You've just described my Life, @Vlaga. Yes, it DOES seem like you're struggling A LOT! I COMPLETELY agree with you that a Therapist may be the best idea to help you cope and deal with ALL of what you're gong through! I am sorry your parents wont' take you seriously! Can I ask you how old are you? Since you've said you've graduated high school, you should be AT LEAST eighteen or older, am I correct? You're an adult and you have EVERY RIGHT to get help if you want to. My advice would be to have a REALLY SERIOUS TALK with your parents and see how it goes from there. Make them understand that you NEED and WANT help and that you want them to be supportive of you. Perhaps you can make them read some articles about Depression to make them understand that what you're going through isn't healthy. Perhaps you may even consider a Pdoc to help you with your Mood throughout Meds although that is YOUR choice. So please, definitely talk things through with them and let us know it goes with them if you want to! Wish you THE ABSOLUTE BEST OF LUCK WITH IT! Feel free to PM me ANYTIME if you need someone who'll listen WITHOUT judging you! I PROMISE YOU THAT! THAT'S A PROMISE! YOU CAN REST ASSURED OF THAT! I am SURE you're not alone iny our struggles so please reach out to ANYONE HERE as I'm SURE plenty of people will be glad to BEAUTIFULLY, KINDLY, SMARTLY, SWEETLY, CARINGLY, WISELY, INTELLIGENTLY, DEARLY, DELIGHTFULLY, CHARMINGLY, DARLINGLY, DEARLY AND WONDERFULLY HELP YOU OUT AS WELL IF YOU JUST ASK! THAT'S A PROMISE! YOU CAN REST ASSURED OF THAT! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH YOU, @Vlaga, your Family, your Friends, your Boyfriend, your Therapist, your Pdocs and ALL of your Loved Ones! KEEP FIGHTING AND KEEP ROCKING AS MUCH AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN LIKE YOU'RE ALREADY WONDERFULLY DOING ALL AND ENTIRELY BY YOURSELF AND ALL AND ENTIRELY ON YOUR OWN NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK? PLEASE NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GIVE UP HOPE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS LIKE YOU'RE ALREADY WONDERFULLY DOING ALL AND ENTIRELY BY YOURSELF AND ALL AND ENTIRELY ON YOUR OWN!
