dear mellon collie
depression robs you of alot of things. it makes you feel guilt,
scared, alone, useless and unable to do basic things. when i
was your age i didnt know i had clinical depression. i used to
arrange and rearrange the books on me shelves, i was a
crummy student and i had to overcompensate the depression
by being happy all the time. not until i was over thirty did i get
help, and believe me help makes a tremendous difference. i
know that i havent walked in your shoes, and even though i
dont know you i know that you arent fat and ugly. honey, if
you cant cope there is lots of help. talk to your doctor, a
favourite aunt, relative, pastor, anybody. sometimes people
dont know you're having a problem until you tell them. keep
posting, we care about you.
