Hi , um its my first time here ... I felt like I needed to talk to or listen to someone who's going through depression too ... But reading all these made me feel like I shouldn't be this way ... I'm only 17 with a major depressive disorder and little to know friend ... It all started as far as I can remeber ... I have both my parents no grandpas one healthy grandma ... My other grandma is currently dying from MS (Multiple sclrosis) and she's only 67 ... My best friend died several years ago by drowning in a lake I was 14 ... And the last person she talked to ... My Great Grandma who was also another best friend died as well a few months later ... After that my childhood cat (I know its stupid but she was my life pretty much) died ... So within 1 year I lost it all ... Ill admit I spend most of my time alone ... I don't have a lot of friends ... I have only a few and none understand my depression ... Another friend who use to be best friends with me blew up at me and said he wants nothing to do with me ... Another one of my "bestfriend" who said she had depression accused me of a lot of things and is in the process of ruining my life ... I feel like I don't have a mother because she acts more like sister than anything ... I've found I'm only truely happy when imwith my horse that I'm no longer allowed to ride due to bad knees ... Everyday is just a struggle to get through the day! I wake up put on a fake smile come home and cry ... And honestly I don't know what to do anymore ... Can anyone help me?
