Hi, I've just joined. My doctor has diagnosed me with depression and has put me on a course of Amytriptiline which doesn't work at all so I am going back for something that might actually help. I have had depression for what I believe to be about 6 months. I am only 17. I have immense stress from college and family. I have never had a romantic relationship or anything romantic ever. No member of the opposite sex is interested and the love of my life is with my best friend and she has no idea i have feelings for her. So that has driven me to hate myself for being such a failure at everything ( which I have been in most aspects). I have what other people may perceive to be a happy life - but I feel empty.
