Hi, I'm brand new to this and I feel as though I'm close to hitting rock bottom. I'm 23 and have been suffering on and off with depression. It started when I was a junior in high school I suffered a severe stroke ten days after getting rear ended. It was a complete shock to everyone even the doctors they claim it to be freak accident the stroke left me paraylized on the entire left side of my body and I'm left handed. Luckily since I was 16 I gained quite a bit of mobility back. But, ever since the stroke I have been depressed. Recently I moved back home with my dad after a bad break-up and have been feeling the worst I have ever felt. Most of my friends have moved and gotten marroed or have children so I dont talk to them much. My family is really what I have and I'm tired of telling them how I feel bcause, they keep saying the same things over and over I guess I'm just looking for people to talk too. Hopefully someone out there can relate.
i can definatly relate .. if you ever need someone to talk to im great at listening. sometimes its all i need and i dont have anyone to talk to. no family no friends. i dont even like talking to my therapist which is why i have had 26 of them in the 21 years that i have been alive. samdiebel@hotmail.com =) hang in there
