I don't like telling people as i feel like they will think i am seeking attention, or they won't be interested. It's got to the point now though where it is really getting me down and not a day goes by where i don't cry. What can i do? Reply to this Question

 I'm am the same way, i tend to bottle up my feelings because i don't like for people to see me cry and i don't want them to think i'm being dramatic or something. I always turn to music. Find songs that you can relate to and buy a diary and write your feelings out. I have turned my crying into a good thing. Its sometimes good to let those tears out. But with all my writing i don't cry as much. And sometimes its okay to tell someone when they have upset you or tell someone else about it.

your mum/dad/best friend, or even your professional GP.
It sounds like you've bottled these thoughts up for long enough, that things have now gotten to the point of depression.
Your GP can offer you various ways to deal with depression, but you really should tell someone else close to you too, so they can share what is going on in your mind and how its affecting your daily life, and you won't feel like you're going through this alone.
A problem shared is a problem halved... As they say.

What is it that's actually bothering you? write it down, tell a friend, or a pet or just someone. i always kept everything to myself and it honestly makes you quite depressed as you can't sort anything out and move on with your life. i ended up telling one of my friends in floods of tears one day over the phone, and it honestly helped me so much. she didn't say anything really, she just listened, and it sounds so cliche, but it really does lift a huge weight off your chest. so seriously if it's someone on here, a friend, family, etc. talk to someone about it, you're not being attention seeking, everyone needs a bit of attention every now and then, and now is your turn! good luck, and i really hope you feel better soon! xxx

 you need to go to your parents and ask them to help you find a good doctor. crying every day is not normal.
being depressed is not normal and it's fixable.
you need to seek a counselor and medical intervention.

 Write all your hurt, your anger, your frustrations in a paper and describe everything in details what you feel. Write as if you are talking to the person who have hurt you but do not send it. Just pour out all your emotions...no denial but speak from your heart and with all honesty. This helps.
Then after, tell to yourself you will no longer dwell on this kind of feelings, tell to yourself you will get your power back again and you will be strong to face any emotional difficulties and you can handle them maturely. Overcome all negative thoughts and feelings. As you are feeling now, you do not like it, don't you?
It is time to make changes. You can do it.
