"I've lost my mother to cancer when I was just 12 years old. Naturally, I took it badly, and I know for sure that everything in my life went down the hill from that point forward. I was diagnosed with depression 2 years later. I feel like such a disappointment to my friends and family, and I realy don't know what to do with my life. Depression makes me feel very much alone, I also feel very sleepy (althought 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, mentaly and phisically. Like many other depression sufferers, I don't have the energy to go out and do things, 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 itDepression is terrible disease! "
