For the past few weeks or so I've just been feeling super tired. I'm ignoring my friends texts, and sometimes I feel as if I can't even move. I usually take a nap and get back to whatever I was doing, but it's always there. Just talking to people or being near them seems to drain me so fast. I feel just drained and empty. I've cut myself a few times, just so I can feel something. I might be getting a bit poetic here but I feel like a shell of my former self. Like the person I used to be has shriveled away and I'm all that's left. I don't know if it's depression or something but I don't feel safe coming out to my parents about how I feel. I don't really have any friends I can talk to either. All they'll do is freak out and try to tell my parents or the rest of my friends, which is not what I want.
