hello. I am a 23 year old male. I grew up lonely; at 14 I saw a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with depression. I continued to be lonely and depressed; at 17 my father died, at 18 I was raped. I then struggled to go to college -- for a while I made my only friend/girlfriend, but she'd only be willing to see me for short times once every month or so--it was the closest and most social thing I've ever had. After two years she broke up with me by email--and I did even worse in school, not passing any classes. Eventually I was so severely depressed that I really couldn't even continue faking school--I've been put on an MAOI but, still an too depressed to work or go to school. I am so lonly, and can't find an outlet to make friends. Since therapy and, pretty much all antidepressant medications haven't worked for me, I'm hoping I can get electroconvulsive therapy.
