Depressed since childhood

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

I've felt sad and out of place for as long as I can remember. My parents split up when I was 7 years old and ever since I've had a lot of problems socializing. People always kept blaming me for not being nice enough to others and told me to change which made me hate myself but now I'm around 22 and no matter how much I try, I still feel this deep sadness inside. Can somebody even be depressed since they were so young?

Children can get depressed too, they have just as much of an emotional range as an adult. If that's the case them you should talk to a counselor about it.

Are you sad because of the lack of a social life or is it a usual state for you? I'd been very sad through school and most of college because I had no friends either

People can get depressed at any time if the circumstances are as such, and I could see why you were so sad when you were a child, it's very tough to live without your parents or getting blamed so much for not being "nice enough" while your facing such a hard challenge. I would recommend talking to the people you can trust or join a session for letting out your issues (this app has one and that too for free, so you can try it if you want) It's a good thing that you've already taken the first step, hope things get better :)

I'm in relationship right now. but I don't know why I don't like to stick with one guy. I like to explore.
