I sank into a horible atate around two years ago when my dad passed away and my mum was quiet ill. It felt like i had lost everything and i was only 18 years old. I had just started uni and everything was going wrong.

I felt shocked at first then angry at the doctors and then at my self. However i only remember crying three times mainly because i was incapableof crying. It felt like i needed to cry but i couldnt. Slowly depression set in. I stoped going out, talking to friends and going to work. I cut off every one who was close to me one way or another to minimise the hurt and pain.

I wouldnt get out of bed, always feel agitated and down and always worryied about what people thought of me. I wne tto the Doctor and told him i was feeling like ending it all and he put me on anti depressants (cytalapram) I must say they didnt help this hopeless feeling and i didnt take no more afterthe third month of nothing. Some people say it makes them feel better othere say it dosent touch them and some have bad lows with them.

Slowly however the days went by and i found new things to ocupy my mind such as work and friendS and uni again and the year past buy. Christmas and farthers day still hurts but the best advice is it doesnt get easyier in time it just sinks in a little more. And the depression slowly faded for me. Just try to think positive.

Summary: Always think poitive and talk to people it helps
