"I've lost my mother to breast cancer when I was just 12 years of age. Naturally, I took it badly, and I know for sure that everything in my life,every aspect of my life, went down the hill from that point forward. I was diagnosed with clinical depression disorder two years later, when I turned 14. I was miserable and my father was devastated. Now I feel like such a disappointment to my friends and family, and I really don't know what to do with my life and how to eliminate the terrible pain I constantly feel. Depression makes me feel very much alone, I also feel very sleepy (although I sleep a lot), as if I have a massive weight on my shoulders that is pushing me down to the floor, and I mean it both, mentally and physically. Like many other depression sufferers, I don't have the energy to go out and do things even my hobbies are being neglected, I have a hard time holding on to a job or to a relationship. I just feel worthless and helpless†I feel as if I have done something wrong, that has made everything going bad for me. I don't know what I've done to deserve itâ€Depression is terrible disease! "
