I can't stop crying. It's been going on for about 2 months now. Today's my twentieth birthday. I've been crying on and off all day. I don't know why. It won't stop. It's happening all the time. I'll be sitting watching a film with my family and I'll get up and excuse myself to my room so I can cry for a couple minutes then go back out and finish watching the film with them. I can't seem... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/148798/don-anymore http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/132838/courageous Sat, 26 Feb 2011 13:15:51 -0500 kate Recently, a friend of mine told me I had courage. I had told him how I was considering seeking therapy. When he questioned why, I told him that it was because of my past. He said that by admitting I need to talk to someone and seeking out help takes courage. A previous time was when I had told him I left my home life with my dad because the circumstances were not good. I didn't explain to him just how bad things were though. I still can't bring... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/132838/courageous http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/132409/time Mon, 21 Feb 2011 16:49:31 -0500 kate I think it's time for me to finally get my whole story off my chest. I'm sorry, but it may be a tad bit long. However, I can't bring myself to see a therapist yet, so I'll just do this for now.   I guess I'll just start off with a bit about myself. I'm currently 19 and attending a university. My mother and father divorced when I was about 8 months old. My mother remarried when I was two years old. My mother and father did shared custody... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/132409/time http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/130853/back Thu, 03 Feb 2011 18:03:05 -0500 kate It has been quite a long time since I have been on here...A lot has changed. I'm in college. I'm finally away from my family and my hometown and it feels good. My roommate is great and very goofy, like me. Things were going great for a while, but then things just started going wrong and it feels as if it's a domino effect. I started dating this guy and eventually I lost my virginity to him. A short time later he started discovering things from... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/130853/back http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/104912/it-been-while Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:29:37 -0500 kate It's been quite a while since I first wrote. I felt pretty good for a while. Things were going good. I turned 18 and had one of the best birthdays I've ever had. It seemed like I wasn't depressed anymore. I kept myself busy and surrounded by people. Between school and work and college plans I just didn't have the time to stop and think about anything else. I just made myself smile and ignore the sadness within. I don't know what happened. I took... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/104912/it-been-while http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/98207/trial-run Sun, 13 Dec 2009 15:19:41 -0500 kate I don't really know why i'm doing this. I guess i just feel like i need to try something. My name is kate and i'm 17 and I think i'm suffering from depression. I don't want to go to the doctor. I can't talk about it with family or friends. I told my mother about how I felt a couple of years ago. She sent me to therapy. It didn't help. I just felt embarrassed and more alone. The therapy only lasted a few weeks and then my mother and stepfather... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/447757/98207/trial-run
