How sad...how pathetic...I have beaten myself to the point of nothingness, and still feel nothing...I could not be more depressed, yet my psychiatrist does not think I am depressed...medication does not help...anxiety at least lets me know I am still living...I don't know what else I could lose...today I came to the realization that I have absolutely no friends..how sad...wow...I truly am a mental health case...I hate this site, yet it is all that I have...all that I have is my journal and this site to *** at ...wow... 

"Young Survival Coalition"  www.youngsurvival.org  is an organization specifically for young women with breast cancer. Some women were in their teens when diagnosed.  They have an active forum and a great deal of resource information.  

 Honey you are not alone.....I also have no friends..52 yrs old and not one friend to speak of other than my family. I am also "depressed" but refuse to start taking more meds. been there done that....I don't have any advice for you....Just know you are not alone. Hugs Cathy

 I think it's time to find a new psychiatrist.  If he/she tells you you aren't depressed and can't find a medication to help you when there are anti-da multitude of anti-depressants out there then they aren't doing their job.

 better put "when there are a multitude of anti-depressants"

My heart breaks at reading your posts.  All i have is words and I know that is not what you need.  I can tell you are in deep pain and I worry for you.  I wish there was more I could do.  Your anger is evident and your pain is great.  I don't pretend to know how it feels to be you.  But I do understand your anger.  What I do not understand is...What do you hope to gain from this site?  What is it you need?  Tell us how to help you.

I pray you find what you need.

 I, too, can feel your pain and your anger and deep sense of hopelessness. I wish I were better with words: words of wisdom, words of comfort. But I will be your friend, if you let me. I pray for you, honey

 Dear L-Dizzle,

Don't give up! It sounds as if you are really depressed and need a new pyschiatrist. I suffer from bipolar disorder - am mostly depressed so I have been there with both depression and anxiety. I, too, don't have many friends mostly because I shut them out and don't make new friends easily. I have found a place called Healthyplace.com online that has a mental health chat which can be useful. However, I'll always be glad to listen.
