depression
when i was 8 years old i was
diagnosed with extreme depression. it got better for a long time
but then after my uncle died i once again got diagnosed with
extreme depression. there are many teens out in the world with
the same thing i have and i just want them to know that life does
get better, things do change, there is help out in this world
that seems like a living hell. i got told that as long as in my
head suicide wasnt an option that things still had a chance to
get better. about a year and a half ago i was suicidal. i cut my
wrists and burned them. i got help. i came to realize that so
many people in this world would miss me, hurt themselves over me
being gone, blaming themselves. my depression was nobodies fault
and neither is yours. suicide is not the answer. you young teens
need to realize that you are worth so much more than you think.
when your down, talk to someone. talking does help in the long
run even if it seems like its not. there are so many people in
this world that care about you even when you feel like your
alone. i have had so many people in my life commit suicide over
depression. friends, family, or even people ive just met once or
twice. they were depressed, bullied, harassed, or any other
reason you can think of. ive had friends die of an over dose due
to doing drugs over depression. nobody is worth your life.
nothing is worth just giving up on everything in this world.
there are many other solutions. im glad that i finally came to
realize that im worth a lot more than i ever thought. ive had my
mom there with me every step of the way. ive talked to her, shes
brought me to see doctors, everything. i will never forget the
day she realized how bad my depression was she saw the scars and
all she could do was cry. i realized that im her angel and she
wouldnt be able to handle me being out of this world. just
remember, take my advice, even when it seems like you are
nothing, you are everything to many people in this
world<3
