Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I'll start at the beginning.
1 1/2 years ago me and my girlfriend of 2 1/2 years broke up when she cheated on me. I've got strong guilt issues about this. The day after we broke up my grandfather that had been living with me for 6 months passed away.
I've had an abusive family and am constantly in fights with my dad. I've always been the blacksheep of the family. My dad and I aren't even on speaking terms and we live in the same house.
Recently two girls have acted attracted to me and I decided to try and approach them only for them both to completely ignore me and blow me off. They stare at me all the time in class and smile at me. One I even found out had a boyfriend. Rejection is one thing but they completely ignored me when I tried to get in contact with them.
I've got a history of drug abuse, I've been to rehab and I've got a bad habit of self medicating.I lost all my friends when I went to rehab and all my friends and the 2 1/2 year girlfriend of the time were not there to support me. I dropped all the druggie friends in an attempt to get clean. But now, I just don't care anymore whether the drugs kill me or not, I just want to be numb to everything. It's gotten to the point where I've begun to self medicate by drinking and now I've even turned to stealing prescription pain killers.
Now, I used to be extremely religious when i was younger but I'm completely non-religious now. I don't believe in an afterlife. I've become way too scientific and factual to be religious. I just don't know what to do, I don't care anymore and when I look in the mirror I hate what I see. I wish I was one of those people that got everything so easy... happiness, friends, a good family. I got dealt some pretty screwed up cards.
