An introduction.

Hello,

I'm Cristina. I'm 24. I used to be happy and carefree and have lots of friends. Now, I'm perpetually sad and I avoid people like the plague. They annoy me. They pretend to care and want to help me, then they break me down by telling me I'm young and I can do so many things.

That's a load of crap when one is struggling with depression. I was diagnosed three years ago and I don't even know what life is anymore.

I guess that's why I'm here. I need a little perspective from people that know what it's like to not want to go through life anymore. From people that can understand exactly how it feels.

So. Hi. I'm Cristina and I suffer from depression. (think there's a 12 step programme I could use to make everything okay?!)

Hi Christina and welcome to the Forums. And yes, you have found a great place to get that perspective....people here do understand and never judge. I have found that it is extremely hard for the people in our lives to be able to understand and grasp how we are feeling. I hope that you find comfort in the posts here and can identify with the people here and find the support you are searching for.
