I need advice on depression....?

ok so im 14 [going into to highschool] and i have been feeling really depressed lately and i dont know what to do
one thing that you should know about me is that a have a birth defect [gosh i hate how that sounds]. the thing is that theres this muscle right above my the front half of my left eyebrow that holds down half of it. this makes it so i cannot raise half of my left eyebrow. it also holds down my left eye lid so it makes it look like my left eye is always half shut. i feel like such a freak. i always feel like im not good enough for my friends.

all in all
i have like no self esteem
this is like the first time that i've really said anything about it. i always hide it and no one notices. which makes me feel more alone because i feel like i have no one in my life that knows when somethings wrong with me.


anyway, im tired of feeling so sad and insecure. does anyone have any advice? what should i do?


[sorry for rambling on there.]

No one in this world is perfect. everyone has something different about them and they probably think the same thing you do. they just don't show it or it doesn't show to other people.
There are tons of things you can do. like write down every good thing you can do. like you are funny, smart, any talent or anything possibly interesting about yourself. and that will make you happy.
your beautiful how you are. and don't put yourself down, or compare yourself to other people. it will just make yourself feel worse.
You have friends because they care about you, if you weren't good enough for them they wouldn't be there, but they are. You can talk to them about it. They should make you feel loved and cared about so just talk to them, they will make you feel 2735672356X's better
You were given this life because you were strong enough to live it and get through you birth defect.
And you are only given one life so live it happily.

Don't worry. If they are your friends then they love you for your personnality not the way you look. You will meet the right guy who loves you for you too. I know a girl who's eye is always half shut and one of her hands is messed up (she has no fingers) I still am friends with her and i don't think she could be any better. don't worry you arn't a freak. You are good enough for your friends cuz they are still friends with you arn't they1 ;)

I think if you're worried about your self esteem you should def look into seeing a psychologist or the school counselor. They can help you work through some things to help build your confidence. Why wouldn't you feel good enough for your friends? They shoudn't just be friends with you based on your looks. I def. think it would be beneficial for you to see the school counselor or a professional psychologist to work on these issues.

Good luck

see a doctor. it sounds like you need someone impartial to talk to. go to a psychiatrist or a counselor, just talking to someone really does help. and theres no shame in it. if you dont want people to know just dont tell them , but its not something to hide.
