Hi, this is my first time on a forum, I have been feeling really down lately. I have been close to tears or crying every night lately and I have been feeling hopeless. But overall I just feel vulnerable and unsure of myself. Its like I'm having an identity crisis. I have been having a hard time being myself and I'm becoming more and more disconnected from my friends and family. I don't know if this is common for teenagers or not but it has been going on for about three months now and I'm becoming really concerned. I haven't wanted to bring it up to my parents because I don't want to worry them.. but please any advice or guidance is welcome.
