Hello, I'm New Here. Posted: 10-18-06 09:57am
Well to start off with, I have been
depressed for about 4-5 years. I am 16,
almost 17. I developed anorexia and
bulimia when I was 12, almost 13. My 7th
grade year when I was 12-13, my dad went
on disability for a neurological disorder.
He worked as a chemical engineer in
louisiana for 26 years at the same
company. They automatically started
sending him a pinchin check since it takes
a while to get the disability. We were
doing okay for a while then. I did have
to quit gymnastics and dance though. By
8th grade year we had started getting the
disability. They forgot to stop sending
the pinchin check, so we were getting
both. Well, your not supposed to get
both. Metlife found this out and
cancelled half our disability. We were
living on just social security disability.
Well everything started going downhill
after that. I also have a sister by the
way, so that's 4 of us! We went 3 months
without electricity. We had been trying
to move for years. We decided we would do
okay if we sold our pretty big and nice
house. And moved into an apartment to
save more money. So we moved to texas
that summer. We moved into an apartment
and everything before we were sure we were
gonna sell our house. We had a realtor
and everything. We were about to sell the
house. Then all of a sudden at christmas
time metlife took the money we were gonna
get from oue house. So we could pay them
back for their mistake about the pinchin
and whatnot. We got evicted from our
apartment. We dicided to head to the
midwest in missouri where my mom has
family. A month after we got there, my
grandmother died. We lived in a hotel
room for over 2 months. Those were the
longest 2 months of my life! I came close
to suicide. My moms family wouldn't help
us. We finally moved into this tiny
resort/cottage/apartment/trailer weird
thang. I went to school when the school
year started. My eating disorder got
worse. I would go six days without
eating. But I was alot prettier at least.
I was on dance team and got a boyfriend,
so overall my life was improving. In
november I took an entire bottle of
ibuprophen. I took half one night, and
the other the next. I went to the
hospital and thankfully I was okay. The
next few months didn't really get better.
I dropped out of school towards the end of
the year.
This summer I mostly stopped my eating
disorders and gained 20 pounds. Gaining
that much weight just made me wanna die.
I hardly went anywhere. And since then
i've been the most depressed I have ever
been.
I'm not in school right now. I actually
tried to go back but they said i'm just
way too behind. I feel like such a
failure.
We are still living in this tiny dump.
Let me explain how bad it is. It's about
the size of a classroom. There are 2
bedrooms. I share with my sister, kinda.
It's so small it can only fit one bed. It
also has no a/c in there. So I sleep on a
twin mattress on the floor in the "living"
room. Nobody can really get any sleep
here. I never write anymore, since I
never have any peace or privacy. We
aren't really even a family anymore.
I've gotten to the point where I don't
even know what is real anymore. The days
aren't even days. I'm indifferent alot of
the time. It takes alot to amuse or
excite me. I'm probably the most cynical
person you will ever meet. I'm also very
sarcastic about everything. I guess it's
my way of coping. I don't have any real
friends anymore. I'm too depressed to
even go get a job. I feel sick all of the
time. I'm stressed. It stressed me out
to event think about getting out of bed.
I see the world as a place with a bunch of
selfish, greedy, and ignorant suckers.
All people care about is money and power.
I am also very ugly. I hate myself so
much I didn't know hate this strong could
exist. Now that I am fat, well hell, that
just ices the cake! I can't look in the
mirror without sweating with hate or
crying.
Well thats a summary of my life. I'm
sorry I wasted your time.

You say you're too depressed to get a job.
You're depresed because you don't get a
job. You're pretty much an adult, go make
some moeny and move out. Having a job
gives you a sense of purpose and some
structure in your life, somewhere to go,
something to do, something to replace
sitting around feeling sorry for
yourself.
Finish school online or by correspondence.

Also, I can think of the perfect book you
should read. It's called
"shut up, quit whining, and get a life" by
larry winget. It would probably help you
out a bit.

Another thing is that I don't have a car.
When my moms at work, how can she take
me??
Did you even read all the caca I have been
through? I usually don't whine, I just
become indifferent to everything. But
caca adds up at the bottom problem.

Welcome! We are all not arseholes and
greedy, yes, you do sound very depressed
but I am not a dr that can diagnose you,
it is just my feeling because I really do
not know you. I doubt that you are ugly
and obese and if you are you can exercise.
Have you thought of going to mental
health in your area and please, don't take
me wrong, I am not trying to say that you
are crazy, I am just saying that maybe you
might need some help and there is nothing
wrong with that, we pretty much all need
some help at one time in our lives, they
might be able to help you or send you
someplace where you can get the help that
you need and their is nothing to be
ashamed of! I became disabled not too
long ago do to a neuro situation where I
got to the point where I could not walk or
do hardly anything but I still keep trying
even though I do live with pain and I fall
alot and it is depressing but I cannot let
it get me down. I have to keep moving, it
is not easy but I have to do it. You can
do something too, it will not be easy,
life never is!
I wish you the best!
Keep in touch!
We are here for you!
