I have recently learned from my close friends that I had severe depression for about a year in 2011. I say recently learned because I was unaware of my depressive state. I thought I may have been depressed but had no idea to what extent
.I was 20 years old and living by myself in my mums house with her 3 dogs (she was living interstate) I didn't work and would live off $50 that she would give me every week. I lost about 10kgs and slept during the day and would go on Internet chat rooms at night time. I thought all of my friends hated me and no one cared or knew that I was sad.
I Found out this week that during this time my friends sought out councellors and made me food and made appointments for me to get help. They told me they came to my house on a daily basis and knocked on my door trying to get in so they could help. They brought me food that they would later find moldy and untouched and there was dog poo all through the house. They said I would come to the window and tell them to f#*! Off.
This was all new news to me as I have absolutely NO memory of this happening. this is quite a shocking thing to find out about myself. even hearing them tell me this brings back no memories of it. It's scared me quite a bit and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar to this??
