Need some advice
Depression Support / by friendlySpruce4623
Last post
 May 31st, 2021
...See more I just got back from college and barely had friends I hung out with down there. Most of the time I spent by myself because a lot of the people were fake. I really looked forward to coming back home only to see my best friend who I haven't seen in like 5 months. However, my parents only let me see her like twice a week. The rest of the days I spent working and I was really looking forward to finding true happiness and to just be happy this year. However, my parents are preventing me from doing that and they keep me on a tight leash to where I have a tracker on my car and phone and can't go many places. Even though I just turned 19, they still treat me like a child and I've been dealing with depression and all of the stress they bring on me since I was around 13 or 14. It's gotten to the point where I'm out of options and I just feel like giving up. In life I can only find short term happiness and the good things always outweigh the bad things. I know this may seem small compared to the things others go through, but it’s something that really weighs down my mental.

I know to many this may seem like it’s not that big of a deal compared to others, but it’s something I really struggle with and depression does run in my family.
