6 Comments

It all started when i was 12. I started feeling very sad about life and i lost the meaning of it. Now im 18 and i drink every single day until i pass out. 2 months straight now. I do feel bad about it but i dont know why im doing it. Im scared to go to the psychologist because i know he cant fix my life, it just seems so empty. I have tried to commit suicide but failed. Now i have a 2 year old sister and i want to be there for her while shes growing up but i dont want to live anymore. English is not my first language so i apologize if there are any mistakes.

    Do you know what triggered the depression at the age of 12? Whatever it was, alcohol won't help because it's actually a depressant and you have a strange concept of psychologists: they can't fix your life but they can often help you to change yourself and hence your life.

    If you're not going to kill yourself because of your little sister you have a choice: go on as you are or get help.

    Your english is fine, by the way, better than the vast majority of posts on this site.

      I know alcohol doesnt help, in fact, it makes me feel worse. I dont know what triggered the depression, ive been trying to figure it out for many years.

        If you haven't figured it out by yourself after all this time, maybe it's time for some therapy?

    Try to do things like help people like the homeless or poor when you do that you'll have a perpose in life ( I have to keep reminding myself that...)
