I'm 17, suffered from depression for 3 years (diagnosed by doc). I know it is tough and I really don't have much advice. I just want you to know that meds arn't going to fix everything. Yes they do help, and I am VERY thankful for them, but there is a lot you will have to work on. I've been in therapy for 3 years and have seen you lately on the SI section so I know what you are going through. I have a long way to go and truthfully I don't know if I'll ever be 'normal'. I just want you to know that it is going to be a lot of work on your part even with the meds. Keep going though. I have wanted to end everything so many times and realized that even through suffering I have been able to keep my friends heads up and keep them from sinking into the depths where I am. I try to keep in mind how many people I help, that is what keeps me going. I hope I have helped you some. Good luck.
