Hi happyfeet. In my opinion, no one is too young to know what depression is. I started medication for depression when I was 10.

I know what you mean about looking at your friends and family around you...I'm 32 and I have no career to speak of and no children though I'd like some. I can't help but feel isolated sometimes, like others don't understand because they seem so successful.

But it has nothing to do with you being a failure!!! I haven't been here at PC long, but I have already encountered people in similar situations who are so supportive and awesome. There are people out there that understand and who are willing to talk.
