Hello Kay, I'm Vertigo. I am 18 and suffered from depression
at the age
of four. My mum was an alcoholic but has undiagnosed
condition due to
alcohol. She hears voices and occasionally beats me. I have
my own
personal problems on top of this and hate hearing people say
that I'm
fobbing off or faking. I have been depressed for a very long
time and it
has gotten worse after bereavement. I don't care what others
think but I
do think they just overlook it. They say we're depressed
because of how
we look or split with a boyfriend which they say is silly.
To be honest
they don't give a toss.
