Hello. I'm new here and though I've somewhat introduced myself on another thread, I haven't here.

I am 24 years old. I think I've had depression for as long as since I was 4 years old. I've never sought professional help, and on rare occasions do I share my problems with others.

I started a medication for my depression and I'm not sure what I think about it. This is the first time I have taken medication for it.
I have a hard time dealing with my days through the week. I have a serious boyfriend whom I only get to see on the weekends because of the distance. I enjoy our time together, but it depresses me to only see him for about 2 days out of the week. Ever since I have finished college about 1.5 years ago, I've had a hard time finding and keeping a job. So the only thing I have to do all day is just sit here and either watch television, do laundry, eat, etc. I moved back in with my parents after a separation/divorce nearly 3 years ago.

I need my boyfriend around more often, I need a job, and I yearn to have my own place again. I'm just feeling really down on myself about all of my surroundings. I just feel like a burden on my family, friends, and my boyfriend. Most of all, I feel like a burden on myself. I don't want to die or anything, but I just feel trapped and like I'm digging an even deeper hole by the day.

Thanks for listening. It feels a little better to talk about it.
