Case Study 783
I have had depression but I think I was depressed all my life. I wet the bed and my alcholic parents didnt clean me and sent me to school smelling. I am a victim of child abuse and neglect by my alchoholic parents. I also didnt empathise with anyone else and I have always been lonely. Its difficult to look forward and see light at the end of the tunnel. I have been on three different ssris in four years. I lost a tooth due to the side effects of the drugs and the reduced PH levels in my mouth. I also have a long term rocking addiction. im sure there is something else wrong with my brain but I dont know what it is. I had a nervous breakdown, I thought I was having a stroke. this was brought on by having a nosebleed on my first job when I turned 18. the doctors dont seem too interested in my life and I feel isolated and lonely. I try to get on better with others but I am gay and I life in fear of others. I live a stuck, disabled, difficult to explain, wasted life. although im off antidepressants I seek purpose but time is running out to find a purposeful career I want to do. im worried and panicing and ive never had many friends. I struggle and I have no parents at all they are both dead. the nervous breakdown lasted a year. I couldnt move my body very fast, I was paranoid about my blood pressure. at the time there was a petrol crisis and the roads were blocked, if I were to have a stroke (which I honestly believed would happen sooner or later) no ambulance would come and save me. I have recovered fully from the nervous breakdown but deeply regret thetime it took me to find help.
