    • About Me

      I am 26 and married. Been depressed awhile. I have a younger sister with disabilities that i dont see anymore due to her father. It has effected me quite a bit. I work full time in accounting, and love to have my free time alone. I love sipping on wine at home :)

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have gone through Depression my whole life. I had a horrible father and a supportive mother, a sister with disabilities that i am 'no longer allowed to see' according to her dad. My husband and i have communication problems, and we dont have much money so we dont get out much. That kindof sums it up. Losing my sister has been hard, and my mom lives out of the area. As well as both of my best friends.
