Hi. I'm K. I'm 16, I'm new here, just joined last night. I'm in a few groups and just wanted to introduce myself.


I was diagnosed with depression about 3 years ago. Sometimes I feel okay, most of the time I don't. I'm supposed to be in school right now but my parents let me stay home because I felt pretty awful last night. Stress and insecurity and sleep deprivation.. everything mixed together definitely not a picnic. I'm on an anti depressant rn, it's really for my tics but it's not helping much with either lmao 


Anyways, just wanted to say hi.. maybe make a few new friends? hmu if anyone wants to talk ^^

Hi K, welcome to this group. You will find a lot of people who you can relate to. I am sorry to hear that you are feeling this way. I have struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a child. Feel free to message me if you want to talk. Does your doctor know that your medication is not working? You or your mom should let the doctor know because sometimes the medications and dosages need to be changed. I hope you feel better soon.

Hiya. I'm new on here too. I come on when I can. I haven't been diagnosed or anything CZ my mother says I'm "fine", but I believe I have mild depression and emotional deprivation. You got music in your name like me so we could prolly share new stuff with each other. I have no idea if a reply is just fine but I'll message too CZ of the "hmu".

Hi K! I remember feeling the exact same way from K-11 grade(graduated a year early to get out of that hell hole). I always missed the first day of school because if get so anxious to the point I'd be throwing up and have horrible pains in my stomach. Growing up is tough especially when going through the "awkward years". I'm 28 and have PTSD from not taking control of those traumatic episodes growing up :( Anywho, I'm here if you need someone to talk to! Welcome :)

I can relate to a lot that you said in your post. Nothing is worse than lying in bed all night watching the clock just trying to get any kind of sleep possible. I have been really depressed and just can't find the strength to do anything lately. I just tell people that I'm sick so they will leave me alone. Not to mention that I don't even want to face my boss and listen to her go off on me about not being at work this week. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone if you ever need someone to talk to.
