Niggle 2802

I finally had the courage to stand up for myself. Now looking back I had made myself suffer when all I had to do was tell someone and get advice on what to do.

I failed nearly all my exams due to lack of time management and stress. Hearing other kids stories made me realise I'm not the only person suffering.

I became the bully's target. I finally talked to someone. It made things a whole lot easIer. I made new friends and finally stood up to the bullies.

I worried about making the wrong decision

,

In year 12 I had been struggling to keep up with study and a part time job. The pressure was getting to me and I got stressed and depressed. I had to decide what I wanted to do after school - there was so much pressure to get into the courses that interested me.  A lot of my friends seemed really sure about what they wanted to do.

It instantly felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders

,

This one girl was nasty to me because I had a brown eye and a blue eye. Something that simple. She endlessly teased me and eventually started to call me far nastier things. I started getting depressed, I never wanted to go to school. I went as far as making myself vomit. But when I was at home they would send me emails and text messages. I started to have suicidal thoughts. One day I saw the ad for 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.
