Things weren't right
13 year old female
I have had depression now for over 4 years and I would always act like it was nothing, but after a few years I realised it was something and it was getting worse and worse everyday.
I started having depression because I was getting older and I realised the things going on around me weren't right. It got worse after my dad passed away. He used to tell me everything will be okay.
Straight after my dad died I moved to my grandparents because my mum has mental problems and she is in and out of hospital. I had a lot of boyfriend problems and everything was just falling apart. My life was nothing.
I have a really good relationship with my step dad, I have know him since I was born. But when I needed him the most he wasn't there. I felt like I had no one to talk to. I was fighting with my friends. Everything was just all going wrong.
I am still having problems today but I have to admit as soon as I told someone about this I felt a relief like not having to deal with everything alone.
