Lately All I have been feeling is sadness and numb, I have had depression for the past 3 years due to bullying and past issues that still haunt me to this day, I don't really want to stay here fighting a battling that im losing, Any advice?

I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling this way Emily, I have also suffered from depression for a number of years. I find the only thing that helps is taking yourself away from people who make you feel bad about yourself and focusing on the people who make you feel better about yourself. This is not an easy thing to do and sometimes you will find that the ones closest to you are the ones making you feel worse. I recently realised this about my best friend of 10 years and am still struggling to let go.

I really hope this is of some help to you. x

Thank you Lauren, Its had having to struggle with this at an age that is considered to young for the disorder, (Year 7 13yr old) Its also hard to take myself away from the people that make me feel bad because they are close to everywhere, online, school home, and your right, some of the time the ones close to me are impacting on it more,

Thank you for taking the time to reply,

Emily
