My Story

[DarthRevan]

Just my story for anybody who cares...

I think the root of my depression is elementary school. I was an 'exceptionally gifted' student, which you would think is a good thing. However, this meant I was put in a program with a whopping three other people. We were seen as strange and weird by the rest of the school. Because of this, I had three friends for much of my life. When I came to middle school (where I am now), I had little experience in social settings. This, among other things, made me an outcast in middle school too.

Now, I have a deep mistrust of other people. Im extremely shy, and I try to isolate myself as much as possible. I despise popular people and people with large egos. Recently, I realised that I am depressed. I thought writing down my story would help, so I came here. I suppose thats all I have to say.

Only a doctor can accurately diagnose. I'm sorry you feel so isolated. Is there no group you can join such as a club or something in your area?

I feel about the same as you. I was 3 years older than my classmates and I just can't mix into their lifestyle. And so, I isolate myself. I'll skip lunch & hide out in the library to spend the time away.

Anyway, I hope you'll find some comfort writing down your thoughts here. Take care. (:
