Feeling down or sad

Niggle 2808

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.

Today I could smile simply because I'm alive and I made it

,

My best friend had just had a serious car accident and was fighting for her life. My brother was told he had caner. I was struggling with depression and anxiety. I was self-harming and suicidal. I attempted suicide not long after. Then I called Kids Helpline - they were great.

I wasn't coping with loss

,

When my father passed away, I was very depressed. I called Kids Helpline and started crying about my Dad. I spoke with three lovely counsellors that where nice. Now I'm 15 years old and I don't ring up as much.

Thank you Kids Helpline.

It's good knowing I'll get better eventually!

I mean sure, everyone has mood swings and hormonal moods. But I knew mine weren't just my hormones. One week I'd be extremely low and contemplating suicide. I didn't see a better life ahead. I had made many attempts to end my life because I was so low.

I'd have my normal days where I could just relax and sleep was normal. I'd focus moderately better and my behaviour was heaps better.
