Tw: depression
Recently I’ve fallen into a well of depression. Nothing like this has happened to me before, and my whole life I’ve been very cheerful and extroverted. But lately my parents have started noticing that I’ve been more tired, and that I just seem less happy in a way. I’ve been trying so so hard to mask it but I can’t. I want them to think I’m okay, cause I can handle this on my own. I don’t need or want other people to get involved. I can’t talk to my parents about this for reasons. What am I supposed to do?

not going to pry, but what are these reasons(doesn't have to be specific)? why do you need to mask?
Mostly just because they already have a lot going on, and whenever I try to talk to them about this stuff they just don’t tell me what I need to hear. It makes me feel like I’m a burden.
oh, well that sounds terrible. do you have any friends or a school counsellor you can talk to?
I’m homeschooled, and I don’t really have any friends
ah. I feel like it'd be good to possibly do some hobbies or things you enjoy, try and find people in person you trust, and can talk to. do you have any other trustworthy adult figures?
I have to go do smth rn but I’ll be back in like an hour sorry
