my name is kat. i’m 17, and i’m on this site because I feel like..
I have nowhere to turn anymore. clinical depression never get easier. i’m so young, I have so much to live for. but, depression drains you. Emotionally and physically. I spend my days on the couch thinking. that’s all. just thinking. when you have all the time in the world, you get lost in your mind.
when your mind is as tired as mine, you go mad.
insane.
the medication makes no difference. what I need is support. i feel too weak to give myself enough the push I need to get better.
the thing with depression is, it sucks the life out of the people around you too. I don’t mean to.. honestly..
I can’t be the only one who feels this way. there needs to be a person looking for support like I am.
I can’t lose my hope.

I can only assume you are going through similar things as I am, I don’t know why but today I feel more like helping people than just sitting around so I hope I can maybe get you to feel better. My anxiety and depression paralysis is a huge drain on my life. Imagine how much more things I could be doing if I didn’t have this problem! But don’t give up, you are young. When I was your age, although I was a good student in school I was absolutely suicidal every day wanting to die, and unable to do anything on my own. Once I left home, I quickly quit everything, and pretty much was unable to function for a long time (I still have this problem) My parents were HARVARD GRADUATES for petes sake, and here I AM, a total waste of space! (but its NOT TRUE!) I am older and I can tell you that the problem won’t go away, but you will find more solutions to the problem that allow you more creativity and balance and fullness in your life with time. It isn’t easy, but you must be easy on yourself! Please do that for me. I have a sister close to your age she has ADD, depression and Aspergers. I’m in my mid twenties, I have PTSD, depression and probably bipolar 2. I can’t say it will go away, but if you WANT TO (REALLY WANT TO) it will get better. Be kind, if you cannot reach the goals or expectations you wanted, so what that is life. My sister never got her GED, she works at Safeway. So what? I am a continual disappointment to my over-educated parents, but I know that I am trying my best, and I often spend days and weeks doing nothing at all
well i’m glad somebody else can relate. makes me feel less alone that way.
I won’t give up. I will have my life back. thank you, honestly, for taking time out of your life to reach out to me.
