Putting On A Fake Smile
I need help.
Lately, I've been feeling really down and I've been putting a fake smile on my face but it just isn't working anymore.
I have tried explaining to my friends how I am feeling but they just don't understand and I have this one friend who told me to come here so I'm giving it a try.
I'm not so sure what to do anymore, everything's out of hand, there's too much going on.
I just I don't really know anymore.
What should I do?

It sounds like you are dealing with something difficult and are needing support.  Sometimes it is really hard to know what to do when you are feeling upset.  Being able to talk about your feelings will help you.  Do you ever talk to your family about how you are feeling?  Some ways to cope and feel better when feeling upset are;  expressing how you feel by writing poetry, drawing,  listening to music,  exercising,  or talking to a friend, family member, an adult you trust, or a counselor. 
Talking about your feelings and your concerns will help you. 

It is great that you found us.  When you are able to,  please email us back to talk more about what is causing you to feel upset.  You do not have to go through whatever it is you are dealing with alone.  We are here to help you in any way that we can.  You can also call our hotline listed below if you would prefer to speak to one of our counselors directly.  Hope to hear back from you soon!

Take care,
