My mild depression

NAS73676

I have mild depression, because in elementary school, I have been bullied and called "Stupid", "Loser" and "Idiot" for having Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Learning Disorder Unspecified. I once believed my bullies and quite learning all together, and thought to myself as "Ret-rded" for a long time until now.

I hope it's not too late for me to learn math as I am 21 years old, I was just so frustrated and quiet, I was afraid of being called "Ret-rded" for not learning like my peers. I am sorry for using R-slur, I am just not feeling well.

  • Thank you! It's kind of too late, because I was depressed about for a long time and it feels chronic. I can fix myself, but it will take time.

    I sometimes fantasize about calling 911, because I meet all the diagnostic criteria for Depressive Disorder of some kind. I know that my mental health crisis is mild, but depression is a very serious mental disorder. I also have Bipolar Disorder and it makes my bullied past depression mixture even worse.

    Basically I am also admitting asking my worth of living anymore.

    I know what I said is too broad, I am trying to sugarcoat what I am experiencing, because if anyone will understand the context of what I am trying to say, someone could call the police to talk to me about my depression, and I don't want to go to mental hospital. I do well in school and don't show serious behavior issues. I don't want to take too many medications, and all I want is talk therapy of this type of depression I have. I am high-functioning.

  • No worries, they called me retarded and put me in special ED because I was odd and could not spell. Math is pretty interesting and there are a lot of different ways to learn it. Was there anything you were interested in learning? Like basic math or algebra?
