Hey, I'm a 17 year old guy, depressed since December of last year for reason both obvious and non-obvious.

Right now, I only want to start the conversation and not start venting right off the bat. I'm studying to become a doctor in India.

Wow, a doctor in India sounds like an amazing career choice. Hopefully this goal will help lift you out of the depression.

I have battled depression all my life but the worst of it has been the last 25 years. I have been coming here to DS for many years and have gotten a lot of help here and made some good friends.

I hope you can feel comfortable enough to share here what you are going through. People here understand and are very supportive.

    Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway.
