I am dealing with depression since I was 12, and it has been with me since. I don't know what to do or how to get it out. I had a terrible family as well, don't worry I'm adopted, but it's always hard for me to confess how I feel, so I always kept my feelings bottled up. And I don't have any confidence, I always kept thinking that I'm not pretty or anything and I hate my body. I also have trouble to find a place to fit in and to know who I am. What I'm basically trying to say, how can I get rid of this emptiness feeling in my gut? And build confidence to stand up for myself and others?
@PsychoKage1129,
Creative outlets that involve people other than your family might be a start. Music lessons, a ceramics class, a book discussion club – those sorts of activities. You'll get feedback from people who don't know you and you may even discover aspects of your personality that you haven't expressed before. Try to dismiss the negative messages your situation has programed your mind to generate.
@PsychoKage1129,
In my personal experience, depression seems to come from boredom. Try to find something interesting to do. Especially if that interesting involves physical activity.
@roger,
I won't be able to because I have an old fashion Mom that won't let me go anywhere, and I got my depression from when my friend passed away on January 10, 2022 by a police car.
