Hi,
For over a year now i have been feeling unlike myself. I am a happy upbeat person and everybody knows me this way. But recently i have felt particularly down about everything. Last year my mum died and i know this is where it all started. Me and my mum were particularly close and i feel at a loss without her. To add to this not long after she passed away my dad started seeing his step sister, he knows i dont agree with this relationship, it feels like a betrayal of my mothers memory and we have drifted apart. i hardly see him anymore. So in effect in the space of a year i lost both my parents. I put on a brave face because I am scared people wont understand, and i dont want people to pity me. I have looked at the symptoms and though i am not experiencing all of them, i have quite a few of them. Earlier in the year i considered suicide, i started taking pills, but stopped myself for the sake of my grandparents. So in theory they are the only reason i am here writing to you. I dont feel like i can talk to anybody and cant see a way out.
Is what i am experiencing Depression?? And if so is there anything i can do without talking to anybody, as i dont feel i can.
Thank you.
