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.
At five I was told I had an infection.
At six people bullied me for it.
At seven I started skipping school, using my infection as an excuse.
At eight I started bullying other's because I thought it would make me feel better.
At nine I stopped bullying others because I knew it was wrong.
At ten the only father i've ever known was gone, and that was so hard for me to understand.
At eleven I had a knife at my throat.
At twelve I started cutting myself, also got into alcohol and drugs.
At thirteen I started to try over dosing on pills several times, now addicted to cigerettes. Got raped, still into drugs and alcohol. Had a unhealthy relationship with my mother, was forced to hide in my closet many times. Was sometimes kicked out of my own apartment. Started to have a sex problem.
Which leaves me here at fourteen, almost fifteen; went clean for over half a year, then relapsed with cutting, cigerettes, and alcohol. For eight years I suffered from depression, soon to be nine. On to my seventh person, (With sex). My sex problem started after I was raped, months after. I have had sex with many people, and I'm not able to keep any long term relationships. My thing was either we have a sexual agreement, or not on at all. I'm trying to get better to get help, but it's so hard.
