Hey :d
My name's Beth, i'm 18. I've been struggling a lot recently, and its just been getting harder.
I was bullied for 5/6 years through high school, i was called fat, ugly, told to go die, people would throw things at me and so much more. My mood started to get a bit low, and recently i was finally diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I've also been struggling with self harm and some other things because of what i've been through.
I still struggle with self harm and with my depression, the only support i have is from samaritans and when i go to see my doctor which really isn't enough.
I've had counselling, i've been on different medications, i've just recently been put on a new one, i've had therapy, i've spoken to police, been to hospital etc.
Things just seem so hard now, they just seem to get worse instead of better, but i still battle on, i work full time but i struggle with that too because i am so sensitive and even the littlest comment can get to me and i can just want to burst into tears but i have to hold them back.
I do love work, but i just find it so hard and draining.
Anyway, nice to meet you all :wave:
I'll keep fighting

We're really glad you have found us as this is a great place to share how you're feeling and get advice and support from the community.
It's really positive to hear that you're using the Samaritans and that you have some support from your doctor but it sounds like it isn't really enough at the moment.
If you'd like to start a thread to get some further advice and support then you could do that in the Health & wellbeing forum if you like: http://vbulletin.thesite.org/forumdisplay.php/90-Health-amp-Wellbeing
I wonder if outside of work you're able to make time to do things that you enjoy and to try some self-help tools as well - one idea would be to post something asking for ideas around this?
Anyway, welcome to TheSite, it's great to have you here *hug*
