...See more Hi there everyone! Trying to stay annonymous as possible, just call me Bre (Breeze, get it?)! I am 19 years old, and I have been struggling with depression for as long as I can remember. It was never diagnosed until recently by a social worker. Phychologists, therapists and councilers are both amazing professions, but I don't seem to ever have luck with them. The ones I have spoken to have either 1.) Told me I was crazy, or too "young" to feel this way 2.) Told me to come back at a later date because my case wasn't serious enough 3.) Just didn't work out because of money/personal connection struggles I haven't had much of a supportive group of people behind me either. My family does not believe in the mental health stigma, and people have left me once they realize how bad I am, and I am a burden to them (not assumptions, actual words). I have been trying to get some support system or some understanding why I feel the way I do, or therefore lack of feel. I felt like I exausted my options, but here I am. My general well-being has suffered, and the relationships around me have also significantly suffered. I lost touch with so many people. I've lived in a horde of a mess since as long as I can remember because I can't bring myself to clean my surroundings. Only recently, things got much worse. I've been at a low recently, where I am embarassed to admit, that I can't even shower properly anymore. I stopped showing up to my job, university, and much more. My hygine got really bad. My grades suffered this semester, but I was lucky to pass with C's even. My significant other has tried to convince me to go seek help for so long, but I haven't found someone yet that hasn't denied me or my emotions. I don't want to focus on the negatives on my life, but what's probably important to know is that most of my relationships have only been abusive. Family, friends, and romantic relationships. In general, there has been physical abuse, sexual harrasment, emotional degradement and dependencies built off of those. I understand now how horrible of an enviroment for me to grow up in was, but I was blind to a lot of it for so long. I know this forum isn't the answer to my problems, but I know it will help me get back on the right path. I'm looking forward to the road ahead for learning, healing and coping. ​​I just need a support system, and I hope you guys welcome me into your community. I can't wait to get to know you all better while we're on this journey together.
