Open Depression

I have experienced a great amount of abuse and family disorder through my life and it's rendered me perpetually depressed.

Treatments

Meditation Not Working

I can't clear my mind long enough to successfully meditate so I just become anxious while I sit. After a while I can't take it anymore and I have to move on.

Positive Thinking Not Working

Part of me thinks that I am capable of being an optimistic person however I'm not becoming happier and my friends are telling me that I am a negative person so my positive thinking must not be going far enough.

Psychotherapy Not Working

So far it didn't work at all. I went fo 5 sessions before my Psychologist pretty much told me that I am a hard-case and that she couldn't help me. She referred me to some other clinic but I cannot afford the sessions.

Support from Friends & Family Not Working

I don't feel like I can talk to ANYONE. My boyfriend is out of the question because I don't think It'd be healthy to talk to him about certain things, and my three closest friends have too many issues of their own to deal with I know that every time I open my mouth I just add additional anxiety and stress to their lives.

Writing Somewhat Helpful

I've become a religious journaler! I write in a journal and I additionally write letters to people I have gripes with, with the plan to NEVER deliver the letters. This has been sort of helpful.

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

Father severely neglected my family. Don't understand his intentions 4 doing things but he would make me feel like things eating and having the things that we needed were privileges IF I deserved them. Majority of the direct abuse in my life actually came from my aunt (lived with my fam most of my life). She's the reason I get physically sick every time I hear someone say, "Nigger". She & my mom have both hit me.
