Hello.

Hello, I'm a new member (have to repost this, because I sent it the wrong way I think and it erased what I just wrote) thats my luck it just figures..lets see if I can remember what I just typed..

I'm Depressed at the moment, I'm 19 going on 20 in 10 days. Heres a little bit of my background life, I was really close to my dad, until he got sent to prison for 6 years, sure doesn't sound all that long. but everyday that goes by, its so slow, and it really is along time if you think about it. He ment a lot to me, helped me with my homework, helped me get good grades always there when you needed someone. Sense he was in prison couldn't see me graduate that was real painful. My mom works 2 jobs Or was for awhile, couldn't see her when I was at school..it was wake up, go to school, come home, all alone in a big house. Some days where a lot harder than others thats for sure.

Had to go therapy for all that, it was in the courts best interest...so went to therapy for 9 whole months, let me tell ya..No one should go through that. 2 hours a day..twice a week..for 9months, nearly went insane. Only problem was she wasn't good, I was assigned to her, I couldn't say anything because it was being recored by the court system..

But over that now which is good. Just trying to hang in there for the most part. Well sense I am writing this might as well through in..that's just my family life, next would be my girlfriend relationship life. Known her for a year, it was great, wonderful, then one day she ended it. She moved on 3 days...I can't move on, its been over a year now. thats depession for ya. but thats about it well Thanks for taking time out of your life to read this.

welcome to psychcentral, Randy. Just wanted to offer my support. I'm so sorry about you not having your dad in your life or so long.

I'm sorry about your dad, Randy, and that you arelonely and hurting. I hope you will find sme comfort here.

Welcome to PC I am so sorry about your dad. That must be such a hard time for you. Six years is a long time and it has even effected your mothers work schedule and time to be with you.

I am sorry that you had a bad experience in the mental health field but they are not all like that. There are some very talented caring t out there. If your girlfriend leaving is causing you so much distress would you consider finding one of your likiing? It may be good to work through some of your feelings and you don't have to worry about the court system any more.

I hope you find someone and feel free to post here if it helps. Welcome again.

hi

im sorry about what you're going through.. it must have been hard not having your dad at your graduation, i would have gone crazy if my dad wouldn't have been there for mine..

the girlfriend thing,, i know how you feel..
i dated someone for a couple of months, he left, moved on, but i just couldn't, even after a year had passed.. if she moved on so quickly, she must have not valued you, and you don't need someone like that in your life..

good luck with everything, pm me if ya want..
