I honestly haven't felt this depressed since the 10th grade. I was all kinds of depressed in high school. The only time that I can ever remember being happy is in 11th grade. And now my depression is back and it's taking no prisoners. All I feel like doing is.....harming myself. I keep on telling myself that once I leave for college in the Fall that everything will be okay; I'll stop being depressed, I'll stop having urges to hurt myself, but now, I'm not too sure.
One of the biggest problems that I have is the fact that I'm 18 years old and I have some of the most overprotective parents. I'm at my breaking point with them and I honestly can't do it anymore. I hate staying in this house with them, which is why I keep telling myself that once I leave that everything will be okay. But, because of financial reasons, I'll have to come back to this house after my first year of college and live here. I'm really not trying to come off as a brat at all, it's just, when you're locked up like a caged bird, you're bound to get lonely and start to feel bad about yourself after awhile. And I've gotten to that point.

Just keep your head up :-) things will get better. I think you need to talk to your parents about how u feel or maybe a therapist. Do u have any friends to talk To? talking always seem to help.

Hello. I do have friends to talk to, but I'm not one to share very much with them because of past bad experiences that I've had with sharing things with people. And I really don't like burdening other people with my issues.
