    • Close Depression
      : Clinical (Major) Depression

      I believe everything began when I was younger. I was closer to my papaw than I was to my parents. I spent most of my time with him. When I was six he passed away at his home and I was there. I felt as if my world was ripped apart and there were alot of things that I didn't understand then. I started to shut myself off from people because I didn't know who to handle it and noone talked to me. The older I got I began to feel like I wanted to die or that I wanted something bad to happen to me. I tried to talk to my mom about this in middle school but she blew it off. So I started to close off from people even more. I am the oldest of four kids so I was not the important one I had the responsiblities the others did not have. The older I got I just kept to myself. I had my famliy tease me about being overweight, and I began to believe that I was ugly. Everything that I have I've struggled for and my siblings have always excelled and I felt second rate to them. Then my grandmother and brother both became sick and I was the one who always had to take care of them. No matter what my life was unimportant. I tried once again in High School after all this happened to talk to my mom and she laughed about it and asked if I was depressed because we were poor. After that I completely shut down from everyone. Because I was important to anyone. I began to lie to my parents about having friends because it made them happy. I began living my life to make others happy. I felt that I would be better off dead. Then things got to where all of my parents problems I could blame on myself because I was born before my parents had even been married for a whole year. I felt that the world would be better off if I weren't in it. I decided that I wasn't allowed to be happy because my decsions weren't the ones my parents would make for me and they made me feel bad about my decsions because of it. So how can I be happy if I don't have any support.

      Treatments

      Writing Working / Worked
      It worked for awhile but it began to stop helping all of my poems come out to be self hating.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      I was happy but still had thoughts of suicide.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I have only had one friend who helped me and I cant talk to him anymore because I cant reach him. I tried to open up to ohters but they made me fell like I was being oh woe is me and having a pity party. So that officially stopped working.
