Now, from someone who has dealt/is dealing with depression, I can understand where you're coming from. How long were you in therapy, may I ask? And has your doctor/specialist prescribed anything else to help you? A different medication, perhaps? Has the medication helped you at one point but it eventually wore off, or has it not been working at all? There will always be some sort of difficulty in life. Everyone goes through it. No matter how painful it is; depression, anxiety, etc; we will all get through it eventually and we learn from it, no matter how long it takes. So everything you are going through right now will get better. It's rough at first, I know; but believe me when I say that you have the strength to hold on. Now, regarding everything else; even though it was very wrong what your sister did, families tend to have some hurtful moments. However, they love you very much, there's no doubting that. Have you ever sat down with your sister and talked to her about this and how it made you feel/how it's affected you? I wish you luck in recovering from what happened; social anxiety and depression is a pretty rough thing to go through, but don't lose hope. Things aren't always going to be bad. If you need anyone to talk to, you are more than welcome to PM me and I'll gladly offer as much as help I can. I hope you'll be okay.
Understood. Regarding your social anxiety, yes; it isn't exactly easy to just "go out and make some friends", especially with the fear of social contact. This I can understand where you are coming from. Once again, if you need anyone to talk to, feel free to PM me whenever. I'll always be willing to talk and I hope that you will be able to recover from everything that you are going through. Stay strong!
It's really nice to find someone in the same boat. I'm also sad and having problems with school. I made a thread similar to yours too. Here's a quote from my thread: Feel free to read the rest of my thread in the Real Life section of the forums. The 'you' I keep saying in the quote is referring to my sadness and rage. Please keep thinking of this quote in your mind whenever you feel bad. Remember: You are strong. You will stand. You will shout. You will not give in. You're not afraid. You're not alone. You have light strength, but that's all you need. Many people are upset and afraid like you. Don't think you are alone. You are strength, not sadness.
You know, depression is just part of life. There's still jackasses in the world, but at the end it can be fine. Yeah you'll encounter jealous people, but isn't it a challenge for you to be stronger? Don't let that disadvantage (the brain) win by making you the heck sad, let yourself be in peace and positive as the cure to your problem. Of course, you will encounter toxicity, groups of people (gamers, gangsters, good ones etc.), because its life. Life is like an author making a story, controlling you like a puppet, but in this life you're the author in making decisions. Surely you think they wouldn't hang out with you, just be positive and make jokes. Depression, anxiety, evil, they're like a daily problem but just be yourself and hangout with your friends. Your sister? well maybe she wants the old you. Of course a family relative would never show their love to their family, maybe your sister is just shy. If you want to solve the problem between your sister, you gotta take risks. You gotta talk to her, it can be a risk for you that the problem would be much worse, but everyone takes risks for the benefits or solve the problem. I believe you're a good person and respect people's decision like how a family respects each other's kind of humanity within them, if you want your sister to be a loving one, show that love. And the musical carreer, don't let that talent fade away. That rare talent must be retained, but if you ain't loving it, go ahead and find a better one :) Life sometimes doesn't let you control it, they make you choose the right path with encountering issues you need to learn.
Ay, you got this. No matter whether you have feminine features, gay, bisexual whatever the fuck. I'm still talking to you person to person. I've had girl problems in the past and I've dealt with severe depression before. To the point where I've been to the fucking hospital. It gets better when you become older. Trust me, hang in there man.
Trying to keep this short. Best way for me to deal with it is keeping your mind busy. When I isolated myself, my tears would suddenly start falling slowly. I got out of that gaze wanting nothing to do with anything and got up to do something productive. Like you said, drawing and socialising with friends helped. You could try finding more activities to keep your mind at rest. As for the not believing you part, don't argue with them to try prove it. Many people are stubborn, like me :p and will refuse to believe you. There will always be people who understand and will offer to support you while going through something like this. Leave the non-believers and seek caring people who you trust. Video games and talking to people I met online for a couple years has been a great coping method. Not only does that help me emotionally, it helps with my physical pain.
