I have been depressed for most of my life and just started getting treatment for it in 2005 when I had a mental breakdown and had to be put in the hospital. I have been on my meds for alittle over two years but I recently stopped taking them. I am back on them now but I am having a very hard time right now. As soon as I got back on my meds. I found out that my biological father who has not been apart of my life wants to come back and be my father. It brought up so many emotions that I had held back up until this point. Feeling of self hate that I never knew where they came from. It all came flooding back. Now I call my mental health center almost everyday. Just needing someone to talk to. SOmeone to bounce ideas off of. I used to cut myself before and to be honest I have been close to doing it again. I don't know what to do. I have a sonto take care of and this depression is just taking over everything.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse.

You have EVERY right to feel the way you do. You pain is very valid
Hes made contact with you and he's probably expecting some tough conversations, I'm sure he must realise that yo have questions to ask and feelings to share.
And think about your son he needs you well and happy.
If you feel the need to cut get on here their are always people here, you can pass the time until the feelings have passed.x
And if you do decide to connect with him again, you have every right to tell him when you are overwhelmed, and to control how often and how long you spend time with him. If he is truly regarding you as well as himself, he will respect that.
Also, you might want to consider asking him to see a therapist with you. A good mediator can work wonders to help you deal with painful things.
