Diagnosed with depression and nobody understands.
Depression Support / by Leoni

...See more Hi everyone. Let me start from the beginning. About 2 years ago i was suffering with self harm. I got given therapy but lied to them by saying i hadn't self harmed again when really i just covered it up because i didn't want to go. So i was discharged and continued to self harm. Then in Jan '13 i met my now boyfriend who helped me realise that i didn't deserve the harm that i was inflicting on myself and within a few months i managed to stop completely. However, for AT LEAST 6 months i have been feeling anything but myself. I have 0% self esteem, my sleep is fucked up, i'm always on the verge of crying and i am just not happy with my life or my self. So on Monday i took myself to the doctors and he said that  have depression. The only problem is that my parents don't understand and seem to think that i can just change this myself, the doctor has referred me back to therapy which i don't like and my boyfriend hates seeing me sad and doesn't understand that i cant help it. So, although all of these people support me i still feel trapped. I feel as though nobody understands that i see nothing good in life, yet everyday i smile and make others laugh because i want them to be happy. It's so exhausting.
