<p>If you haven’t checked out “Cornell University Confessions” on Facebook, do it now. I know some of the “confessions” are fake, but you can tell many are real. Sometimes I think we picture everyone else’s lives as happy and carefree. Reading the posts and comments will make you feel better. Everybody is screwed up in their own way. You feel like your life is falling apart, but this is a difficult time for most teenagers/young adults. Unfortunately, you have the added stress of your family situation. Keep sharing your feelings, you are not alone. </p>
<p>You are getting professional help and will get better. Stay positive and listen to your doctor. The right medication can help dramatically. It sounds like your doctor is willing to try different combinations and you will find one that helps you. Don’t be afraid to reach out to other adults in your community or try a different doctor (if you don’t see improvement).</p>
