through this. I strongly recommend that you talk to your parents or a counselor at school. Whether you choose to take my advice or not is up to you, though.
