The first time I suffered depression was a year ago,I was only 13. my friends were all in a fight, I didnt know what to do. I thought I was fine until they started to turn on me..
It was the toughest weeks of my life. I felt that I had no friends, nobody loved me, and I had no purpose. I just wanted to die.. while I was dealing with my depression, I turned to cutting. I slit my wrists over and aver again until I ached with pain. I did not intend to kill myself, but the pain made me now that I was real, and that I existed. I never told anybody about that. I did not want to be pitied. I did not want anybody to see me as a lesser person then I was. I never showed anybody the cut marks all the way down my arm. I kept it a secret. I told myself I could make it through life, and I made a promise to myself to never cut again.
However I may have slipped and fell and broken that promise a coupe of times, each time I got back up and it made me stronger in the end. The truth is, there are going to be trials all throughout your life. But the way you deal with them marks how strong you are. If you are suffering from depression, cutting, or suiside, I am telling you to be strong. You can make it through this tough time, just believe in yourself. You can do it if you try.
