That I’ve been depressed to some extent since I was 9 years old and moved to another country. Now I’m trying to think what happened in that country that triggered my first major depressive episode around 10.

Let’s see first living in a country where nobody speaks English made it impossible to socialize with people my own age.

Second, due to the lack of friends and extreme heat of the country. I stayed inside most of the time.

Third, staying inside caused me to isolate myself.

Fourth, thoughts of suicide at such a young age were wreaking havoc on my mind.

Fifth, parents refused to let me take medication because they thought it was “a phase”

Sixth, finally moved back state side. But by that time I had aged three years, gained a massive amount of weight, and lost my social skills.

Seventh, experienced huge culture shock when I finally returned stateside since I was born. This and lack of social skills left me in a mental stall. Was in the scouts since I was 8. But dropped out shortly returning stateside because I was being bullied so bad in it.

Now I’m just a frustrated 26 year old who is severely overweight.
