I am depressed? Help?

[Rachel]

Being a therapist is a WHOLE lot harder than it seems. That's the field I wanted to go into as well, but like you, I let everything get to me. To be a therapist, you see, hear and feel a lot of different emotions coming from a whole lot of different people and it's extremely difficult. You have to be a very strong person.
And honestly, being unhappy is so overrated. I thought I was ugly and I was insecure but after highschool you don't have meaningless people constantly tearing you down. It really does get better. Make sure these people know that. And never just go to anti depressants. Not everyone needs to jump straight to pills. You have to make your own happiness.
