I just ran across this site today and decided to give it a shot. Today was a bad day for me. I have suffered from depression since I was little and now I'm 21. I actually just realized I need to get help and am seeing a therapist twice a week and am taking zoloft. I live on my own and don't really talk to my family. My co-workers are like family and are trying to help me through this but I end up just getting frustrated with them cuz they just don't understand. They keep telling me to just stop dwelling on the bad things and to just get over it. They don't get it. I have this feeling of hopelessness and just keep thinking what is the point anymore. I have just been staying locked up in my apartment. I don't want to see people when I'm like this but at the same time I am longing for social support. I am so tired of putting on the act and happy face in front of people. I can't do it anymore. I'm not ok and I don't know how to get through this. After reading a few postings, I realized that I am not alone. It is just so hard when the people around you don't understand what you are going to and don't know how to help. It makes me feel really crazy. Anyway, I am just going to try to sleep this away, like I have been doing.
