Aap are in a very tough spot, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Depression can make everything feel heavier, especially when there’s pressure from home. Let’s think about how to make this a little lighter.
If aap can, share what aap are going through with a family member or friend. They might not understand everything, but even a little support can help. If aap are worried about how they’ll react, think of someone who’s been kind to aap before.
