I just want to talk to someone

I’ve dealing with depression for a long time now. I can’t really pin point to when it started but I do know what caused it. I grew up in a unstable household and from a young age I began to pick at things about myself and then I eventually started hating myself. I live with my grand-aunt and uncle and they are very old fashioned and don’t really believe in depression. When I told them how I was feeling, I always left with a feeling they didn’t care. It’s almost the same with my mom. It’s a lot to explain and I’m terrible with using my words but I’m desperate.

I survived the suicide I felt that nobody wanted me that it was not good at all, and then at that moment nobody knew that I was having depression, until the day they found out, attack my body, hurting me, took me to a clinic psychiatrist and well it was not served, there were so many medications that I did not see progress, because they prayed a lot for me, I approached God, I mean I went to a church, where God made me that miracle he did not give me that, I invite you to you approach him, or you pray a lot, you are not alone, you have more support from now on, although your family does not believe you God yes, because he will help you have faith ..

I think a lot of times people who have never felt depression don’t understand it at all. To an outsider, depression can seem like a choice. Like it’s our fault we feel this way. I’m sorry that your great-aunt and uncle seem to be not understanding. I’m not sure when my depression started either, but I know I’ve at least had it since I was 7, almost 8. Sometimes depression can be a very long battle. If you are an adult, I suggest you take yourself to see a psychiatrist and/or therapist to help you out. If you are not, maybe you could do some research to find out what is around you, and then ask your aunt and uncle about it while giving them the details you already figured out.
