The reason for my latest depression is the aftermath of my last break-up and the rumors my two Exes spread about me, something that includes me harming them in physical and mental ways, and other profane things. Something that is all lies and is the total opposite of what I stand for... This has been breaking me down quite < lot over the past four or five months... People looking at me strange and laughing behind my back and shit like that has made this, my Senior year of High School close to one of my worst school years ever.

So today I had a mental breakdown...... After a long time of dark thoughts of cutting myself and even commenting Suicide I "finally" broke down... I was scared my the thoughts and I sent depressing texts to my Mum and dad. Texts that including me saying stuff like "I want to give up" and "What does my miserable life matter to anyone?" and stuff like that...
My Mum reacted all serious and professional as a Psychologist should, but my dad... Well he came home and rushed up to my room. I've never seen him so scared, and worse is: I've never seen him cry... I've just been talking about my many issues and stuff with them for the past two or so hours. And I feel a little better, the thoughts of suicide is gone and I'm halfly relaxed.

So yeah....

:( Huggles for Sid.

Not judging your parents or anything but personally I find the type of reaction your dad had to be more helpful in my experience. I got so fed up with people telling me the same stuff over and over: "people care about you", "you're not worthless", "your life does have meaning". They all sounded like more fake bullshit. It's when you see you have enough of an impact on someone that the idea of you being gone scares them that much that you finally start to feel a bit more like maybe you actually do mean something to someone. Perhaps it's selfish to want to see someone cry over me but sometimes displays of raw emotion seem to be the only thing that's real.

Alright Velitie told me to do this so forgive me if it's a tad random
Why I have a Girlfriend and how it works: My Girlfriend and I are both mutually attracted to each but being some-what young (me 15 and her 14) we decided to keep it to a minimum with physical contact (cheek kisses and huggles only). Why we got together was because we are both depressed and we both need someone to confide in how we feel (more so than when we confide with our parents) and we both like the same things. We are helping each other out and supporting each other. That's pretty much it.

Well folks, I know I'm not really known here, I check the forums etc but I rarely post. But here I am, finding the "you" forum and I felt that it might be an interesting thing for me to respond to.

Anyway, here goes:

My name is Ross, I'm 22 years old, a student, and from Scotland. Now I'm just going to keep this pretty general otherwise I'll be writing novel length stuff..
I was born in Glasgow, where I lived for 4 years, before returning to my mothers home, in the NW of Scotland, so that I could be raised in a Gaelic culture, I was raised bi-lingually, my mother speaking Gaelic, my father English, but they wished for me to develop and associate with the strong Gaelic culutre. I had lived on the Isle of Skye, a small Island, for all the years up until Uni, and I have to say it has instilled in me a fierce and all consuming love of my homeland, and culture. Gaelic now being a minority language, and in a difficult situation with regards to its survival, I felt obliged, as an educated Gael and Scotsman, that I should make Gaelic my calling, thus I toddled off to Uni to study Gaelic. Now, you might think.. why study Gaelic at Uni when you are already fluent? Well, it is much alike any degree you would do: Consisting of Literature, culture, song, Phonetics, linguisitics etc - ofc it's a languagey degree, but it's relative open, incorporating history and social studies as well - all of which I study through the medium of Gaelic.

Now one of the reasons I posted here, was that one of Sinovera's videos, in which she discussed her depression, really struck home with me. Through a lack of opportunity where I am from, a small community, little or no jobs, little or no opportunity for education, I was forced to move to the South of the country, a 7 hour journey away - one which is so expensive that I can't much afford to make it home very often, where the main Universities are.

1st year of Uni was quality - I got drunk all the time, I was out meeting new people, I was in a city, a whole new world, as it were, was opened up to me - and of course, the independence of living alone etc - was great - and was enough to keep me going. I, like Sinovera, did extremely well from the 1st semester exams and was also extremely proud of my achievements. Then.. out of nowhere, my grandmother was killed by some guy who driving a lorry, pretty much on the wrongside of the road (no idea why as I couldn't bring myself to go to the trial and have deliberately kept myself from details) and shortly after this, my cousin who had been living with us, lost his girlfriend to a similar incident.

Now, last year, I dropped out of Uni as I couldn't cope, my mother tried to kill herself as she is an alcoholic and struggles with the difficulties my family has faced, she's already lived through 2 of her own brother's death, as well as countless friends etc

So I was at home, and it was awful. Living with an alcoholic is pretty much the worst thing ever. The person you live is not the same person.. (if that makes sense) my mum would smash our kiddy photos - threw away her wedding ring, tried to burn the house down - etc just pretty extreme destructive behaviour.

We got her in to a program though, and for a while it felt like everything would be ok.. so I came back to Uni.. so.. I was nervous as fuck being back at uni, and I was extremely lacking in confidence. I was no younger the arrogant and brilliant student I had been, but timid and cautious and full of doubt.

Exam time came, 6 exams, a few days before the 1st - BAM - I have a full blown seizure.. couple days later BAM - happens again.. only this time I wake up in hospital.. to cut a long story short, I ended up having to miss all my exams, and lost my driving license with a diagnosis of epilepsy.

So with that said, I'm at the stage where I should be graduating this year..but im back in Uni doing my 3rd year, meaning I wont graduate for another year after this.. and what's better, I've already missed 5 weeks of the 1st 12 week semester after my mother again tried to kill herself.

So that seems to be alot of what is bothering me at the moment, sorry for the sudden outpouring. It was medicinal for me to just get it out where I know people can see.

Edit: I did have some sort of aim when writing this but it has vanished from my mind, again, please excuse the outpouring up there folks.

Cheers folks,
Ross

This is the story of a gir-

Wait, that's not quite right.

I'll try to keep this concise. I have lurked here for a little while and have decided to finally post in here. So here goes!

My name is Dionna and I was born and raised in San Diego, California. Land of the Golden Sun! (Hee.) I'm 27, turning 28 in February. I'm married, have a 2 year old and..hm... what else. I have a sister too. She's 5 years younger than I am.

I do suffer from depression, but I try not to let it conquer my life everyday. I've had it since I was 12 or so and it's been a long uphill battle but, I'm in a better place now. :) It was around then that I discovered the wonderful world of the internet, and it's been a part of my life ever since.

I'm pretty nerdy/geeky. I like to roleplay, and play video games, and that has been one way I've been able to cope all these years. Some times are worse than others (like during the winter time... :/ ) but I still trudge on.

I went to an immersion school when I was younger (so, instead of everything being taught in english, everything was taught in a language (for me, french) and english was a separate class) and took A.P. french 3 times, though never actually took the exam. By Junior Year, I was fed up with life and with the abuse I was getting, but it would still take me a few more years to completely re-write my life and grow into the person I am today.

Now, I go to conventions and roleplay, and offer support to my favorite local band, Steam Powered Giraffe. PM me if you want to hear about them since I could probably fill pages upon pages about how nice/awesome they are. :D Or, you can google them and see for yourself. ;)

Anyway, I guess that's it. I'm currently just about to start the semester after taking a year off of school to focus on my baby. I'm also helping out at a convention my husband and I started... this will be it's third year. I'm intrigued to see how things go.

Anyway... I guess that's it. Just living, and drawing, and writing, and watching LPs. It's all gravy :D
