Themes include:
Bullying
Depression
Cheating
etc.

I don't wanna come off as a dick or an edgy teen, I just wanna find anime like this.

Also they don't have to be super dark. Just a little dark, hopefully sad?

You need Jojo's Bizarre Adventure in your life.

(Warning: VERY dark)

One man is no more than another, if he do no more than what another does.

Hmm...

Orange - highschool romance-drama where the main love interest faces depression
Hotarubi no Mori e - short movie about romance between a girl and a spirit, quiet and heartwarming w/ bittersweet ending
Zankyou no Terror - haven't watched this in awhile, but lw dark, grounded, & serene show that ISN'T about terrorism under its surface
Boku dake ga Inai Machi - psychological mystery / thriller about a man-as-childhood-self trying to change the future to save his childhood friend, themes of loneliness, sadness, happiness, etc., often quiet and heartwarming (not much of a mystery, which pissed off some viewers)

Wanna Cry? Watch kemono no souja Erin, trust me watch the first 8 ep and you will be sad. Anyway, I can only think of Koe no Katachi with the themes u mentioned. Or Kuzu no Honkai

You may or may not have already watched these, but here are my recommendations...

+ Death Note (dark themes)
+ Puella Magi Madoka Magica (dark/sad themes)
+ Pokémon: The First Movie (sad themes)
+ Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (sad themes)
+ Wolf Children (sad themes)
+ Nana (sad themes)

Aku no Hana (Psychological, bullying, perversion, growing up)
Koe no Katachi (Bullying, depression, suicide, ostracizing)

Aku no Hana is pervasively gloomy, where Koe no Katachi is more of a "life" show, so it has ups and downs (the downs are really down though lol).
