I've been depressed since I was around that age too, or younger.

You sound alot like me. I like to be alone...most of the time, and I'm also horrible with people. I have a social anxiety or something...any time I'm around people I don't know too well and/or people I don't WANT to know, I get really nervous and I just feel really weird around people. I often feel like an alien or something because I can't relate to anyone...I'll just never understand people. And I always feel like people don't like me or that people are saying bad things about me or laughing at me or something. I feel more comfortable around animals. I'll never have kids because I'm too impatient. My cats are my children...animals are the only children I'll ever have.

I too had a very miserable childhood--Not childhood as much as my early teen years.
In my case it was too many parents (6).
I would have been really miserable more of the time if it hadn't have been for my dogs. They were my only contact with a happy world.
My senior year of high school I moved from a small, chicken-shit, Country school to one that had over 600 in the senior class. It was like a miracle--If I didn't exactly blossom, life still became a lot better.
I'm old now--but I don't feel old. I've managed to survive alcoholism, addiction, coming out as a homosexual.
And thanks to a couple of 12 step groups I've never been happier in my life.
Good luck to everybody!

hey all these ppl sound like all the ppl when i came onthis post, all of you guys are mean fucks especially Sam.

aww lil miss, i was fat too when i was small (still am a bit chubby but i'm working it off:o :) but i know what you mean...some of the fats just don't wanna let go!! :mad: ) People used to say really hurtful things (some still do but not as often.) I have a short temper as well, but i usually keep it all inside, a quite rage. But, i'm a total ppl person. i get along with almost everyone, probly because I LOVE TO TALK. i don't care about what, i can talk about almost anything :D hope ppl are treating you better

Thanks... I'm sorry you had to go through that too. :(
I'm not a people person at all. :p I hardly ever talk. I'm really antisocial. :p

hmmm...so we are a gahtering of depressive misserable fools with bad childhoods then?

I was thinking the same thing moon lol

hehe, well sorg (moon, preach..whatever) isnt as dumb as he pretends to be

I'm not depressed. Everyone who was mean to me is now a high school dropout, "gangster" wannabe who's probably going to act like a dumbass and get himself shot by some other dumbass. The thought's always good for a laugh
