I'm new here.

Hey, so I'm new to this community and I really have been having a hard time with anxiety and depression but any time I try to talk to my mom about it she just talks over me and says that I'm depressed because I don't do anything but I have had a really odd life and I just don't know what to do with myself anymore. I also have super bad anxiety right now because I got "In trouble" at school for trying to leave when my mom gave me permission to go. I know I have nothing to worry about I just feel like my teachers think I'm a bad kid now because they think I tried to "skip class". Help?

Brooklyn, welcome to the forum..

In your mom's defense, for people who don't experience chronic anxiety, it is a hard, subjective thing to understand. It's a good step that you're reaching out to other anxiety warriors here online. It would also probably help to find sympathetic folks in your daily life. People who can relate to, and support your struggle.
In the meantime, stay strong and feel free to share & comment here. Peace

Welcome to the forum. @He Man has it right. Unless you go through it, it is hard to understand. I got the whole lazy thing for years here. How I wish it was just that. Would have made life so much easier. Got so used to hearing it that it would mean nothing after a while. I wouldn't take it in. Anxiety and depression are hard to understand for those who never had them. Simple as that.

Welcome to the forum Brooklyn. Most people can't even understand Severe Anxiety or Depression or most mental illness. It's like trying to describe a color to a blind person they've never experienced it. Just know you're not alone in this and you can always post on here for help or just to vent.

I can tell you from experience that anxiety and depression rarely go away without treatment. Even talking to some about how you feel is a forum of treatment.
