I’m very embarrassed to say anything about how i’m feeling. I’m very nervous when i have to tell someone how i feel. I have the feeling that i’m burdening someone with my problems. I feel hopeless and empty. My name is Lora and i’m 19. I suffer from depression. That’s why i started seeing a psychologist. I did a few tests and the results said that i do have depression but my psychologist thinks that it is not depression, that it’s a just part of puberty and that it will pass. I haven’t told him about my suicidal thoughts and about my acts of self-harm cause i’m embarrassed. I haven’t told my parents. I don’t want to tell them cause they won’t take it seriously. I’ve been constantly having fights with them ever since i remember. I hate them so much cause they doesn’t let me do anything. I can’t go out cause it’s dangerous, i can’t wear black cause it look as if someone in my family died, i can’t dye my hair cause they will feel embarrassed about it, i haven’t entered university cause they didn’t want to let me go and live on my own. They didn’t let me pierce my ears but i pierced them without them knowing. When my mother found out she was so mad that she didn’t want to talk to me. I can’t even make a stupid decision by myself. Whenever i have to make a decision i have a feeling that i’m going to fuck up my life for good and regrett it till the end of my life. I want someone to help me. I want to cry everything out and have someone hug me but that is never going to happen. I have so much on my mind that i feel like i’m drowning, i can’t breath. I feel so mad. I really want to die and end everything cause it’s driving me mad.

I have the same issues but I’m a little older than you. I’m 32. If you need someone to listen to I’m here. My name is Mark. Are you in the US?
Thanks. Nope, i’m from Serbia.
Sorry to hear that you are depressed at the age of 19. It seems like you have very controlling parents, that are enabling you. Hope that you can overcome this time, to become a successful adult.
You can email me at leonardfamily2008@gmail.com if you want to talk
Thanks a lot. Honestly, i didn’t expect these comments. They put a smile on my face to know that someone out there understands 🙂
I understand. Take good care today and do something that makes your heart a little lighter today. Believe in yourself. You are a valuable person. Be proud of who you are always.
