Im 22. Been dealing with depression for most of my life. I was diagnosed with anxiety when I was 17, then was diagnosed with bipolar when I was 20. I've had a rough childhood, my parents are both deceased due to natural causes. I was bullied all throughout school. After my mom passed I had to take care of my father. Which forced me into a deeper depression. Then I stuffed my emotions down. I now have emotions I don't even have names for.

It's great that you're able to reach out even though you're going through a difficult time right now. I am truly sorry for your losses. Dealing with a death of a family member no matter how long or short ago can be very overwhelming and reaching out to others can be a big source of support especially when you're feeling depressed and alone!! Do you have any trusted friends? Relatives you can talk to? It does sound like you're still really grieving over losing your parents and that is normal, but if you feel that you are too overwhelmed then it is important to continue talking to a professional counselor. A licensed counselor or psychologist can offer you long-term guidance in dealing with your grief and recovering from your loss.
