Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum so i guess ill start by introducing myself. My name is Kevin and Im 18 years old. Infact, i just turned 18 today. I have been diagnosed with OCD which causes chemical imbalances similar to those created by depression. So, im kind of predisposed to it. Depression tends to run in my family as my father has attempted suicide, so has my sister, and at different times all three of us have been hospitalized for depression. The last few days, if not weeks or months have been a bit of an emotional roller coaster. My parents are divorced so birthdays are always rough for me, because i dont get to see both of my parents at the same time, that is i cant have a birthday dinner with my mom, and my dad. I have had a lot of arguments about various things with both my parents recently and have had some troubles with close friends recently. I feel like i want to cry but cant. I thought maybe sharing some of this with other people who go through the same thing might help. So...thanks for listening!

Hi Kevin, welcome to the forum. I hope you can find some information and encouragement here that will help you. I know what you mean about splitting time between your parents... my parents are divorced too--they have been since I was 2 years old--so I've spent my whole life dividing up birthdays, holidays, and other events between my mom and dad. And sometimes it is hard--people tend to forget that I'm only one person and I can't be in multiple places at once.
  But at least you know you're not alone in how you feel.Happy Birthday, by the way! |

Hi Kevin, Try to find something to be thankful for- believe it or not it helps. I didn't have any parents while growing up. So I couldn't imagine what you are going through. Lots of times when I am down I start thinking about what I have as apposed to what I don't and it makes a difference. We do not live in a perfect world, but I do believe we can be who we think we should be. Sometimes it just takes a little faith and perserverance. At any rate, don't give up! You were meant to be here and we (forum) will be here for you, ok?

Kevin, My parents aren't divorced but can hardly stand to be in the same room together. I wish they would just split so that atleast family gatherings would be peacful.
I hope that you feel open and brave enough here to say what you need. And Rayma, that goes for you too... -------------------- Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. - Dr. Suess
