So yesterday, I was talking to my friend, and I casually slipped that I have depression. But I shrugged it off, and was like you know I’m mentally ill. And she said, is this a proven fact, or do you just think you have depression?
Like, my dad, my aunt, both my grandma’s, my uncle, and all my great grandparents have depression, and I have all the symptoms. But no, yeah, let me just tell my parents that I want to kill myself and get a therapist to diagnose it so that they send me to a mental hospital.
At 17, I was a depressed teenager who self harmed and wondered about just how painful it could possibly be to end my life.
Right now, I’m laying on the couch, and I can hear my husband reading our four year old a bedtime story using silly voices.
Life gets better. Make sure you’re there to see it.

Person: What is your hobby?
Me: You know… The usual. Being rejected, crying, being lonely and self-loathing…
Person: what?
Me: what?
being mentally ill + suicidal at a young age (before 18) is. strange, because you grow up with this idea that one day you’ll finally snap, turn off, be brave enough to kill yourself, so you don’t really plan for the future. adulthood- further life, it isn’t for you, nor do you feel included within the future of it. it isn’t.. it isn’t part of your life plan.
and then before you know it you’re 18 and you’re an adult but you never thought you’d get this far and sure it’s great that you’re still alive you guess but also. you feel so alone + lost in a world you never expected or planned to be a part of.
