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.

Ya'll probably think I'm email crazy but I had surgery and I'm just trying to catch up with everybody.  I definitely think most people don't understand mental illness at all.  I've lost jobs because of my 'Bipolar disorder and the anxiety, and haven't worked in two years, filed for disability in April of 2005. ; I have worsened a lot over these last 2 years, at first I tried hard to get another job-I'm an RN-and either I've been blackballed in this area or it's the way I'm putting myself across, but no one will even return any calls after an interview.  My father is Bipolar, and my mother doesn't even say the word, she says "Daddy's not feeling good" when he's having an episode.&nbsp; I try to talk to her and she always gives me the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" speech, but she does listen.&nbsp; My husband and children do understand more than most, but they have seen me through a lot and have taken it upon themselves to really lis ten and learn all they can.  Most people pity you, or don't really care at all.   Jan
