I think i may have depression and took the step of telling my mother, she was very supportive, but as i was explaining my feeling to her I became increasingly more and more angry at myself for feeling like this! I have nothing wrong in my life so why do I have depression? I feel like the worlds most selfish, ungrateful person! How do i cope and deal with these feelings?

I thought you might find this article, understanding depression a bit helpful, how would you feel about checking it out? http://www.thesite.org/healthandwellbeing/mentalhealth/depression/understandingdepression
Look after yourself Beth, take care
Welcome to the boards! I know depression and other mental health problems can cause havoc in your life and I would firstly like to start by saying well done and you are brave for opening up to it.
I personally have ADHD which is very stigmatised with the idea that we are naughty, disruptive and somewhat immature. However always having suffered with the problem my last college noticed something was wrong but always haven been given the titles, "different" and "naughty" I just shuddered past it and carried on. However this year I ended up crying and told my mum I had a problem and needed help. After extensive research we learnt a lot more and I was finally diagnosed which has made me feel a lot calmer!
Also my neighbour suffers from depression and she is the most beautiful, kind, glamarous women you'd ever meet; her kids are happy; her husbands handsome and she is beautiful!!! So when I found that out I was extremely shocked but the same day I read an interview with Frankie from the Saturdays about her having depression and I really think it would help so http://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/celebrity/entertainment/monitor/2012/05/frankie-sandford-glamour-cover-girl-interview that's the hyperlink for it
Sorry for just general rant but really hope I helped good luck with your future and I wish you all the best, remember how important and special you are for making the first move. That's one of the hardest parts and you'll start getting the support and help to making this a little easier on yourself xx
I felt that way about my dad. Until I saw the old pictures from when I was baby. My dad was playing me and my siblings, but the older we got the harder it seemed to be for him to give us attention. For me I still find it hard to connect with my dad, I think its because he doesn't understand me, but I understand him a bit better now so our communication is better.
You shouldn't feel bad about getting angry its proof your human and not a robot. xx
When I was really young I remember around some family members feeling awkward, and that they didn't like me, thought I was strange. But now if they say anything that makes me feel uncomfortable, I don't get mad or sad, I just smile on the surface while on the inside I'm thinking, "Shut up! what do you know? I'm not talking to you anymore. That's your opinion I don't have to accept it." Then I make a quick exit. He He
So even if they despise you, which they probably don't, they just don't get you. And don't worry about getting a job your only 18, and it took me a while to get one, so don't panic. xx
I was working in a job I hated when I was 17/ 18, I hit my hand as hard as I could with a piece of heavy metal just to get out of going in. It was really swollen and I still had to work. Pick a job you know you'll be happy in. xx :yes:
