Helen ~ Do you think your parents would help you get therapy? You are SEVERELY DEPRESSED! How do I know? Because you isolate, because you don't do the things you used to love, like drawing, writing stories, because you have no interest in life. THAT, my friend, is severe depression! I was just like you , and that's exactly what my psychiatrist told me - that I was severely depressed. And that's what my psychologist told me -- severe depression. I've been thru therapy and believe me it works wonders.

I found out things I didn't even know about myself, and of course we worked on thiings that I DID know were bothering me -- like my rotten childhood. You have to be willing to be OPEN and HONEST with your therapist.

Can you get into therapy? If not, you can at LEAST talk openly and honestly with your medical doctor -- he can help you too. So please do one or the other will you? You do need HELP and it's there for the asking. But don't just let it go like this.

Call your doc for a referral to a therapist, or to talk to your doc. One or the other, but please get some help, okay? And do something else? Let me know what happens? I'd REALLY like to know. You can private message me or something, but please let me know, ok? Hugs, Lee
