This is my story. In the 16 years I have been alive, I have dealt with my parents divorcing, twice. Being the left out little sister. Gaining two little sisters, and losing them 6 years later. Gaining a stepbrother, and getting a step mother, who makes me feel incredibly unwelcome in my own home. My mother had breast cancer when I was 4, but thankfully survived. Although, she wishes she hadn’t. I have moved to 5 different towns, and now live back in my hometown. I recently moved out of my mother’s after she kicked me out. She had cut herself over her ex boyfriend then began dating him again. Was I really expected to be supportive? Apparently, so. The night she kicked me out, I texted her saying “I love you so much”. Her response was “Don’t contact me again.” I now live with my father, his wife, and my stepbrother. My father is very religious. If I told him about my depression, he would try and send me to christian counseling, because he doesn’t believe in depression or regular therapy. Don’t get me wrong, I believe the same faith as him, just not as strongly. If there is a god out there, why hasn’t he answered any of my prayers? In 2012 alone, I lost four of my friends. Two to suicide, one to a car accident, and one to leukemia. Even today, unless I am visiting their individual graves, the thought of them being gone seems unreal. I hide away in my room every day after school, until I go to bed. I find myself having thoughts about death very often. I think about ways to die, the process, what happens after, there are endless possibilities. But in the end, none of it really makes sense. I always end up feeling like a person who has lost their mind. I know I do not have the willpower to actually commit suicide, especially after attending two suicidal friends’ funerals. I can not hurt my few friends like that. This is just a summary, but I am selfishly dissatisfied with my life. I hate myself more and more each day. I don’t know what I can do at this point, and I strongly wish I was gone. Dead. Away from here. I have grown to be very independent, but I’ve lost control. I need help. Anyone?

You understand how hurting yourself can hurt others too. If you are feeling the loss of your friends so greatly then you know what would happen to your friends if they lose you.
Depression can effect a lot of things in your life but not holding it all inside and talking about it can relieve some of the sadness.
Take care.
