Fake depression???!

Fake depression???

I'm 15, & I THINK I have some sort of mental illness (depression, anxiety, etc), but I don't know if I really have it or if i'm trying to make myself think I have it b/c I want attention or something...? I haven't told any of my friends or family because I think that would just be proving myself right about "wanting attention". Please help?

Um i feel, like my life has no purpose? I won't do anything with my life. I feel...hideously ugly all the time? & i worry about it every day. I feel like i'm not good at anything...at all. I feel like I don't really have friends? That when we hang out...i'm just...THERE. I don't hang out with people outside of my "friend circle" because I worry I won't be interesting enough or fun. I'm really sorry if I sound like a whiney brat.

There is no such thing as fake depression but there are diffrerent degrees of depression. you should really talk to one of your family members about what is going on and maybe see if they will let you talk to a therapist or something. Depression will get worse if left untreated.
