I’m a 17 year old senior in high school and I know I’ve been struggling from severe depression for years. I’ve had a lot of struggles ranging everywhere from not having friends, to seeing my parents and loved ones suffer, and etc.
It’s hard to be the person I am because everyone views me as one of the happiest people in the world. Most of the time I am, but every now and then, I break down when alone and just cry out all the weight I have to carry.
I don’t really like to bore people with long or self pitying stories but I just wanted to get it out again before I have to deal with the one year anniversary of my uncles suicide. Just talking with someone would be cool, since the friends I usually talk to about this are busy with their one lives.
Love and peace.

Hello,
I just wanted to know which psychiatric drug that your uncle was on when he committed suicide?
I would just like to warn you that many of the pharmaceutical companies are actually getting sued and shutting down as suicide and homicides are becoming more prevalent when taking these drugs to treat depression or other mental illnesses. Please look into it, as if you do your research you’ll see the research that goes into it and you will be surprised.

I know how you feel, Justin. My friends say they care, but usually seem to busy with their own stuff to bother listening. If you need someone to talk to, I’d be more than happy to be that person. We can be each other’s sounding boards. It’s so much easier to face the dark with a hand to hold.
I have a lot of problems myself. Ranging from family, to my physical health, to not having comrades to whatever. Its easy for someone who isn’t depressed to say “everyone has their battles”. But what about when your battles aren’t fair? What about when they’re are too many? What if you did nothing to deserve some of these battles? What if you’re fighting against an enemy thats stronger than you? I don’t have any answers myself but I do know how you feel.
Hi Justine. Thank you for sharing. I don’t have anything optimistic to say. I can only say that you are not alone!
I feel your pain Justine. Take care.
for the past 2 monthes, Ive been havoing extreme pains usually situated around my chest area and back. Went through a million tests (thinking i was having a heart attack). All cameout negative. My family docotr finally said it was due to anxiety. thing is im the least nervous person on this planet. the pains come now and then, but I ALWAYS have this unrelenting “air bubble” in my chest area. Its like something needs to come out.
I due get panic attacks every now and then when I have to meet up with family or large groups of people and Ill usually wont end up going out. I know its affecting my wife because shes tryign to understand what im going through. I was a pretty relaxed person before this and now I feel liek everything is falling apart.
