Negative thoughts became self harming. I made a mistake by not telling anyone cause that made it worse. Finding ways to cope with the feelings helped.

My life ins't perfect but it's way better than it was! My parents were never there for me. When my past comes up my BF and partner helps me work through it.

I was a high-achiever at school but was unhappy at home. I got help to see things from a different prespective and not blame myself for my family's problems. 

I was struggling with depression and anxiety. Self-harming and suicidal. Today I smile because it made it through by not giving up. It does get better.

I have bipolar and was put on medication. I want other teens to know mental illness isn't taboo anymore so get help!
