Depression

Re: Depression
I will come forward and admit it. My lowest point was my freshman year in HS. I was being bullied by my ex-best friend and had some horrible things said to me by a volleyball coach. I went to my mom to talk it out and I ended up in counseling for a few months and on some meds. I was given some coping mechanisms and then I started dating Dh on a mission trip a few months later. Then things started looking up. It was a really rough time for me and my family. But had I not gone through that I wouldn't be where I am now.
If anyone ever feels that harming themselves is an option, talk to someone! It really helped to talk about it and realize that I could get through it.
Yes, me too. When I was a freshman in high school, my mom started dating my gym teacher. And he wasn't a 'cool' teacher - he was the teacher that everyone made fun of. So - in turn - then everyone made fun of ME. It was absolutely terrible.
Worse than that, it was like my mom did not care about what I was having to deal with. I cried every day, and cried and cried and cried. This was also the same time that I first drank alcohol.
15 years later, my mom and my gym teacher are married and have been for 10 years. Obviously, I don't have to deal with the ridicule anymore but it has taken a long time to repair my relationship with my mother. I'm still mad with her about all of that to be quite honest.

Please, please, please go talk to someone! There is no reason to live with this hidden inside. You will feel SO much better, or at least I did. Most companies have an employee assistance program (EAP) where they give low-cost or free counseling sessions. You will never regret getting help. If you ever want to talk feel free to message me on FB or here, sometimes a disconnected ear is all you need to work out your feelings.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Please talk to someone, talk to us, something. You shouldn't live your life like this.
