Im nearly 16, and i've been through hell and bakc tbh, i've lied to the ones closest to me, ivee been in trouble with the police, ive tried to take my life 3 times. My phyciatrist put me on flouoxitine just after xmas and they seem to be helping with most things, except my family. they keep telling me 'pull yourself together' 'no one can help you but you', things just dont seem to improving with the things i love most. i was sexualy abused last year and want someone out there to talk to. someone who knows what its like and how its easy for everyone to say get over it but they know how i feel. Im still not sleeping properly and suffering with nightmares when i do. everything around me seems to be falling apart and i don't really know what to do anymore.

My God, you have been through a lot I'm not sure how much I can help but did not want you to go unanswered. I have been depressed and it is vey difficult for people who have not been there to understand that you cannot snap out of it or pull yourself together. Could you take a familty member to see the Dr with you so that they can at least hear that depression is an illness and something that needs treatment.

Was it the sexual abuse which started the depression or were you already depressed?

I'm sure there are plenty of people who can help who will be along soon and am happy to talk to you till then.

We aren't really sure, when my mum and me went to my dr for the first time she said that its possible being that my dad and his mum both suffered with manic depression all their lives, that it could run in the family...
the nightmares started soon after the abuse but ive been swaying out of depression for a good 6 years now..so the doctor thinks with my sypmtoms from back then
Mums been dr's with me, shes the kind of person thats in denial, we havnt got a very good mother daughter relationship going and in her mind its something only i can sort out

Just to say, I'm not ignoring you, but am struggling to offer and advice. Have you tried talking to the Samaritans (whose numbder will be in the phonebook) as they may be able to recommend local agencies who can help.

I really hope you find the help you need!

Do you have support byt means of family or friends re this? Have you been reffered for counselling? Sorry alot of question I know, just wanted you to knwo I was thinking of you, and would like to help in any way i can xx

Hve you asked Dr about increasing the Ad's? Manic Depression is so debilitating and so had for others to understand. I would suggest councelling for the abuse and remember it wasn't your fault, there are some evil people in this world who pray on people like you. I have a young friend whio has been in this situation some 10 years ago and it still comes back to her and have suggested councelling to her. Depression makes horrible thoughts enter your head and sometimes knowing that it is the depression, not you that makes you think like this. Sometimes the sd's can make sleep harder and cause nightmares, so try and blame them, not you! Go back to your GP, by yourself if necessary, and ask about councelling and the ad's and remember, if you are brave enough to talk on Mumsnet, you are a strong person and I wish you all the best. xxxx

Hey all you guys, thanks for all your replies they've really helped, back to the doctors soon for repeat prescription so gunna talk to him then about it. Hopefully he can help more.Yes it was reported beller but i then wouldnt press chanrges cause there was no proof and i could have gone through up to 2 years if court cases for nothing to heppen, but with all the depression and everything i didnt need the worry at the time.Now i look back i feel i should have, as he had tried it ojn with a friejndmof mine to and he also has 2 young daughters. Hope your all pulling through and all ok?
