hi. I'm a 17 year old high school senior. I was placed in foster care halfway through my sophomore year in high school, after i was "found". My father was depressed most of the time, very angry man. Very angry... My mother had some mental issue going on. Neither believed in medicine, so i never went to doctors. They told me that my asthma, and depression was "all in my head". I was placed in foster care because of lots of emotional, mental, sexual abuse and neglect. I've been depressed probably since 4th grade. Was put in a mental health hospital for 3 weeks end of my sophomore year. very suicidal then. Now i'm in a stable foster family, on lots of antidepressants, but struggling incredibly with stuff that happened at my bio-house. At the same time, since i'm a senior, I must focus on applying for college, getting scholarships (since i'm a foster kid with no money), keeping my grades up, and looking towards the "future." I don't have the strength or energy to deal with both school and the deamons from my past. I'm kinda hopless right now.
Sorry, that was really long. I appologize.
