I have all of my strong feelings (No, it's not love) bottled up inside me, and I never have the chance to let them out. I have anger and trust issues, and I might be depressed. I don't even know how I'm feeling right now, there's too many emotions.

This is a bit of a curve-ball answer, but have you considered taking up a sport or martial art? Muay Thai worked really well for me. I had major anger issues because I didn't understand why I was the way I was, and my anger prevented me from accepting help. I started Muay Thai and within a few months I started feeling a lot better and was willing to accept help and trust the people that wanted to help.

I lost all happiness now that I can't talk to anyone because I'm grounded ik it sounds dumb but my family is also overwhelming and it's hard to keep calm and fake a smile.

Being grounded usually has a time limit right? Just be patient and wait it out. I know parents think you're supposed to use the time to reflect on what you've done wrong, but screw that, pick up a book, do some studying, anything to take your mind off it. Oh and don't ever feel that you have to fake a smile. The only smiles worth seeing are genuine ones, and if it's not worth smiling over, they don't deserve your smile. P.S. Back when I was younger, We got chores when I got grounded, would you believe my parents made me muck out the cow shed and round-up the sheep ON FOOT!

Don't fake smile, you're telling everyone that you are OK, when you're not. If they can't make you smile, they don't deserve your smile. Maybe you're just worn out by this pandemic, and feeling a bit lonely? I can't help with the silence because I have the opposite problem, I can't shut out the noise. I hear it everywhere and it drives me mad, every car that drives even near my house, every clock, the washing machine, even the wind in the chimney! There is noise everywhere and as soon as you notice it, you'll struggle to ignore it. Just keep your ears open, you'll find something.

I have tons of anxiety that my parents don't know about. They know I have anxiety, but don't know how bad it is. Every night, I have to check every corner, window and closet in my room. Every time I go I to the bathroom I check the shower multiple times. Also, I don't respond to texts because I don't know what the person will say back. I don't reach out to my friends or talk to them about real things because I don't know what they will say about it. I never talk in school because if I have to talk infront of people, I get lightheaded and sweaty. Every morning and most nights I have a stomachache from anxiety. I think I have an anxiety disorder, but don't tell anyone because the one time I told someone, they laughed. I have suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts but dont tell anyone because I am scared that I will have to go to therapy or something. I lied at my doctors appointment about not being impacted by anxiety or depression. I comfort myself by thinking, maybe I won't even live to that, so I won't have to deal with it. I don't talk about my feelings because I want to fit in. My parents know something is wrong, but every time I try to talk about it, I feel like I can't breathe. Sorry if I am rambling, but I just really needed to get it out.

my experiences aren't exactly the same, of course, but I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. I know it's really hard. I'm here for you though <3

well, the person I have really strong feelings for (as in, love) is dating someone else... and just in general I've been in a really bad place mentally lately. But I feel like I can't tell any of my friends and family, because I don't want to be a bother to them. so, yeah
