#Atiny...I have a confession to make (I started writing this while almost breaking down in my English 1 class working on "Julius Caesar" analysis paragraphs). In 2022, I was diagnosed with depression, and...school just felt tougher after my diagnosis. I am someone who doesn't really like critisicm, with the exceptions being in music, art, and theater (because I can easily improve on those). When I try to ask for help, I feel like I'm about to start crying. I know that I have people who can help me, but I am somewhat too shy and anxious to ask for their assistance. They just kind of have to ask if I'm alright and then I respond, and then they help me with whatever I need help with. All in all: I have a fear of being judged or shamed by others. I hope other people on here can relate, and can help support each other in incidents like this. #vent
