Can`t Fix Everything....

A personal story in the experience: I Battle Depression
I have been trying to fix everyones problems around me since i was a little kid. From trying to raise my little sister (mom and dad both heavy addicts) to keep evryone happy around me. Everyone thinks I`m so strong and always has the answer. They`re wrong! I feel so lost, if I try to confide in a `friend`, they have no idea of what to say.

And I honestly feel them pulling away. Between my ex-wife and several friends and family members, I am completely ruined financially. They come to me with sob stories of how broke they are and ask to borrow money(which I never get back). I was rather successful with two businesses, so everyone thought`he`s `loaded`go get some cash from him. Well now it`s all gone. The economy has ruined me. I`m now unemployed with a huge amount of debt and no way out. All my friends now don`t bother with me because the `good times`are over. I`ve never felt so alone in my life. Even my kids seem kind of distant. Dad`s house used to be fun with every type of Video Game and lots of trips. Now I just can`t do that anymore and the kids are starting to be resentful. I have lost it all.
