Ahhh yeah I myself am a Christian and so are my family. I think mum just thinks its a phase, I'm hoping thats the case too. I think my faith is the only thing keeping me going really.
Are you a Christian your self? If so have you checked out someone called Joyce Meyer? She's pretty cool, she has several sermons on dealing with depression which I'm focusing on at the moment, and the book of Job is another good thing to read in terms of depression.
I guess its up to you, you'll talk to your parents when you feel ready and able to, but this thing isn't something you should go through alone. The only way they will be able to understand and help you is if you tell them what you are going through/feeling and if they still don't understand then at leat you have tried. Have you thought about counselling? It helped me to make sense of a few things.
( sorry if I asked you this before)
The start of the year has been ok I guess. Don't know why but I've been feeling so panicky, I'm trying to deal with it though, facing my fears. I know it sounds stupid but I'm scared of socialising now, I'm scared that I'll have a panic attack but today I'm ignoring the fear and I'm going to a friends house. I'm trying to tell my self that things will be ok and trying to focus on the positive. *deep breathes*
Blue , I know it may be frustrating but I guess Malsy may find it hard to express her self/not feel comfortable with talking about her problems.
