Hi me,

If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find our Depression Test.  This test is not a diagnostic tool and is not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor.  This may help you with better insite about what is going on.  Also, ask your doctor about free clinic's in your area, that provide support groups and a free psychiatrist.

Most of all, I can see that your boyfriend and mother are very kind people, use them for support.  They are there for you and want to help.

I hope that I was able to point you in the right direction.  We are all different and I am sure that you will be able to enjoy the next stage in your life.  Remember that we are always here for support and hopefully be able to answer your questions and concerns to the best of our ability.

Take care and be sure to keep us posted

Josie

I just discovered this sight and saw your post from April so i don't know if you're still checking in on this sight. If you are than I just wanted to tell you that you are a very brave, strong person. I hope your situation has improved but regardless DON'T GIVE UP. I attempted suicide on several occasions when I was 17 so I have an idea as to how you feel. I am now 45 with a 9 year old son. Life is still a struggle for me at times but there are a lot of resources out there and even though it may not seem like it - many people do care. I care about you and I don't even know you. You have your whole life ahead of you. I know that's a cliche but it is so true in your case! THE PAST DOES NOT EQUAL THE FUTURE. Fight to better your life. Do whatever you need to do to keep moving forward. Read, write, talk, whatever, just do it. If you're interested I'll share some things that have helped me throughtout the years. I'll give you my e-mail address if you'd rather not post on this forum. Whatever you wish.  Let me know.  Let us all know how you're doing.
