I’m supposed to talk to my school’s counselor every week but she’s been busy for a few weeks, today I was finally able to talk to her. It started off like normal, she asked me about how I was feeling and I lied and said I was okay. I talked to her about my social anxiety and about some more recent family issues. She let me rant to her about my problems and I brought up the fact that I’ve been sleeping in all day and I even slept till 9:00pm to 5:00pm the next day, she then looked at me and said “I’m going to ask you a serious question.” And I got a little nervous but said ok. She then asked “Do you think you have depression?” And I froze there, I quietly said yes and she said that from what I’ve told her about my daily life she thinks I might have depression. I really don’t want my mom to find out because I don’t want her to think she did something wrong or that it’s because of her, I know I have to tell her eventually but I’m not sure how.
