No matter what i do, i hurt and hurt and hurt. I’ve been in therapy for a little over a year. I’m 16, and depression has quickly taken over 10 years of my life. I was 5 years old and a sad excuse of a man risked his marriage for a pathetic “fling” with a child. I was molested for a little over a year. I dont remember a lot but i do remember tht was a year tht changed all the rest to come. I’ve had severe depression ever since. And i’ve been on medication for about 6 or 7 months. NOTHING seems to help, i’ve tried all the coping skills yet death seems to be the only option.

i wont lie im 24 and its like my teenage anger just turns into adult anger. id like to say it gets better but it doesn’t. it kind of just changes. its like life is so much longer then we can even comprehend. hang in there. just look at this site. you might be alone physically but digitally every body’s thinking about offing them selves.
Death is never the only option. I was also sexually molested as a child. And being a guy I take it especially hard because guys are supposed to be strong and tough yet I have never felt more helpless in my life.you can’t think that killing yourself will help. You just gotta keep moving forward and can’t let what some pervert did to you ruin your life.
I KNOW HOW U FEEL
Despite the unfortunate experience you had of this dink taking advantage of you…try to see it with new eyes…His dysfunctional ways in hurting you also came from somewhere-he was hurt/molested/abused…… It’s a challenge and opportunity for you to peel the onion back and heal the viscious cycle.. The challenge is to turn lemons into gold, may not seem possible but that’s the goal for all of us who have had negative experiences…we’re meant to do the work (with someone good) to find out what really happened and not keep cycling the same attitude about it….in the end this guy is your teacher, as nuts as that sounds. Good luck.
