My 13th is less than 2 months away... and so is the 3rd anniversary of my father's 2 strokes. All my memories of the hospital i got to know so well, my family being sad, my father lying unconscious on the hospital bed on my 10th birthday... are all coming back to haunt me. My friends seem to be ignoring me and it's just making my life difficult. I have suffered from depression before and i just keep getting sad for no reason. I don't know what to do. Please help me.

PS. He didn't die... it was just really painful because no one else i know at school or anything understands what actually happened... Most of them dont even know what a stroke is.

sweetie, don't dwell on the past like this, he pulled through it and you still have him with you, celebrate and tell him every single day how much you love him and are glad to see him each and every morning!!!

strokes usually happen because the person have high blood presure, and diabets. i know how is your feeling since my father have strokes too and thank's God he is still alive althouh he can't move his right hand. it's really influence my family. be positive girl, there is a bright side in everything that happen in our life. Now, my father can run his life quite well and find a job that fit on his condition. don't worry.
about friend, sometime when we are sad we always have negative thinking to everyone around us. just be postive and be happy

My heart goes out to you. I was about your age when my father was involved in a severe motorcycle accident. He was in critical condition in the hospital for several weeks and I wasn't allowed to see him. I dealt with my depression by acting out in school. I didn't have a lot of friends and my family was focused on my father.
If you are still feeling depressed after 3 years and are unsure of why, there may be a medical cause rather than a psychological one. Have you talked with your parents about being depressed? Or, are there counselors available at your school? It is important that you talk with someone. I hope this helps.

Your feeling of pain is understandable and a normal experience.One measure our growing up is that we learn to live with loss and sorrow.Pray for the soul of your Dad.thank him and wish him all the best in his next life.Try and live a normal routine.Have faith in yourself.Things WILL improve,but slowly and surely.Don't hesitate to take help from others.You can always return favors at a later stage.Wish you all the BEST.

He is alive!! Celebrate everything right now! Go to him and tell him you are reliving the very thought of loosing him. You both have something in common...you were both scared!! Your support system does not need to be your friends...they didn't live through it...your family did. Go to your family members...Celebrate you all made it through!! It is time like these that brings families closer. You all have one thing in common...and you all survived it! Thank God! and I mean that literally...thank God he left your dad here so he could comfort you and take care of you.

Stop and think he is still with me. Build lots of good memories while you can.
