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'm sorry you feel trapped in your life, and controlled by your parents. I know that feeling. I wasn't beaten, but I had very strict parents. I read your journals and I'm really sorry to hear about what you've gone through.
I urge you to try to reach out to a service agency to help you in finding help from your current home situation. Every day that we wait to get help is one day lost to being happier on the inside. I hope you find the opportunity, the strength and the people and resources that will help you move toward healing and happiness.
