I thought of one reliable and useful solution for my depression, the solution is not costly and I have experienced it before, with the solution being therapy.

So just to sum it up, my brother is the one who caused it and I get set off easily.

Some other symptoms I have due to my depression are unintentional weight gain and loss, due to not eating and overeating, easily irritated, thoughts of self harm and some attempts, and crying spells that tend to happen for no apparent reason, I also tend to isolate myself from my family and social
