you are not only depressed but you also have a feeling of lonliness, which is a tough feeling, you could possibly have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), were you bullied in school previously? did you just break up with your girlfriend/boyfriend?

I think that PTSD might be a little extreme but I think it's still worth investigating depression as a legitimate issue that needs to be addressed. Do you think that the poster is displaying symptoms of PTSD? Just curious, I'm not very familiar with it but I thought it was based on extremely traumatic events like combat or something. Thanks!

Apologise for the late reply, i dont often use this website..

I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD because of which the symptoms i have
They are,
*Extremely paranoid when out on the streets thinking someone is out to get you
*Feeling like no one wants you
*Severely stressed or depressed about a past experience
*Constantly thinking about that past experience, having flashbacks, hallucinations

But the authors sounds more like the third one
*Severely stressed or depressed about a past experience

I am 16 years old now

But when i wrote that i was 15 years old
