all i can say is be strong,go to church, pray, you have to have a positive support group, positive friends.
my grandpa raped his daughter (my aunt). he was crazy,he inturn made my dad crazy. my dad was married to my mom for 20 years. in that time he broke her arms, legs, fractured bones. he physically & mentally abused me and my other 3 siblings. that had a horrible effect on our childhood, adulthood, the relationships we get into, and how we treat our kids. for example my broher is abusive to his daughter calling her ugly, she inturn is sleeping with a lot of guys (which i did at her age) just to mask the pain.
ive been depressed for 18 years and i seen a therapist, taken prozac, have a support group. i know how it feels to want to die. my 13 year old son is my reason for living. then again i will live just to eat chinese food.
talking to a therapist, and being a round positive people helps.
no one can tell me how depressed they are as if i dont know how it feels, i do!
i dont care if it is chemical (hormonal imbalance). you have to want to get better, and want help. no one should be depressed for 18 years.
you have to get out of that house. your mother is part of why you feel the way you do.
