Depression and trouble eating Posted: 02-09-08 17:04pm
Okay so I am 17 years old and am a senior
in high school. I have been battling
through depression since i was 7. My real
dad used to abuse me and I have been raped
numerously by my uncle who is alot older
than me. my mom remarried when i was 7 and
this man adopted me. I have grown up with
several different psychiatrists and
counselors and i have gone through several
meds for depression. I have been cutting
for 4 years (since i started high school)
and have had to go to the emergency room
twice for it. I actually was taken by one
of my teachers the first time. But now I
am having trouble eating food. Like I used
to eat alot and not i am lucky if I eat
once a day. Everybody gives me caca for it
which makes me even more depressed and I
feel like I have nobody to talk to. what
should I do about all of this? I mean, I
have told my grandma and my mom before but
I feel like nobody believes me about my
uncle because he has special needs and
they wont do anything about it! He is
stronger than me and says he will hurt me
more if I say anything!
Any advice will be very appreciated...

Have you thought about the possibility of
checking yourself into a hospital or
recovery program for people struggling
with things? It's good that you have
tried out psychiatrists and medication,
and I am sorry that none of them have been
helping you out. It seems like you have
dealt with a lot over the years. I know
it must be really hard on you, and its
understandable that you feel so down.
You have to sit down and have a serious
convo with your mom/grandma and tell them
that you aren't kidding around and want to
get some help.
You said that your ucle rapes you, but
nobody believes you. The next time that
this happens (god forbid there is a next),
call the police immediately afterwards.
They will be able to get DNA from your
body to hold it against him for proof that
this occurs. I know it sounds scary, but
you really need to get him locked up if he
is doing this to you. who knows who else
he might be doing it too. Rape is a
terrible thing, and you should report this
ASAP.
Hang in there. I hope you find the
strength to get through all of these
terrible things you are being put through.
I can relate to you in some ways(I have
been molested, and I suffered from
depression for many years). If you need
anyone to talk to, PM me any time.
