I am a 17 year old girl. I have had depression since about age 13. I am always upset, or sad. I take anything said as a negative remark. I always feel unloved, and unwanted. I have been a cutter since age 14. and i havent cut for the past 5 monthes. which is good, but recently i have had many many thoughts about it. when i was 16 my parents found out i cut, so i started cutting my legs to hide it. I am a bigger sized girl, so my mom likes to put me down about my weight, and she has a drug and alcohol addiction problem. My dad tries to stay out of the house as much as possible to avoid her. I wake up to her yelling at me, calling me names ( ugly, fat, retarted, useless) I just dont know what to do anymore. i wanna move out so badly but have no where to go and my job doesnt pay enough for rent. What do you think i should do? Im just so confused.

I'm very sorry about your situation especially when I know what is like to go through depression. I'm taking antidepressants right now. Listen, about what u said about your family life is pretty bad and no wonder u suffer from depression. My advice to u is take it one day at a time, start planning for when you are 18 and start saving money so u can move out. Don't blame yourself for anything that's happening in ur life because you are not at fault. Keep working and going to school. I believe you can overcome this just hang in there. Never give up and never give in because then you are going to let your circumstances win. Don't listen to the negative comments people have to say about u focus on the positive ok? Remember that whenever you feel unloved and unwanted think about God, he loves u so much that he sacrifice his son Jesus so u could be saved. He loves u very much and you r not here by accident. Read the bible and believe he wants u to live an abundant life. Just talk to him and rely on him. You'll get through this. I know that. God bless.

about 5 years ago, I started to fall into a really depressive episode. At first I thought it was only because I had a bad break from a relationship but the feelings wouldn't go away even after I got a new girlfriend. It was wrecking my life until a point where it was seriously affecting my work and personal life.
She was very worried but at the same time couldn't understand why I was still sad and thought that I still couldn't let go of my previous relationship. Being the wonderful person that she is, she put aside her feelings and suggested I go for psychiatric evaluation. Many months later and even more anti-depressants, I was not coming close to being better at all.
After doing some research online, I found out the real cause as you described it really makes a lot of sense and purchased this program. The results were simply astonishing. I read this book over three times and put all words in action. Using this method, I've kept my depression at bay ever since. Up to date I'm still living happily with my girlfriend.
