Hey everyone, or to anyone that has decided to waste their time reading this pathetic piece of writing. I'm 19 years old and I suffer from severe depression and have had it since about grade 10 or at least that is when I first really knew I had it. I live away from home and I am currently living off government money because I can't work due to the severity of the depression. It's truly a beast.
Admittedly I am quite selfish but I will try to help all the people out there that are looking for some advice or my opinion on something that intrests them but I cannot make any promises, forgive me. I will talk to you soon (Whoever is bothering to read this) and have a good day! |

Hey Dude! Welcome to the forums! I don't consider it a waste of time to read your post and get to know you a bit. I hope you'll stick around and write more. And you're right, depression is definitely a beast, but we try to work together here to keep it under control as much as possible.
Be as selfish as you need to be, it's your health and well-being that you're talking about. There are many warm and caring people here that can help you get thru the rough spots. Many of them have helped me, and I'm very grateful for that. I'm looking forward to getting to know you, and welcome to the family! Greg |

Hey,
You are very young and have realized you need help. I have waited 35 years to get help and it is very tough. Everyday it is a battle for me. I get real depressed from some personality disorders, and my judgement gets very skewed. The confusion, the sadness, the worries. It really sucks. Dont give up, I havent yet. Are you seeing a doctor or therapist? Keep posting here, it really helps. Take care. Mike |

Thank you all for your comments. I'm sure we will be hearing a lot more from me in the future...such a [censored] life. Are we allowed to swear here or is it frowned upon?

Your post is NOT pathetic, we (or most of us) deal with "Hell" almost on a daily basis, you kind of develop a "craft" over time (with patience and perserverance) in not letting it engulf you, sticking with a pdoc's care and a talk therapist can be the most useful tools in developing the power to not let it take you over.
Also, I want to correct you, besides not being "pathetic" you are NOT "selfish", you have a need to talk to others, and we are here, we try to offer support, sometimes some of us are caught in the web and can't always be productive in support, but when we can we try to offer it here at the forums, it is appreciated it greatly when we can support, but there is no obligation to have to  You are welcomed here to talk to us, maybe one of us or all of us can help you feel a little better or ofer some insight fromour own personal experiences. Take care now, DE In giving advice seek to help, not please your friend SOLON

Hi, I'm also new.
I can empathize a little with you. I am also 19 and I have battled with depression since I started grade school. I was, until recently, a student at the University of Alberta, but since I was spending most of my days in bed or waiting time in front of a computer or television screen and not in classes or looking at textbooks, I dropped out of school, although I was only a semester away from expulsion. Luckily, my parents both understood my situation, both having suffered from depression, and were willing to support me emotionally and financially for a few weeks before I went out looking for a job. Right now I am working 20-30hrs/week and will, if things do not go south in the mean time, enrol at a community college in September to once again attempt further education. Do not think you are not worth listening too, and believe that life will get better. Laura <font color=purple>A positive attitude will not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort  </font color=purple>
