Help me please

[Lily]

I came to this sight because...nothing intrests me anymore. Writing used to come to me so easily, now I can't even keep up in school. I feel like everyone is just staring at me. People tease me and I tend not to take notice. I can't do anything but space out and wish I was someone else. My friends don't understand, my family isn't one to talk to and I've been crying at the drop of a hat. I don't cry. It's not natural, I never cry. All of a sudden there's this huge gouge inside of me and nothing can fill it. I'm seeing a shrink tomorrow, but I'm afraid he'll talk to my family...I can't bear to have my sister in pity...Guess that was more of a vent than a question, wasn't it?[|)] Thanks, though.

Hi Lily

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you are having a tough time at present. The feelings you describe are common with depression but even though things might seem very bad at present, with some help and support you can come through it.

It is good you are getting some help and seeing the psychiatrist tomorrow is a good step forward. Do your family know about this appointment?

Have you tried talking to your family? It can be difficult for people who have never experienced this to understand what it is like. Perhaps there is another adult you feel able to trust - a teacher at school perhaps, or someone in the family other than your parents.

You can talk to us here and know that we understand and will do what we can to support you and help you through this.

Try to go to this appointment today with an open mind and wait to see what help and support you are offered.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Hi Lily,

Welcome to NMP, I hope you find the support here you need. Feel free to talk openly with us, its so hard when family do not understand, how alone you feel and when you feel different it makes you feel detached.

All the best with your appointment and let us know how it goes and how you feel about the outcome of it.

I know what you mean about crying. I am the same - just not me to cry - but i've had a couple of days recently when i've started from something small as a trigger and then cried all day, all those pent up emotions released (can only be a good release) but I felt exhausted and worse at the time!!

Take care and feel free to keep posting your thoughts becasue we truely do understand how you feel.

WELCOME

Hi lilly,

Sorry to hear that your having a tough time right now, hope we can help.
I wouldn't worry about your doctor telling your parents they can't due to pateint confidentiality.

Look forward to maybe speaking to you in the chat room, usually get busy around about 7pm, it's a good way to have a laugh and forget your problems

Take Carexx

Welcome aboard Lily!! The way you feel is very normal amongst people that suffer from depression. Good luck with the shrink - I really hope it works out for you.
