Utter Sadness Continues

Possible depression?

I admit, I may have great chemical imbalances in my body. Sure, it may just be something that the doctor can fix with a drug, seeing as how it does seem to run in my family. My mother has some form of depression that requires drugs.

But why me? Why is it that everything goes wrong in my life, and I sink away, to fade into nothingness? Let's examine what's wrong, and why I think or know it's my fault.

Try alanon and work the steps. You will find a new life. It sounds crazy but it helps. You need a new life and in order to get it--you need to change what you can change, yourself. I had a similar life when I was young and was able to get out of it. You can too.
