I've functioned with it for the past 2 years, and I seriously started cracking several months ago bc no one knew and the weight was just dragging me down and no one seemed to really understand or want to listen and I'm a perfectionist, so I need to take care of this on my own and if I don't then I'm weak and incapable of doing one thing properly on my own.

Chances are you are just hormonal. I thought depression was a faze. I thought it would pass. That’s been well over ten years now. When it’s long term like this, you know it’s “real” and not just relative or hormonal imbalance.

Me too. Everything started when I was only 11 years old. I got treated like I was nothing, in middle school. Not by other students but by my teachers. Yes, the people who where supposed to help me and guide me. They did their best to remember me everyday that I was "different", I was the easy target... I'm in a wheelchair due to important health issues (fortunately, I'm still able to walk despite it being difficult). I had to spend more time in the hospital or at home resting, than in school. They didn't accept it. They were so rude, mean, cruel... I told my parents about the situation, they were amazing and immediately told the school. But saddly, even after getting "rig" of them, I'm still hurt. I just can't seem to forget. I was once a happy girl, always got amazing grades, shy but made friends easily. And now that I'm almost 18... School literally makes me sick. It feels like I've been stuck in here for an eternity. I just want to go home, cry in my mom's arms like a kid and fall asleep until this nightmare ends. But thank God, I never lost the will to live. I'm so grateful about this. In all these painful moments, there's a little voice inside my head who tells me to keep going. That I'll someday be happy. Not to let depression win. I'm still young, after all. So, I believe it.

I told my parents about my depression, they yelled at me for 20 minutes about why i never told them, and how I am over reacting. While i was crying in to my pillow. Now they are wondering why i don't talk to them about my mental health. Ps to everyone who is in the same situation the app 7 cups helped me a lot. It’s especially good if you want to talk to someone anonymously, but if you have bigger mental health issues then a therapist is best. Though 7 cups is free and worth checking out. And also I am here if you ever wanna talk.

Dayi You’re right. I do sound like a brat. I just sometimes feel tired of having my life dictated for me. I KNOW other people have it off worse then I do. Believe me, I do. So that’s why I sound so....serious about my own perineal issues I guess. Because a lot of the time people don’t listen to what I have to say, and I’ve stopped taking myself seriously. So when there’s just a small chance other people will listen to my thoughts, I take it. I over think things way too much. Clearly I didn’t think that comment through, and thank you for pointing out how shallow and bratty that sounded. Next time I’ll be sure to sound as grateful as possible. I know depression is more then feeling like everyone is dictating your life for you. There are so many other things it can be. When you’ve lost the will to do anything, because anything you do is useless and there’s no point to it because you’re dying anyways. Just lie on the bed staring at the ceiling telling yourself to get things done but there’s no reason to. Why talk when everyone around you seems to know what you want? Why try when everyone seems to know what you’re aiming for? Why try at all? Wouldn’t it be better to just slip away? Do you know what a filler friend is? I was that. I am that person. I know that sounds....laughable. But it’s given me issues with talking about my life. I would look around and hear all these people essentially complaining about their lives. And if I talked, would I be complaining about senseless things as well? “Oh no, I don’t like what happened to that celebrity.” “That shopping trip was unsatisfactory.” “I didn’t want this for lunch.” “My friends are useless.” “I wish I had a better roommate.” This is the only thing of substance I felt I had (I’m not trying to guilt trip anyone). The only qualifying thing, y’know? Share about equal (not equal, but you get the idea) suffering and suddenly be among people who understand you. If you’re still reading Dayi, I just wanted to let you know I completely understand how the comment sounded. I appreciate you pointing it out. And I’m just trying to figure out how to get my voice heard. I’m still figuring out whether my voice matters or is important. And your comment didn’t really help with it (okay here’s the possibly offensive part where you call me a brat, selfish, egotistical etc again and I deserve it). If I can’t complain about this type of thing without being judged, will I really think other thoughts are important as well? This has been such a major part of my life that anything else...I just...it’s not important anymore is it. So many people are suffering. So many other people are worse off then me. What right do I have to claim some of that pain and say, “here, my life is bad.” What right do I have to do that? I don’t. I don’t have a right to do that. Sometimes I think I should just off myself and make room for other people who actually deserve to talk about their pain and suffering.

Freddy Grunwald That's what she was talking about. When talking about Depression, everybody would be like "it's all about chemical imabalance in brain, mental health problems, something in genes" but I think the environment and the dictators and criticizers found in the society, in everywhere is a major reason behind every root of teenage depressions. I love this message by her and as one of having a depression, I 100% agree. Society should all have to be more open minded and get a better and utmost understanding into depression, so anyone who experiences it may be comfortably tell somebody about it, not feeling afraid that others would not seriously consider it, telling you're just lazy, overreacting and lack of attention. That's the phobia of the sufferers so in the end they decide to just keep it from self until they couldn't contain it anymore and eventually decide to end his/her life. Someone ended his/her life without being understand

You aren't lazy unless you know you should do something, but you want to focus on something more enjoyable. If you don't have the mental or physical energy, or just feel too drained to focus, that isn't laziness. Please know the difference I don't want you blaming even more things on yourself.

I'm not good at english, but here I go. A week ago, I was taking my prozac pills after breakfast, (I've been dealing with some problems after getting into college and had to see a therapist who told me to talk to a doctor about my mental health and the doctor told me he'll see if these pills work). My uncle saw me and asked what they were for, I was scared to tell him, but anyway I did. His wife heard it and she started lecturing me about how I was faking the whole thing, and that I should go outside and "do something productive for my life". I'm not talking to that woman ever again.

I'm sorry, but a lot of teachers and schools gloss over these things just because they're not in the textbooks. WE EXIST. WE ARE GROWING, which worries me because NOBODY should suffer these things and nobody should be forced to hide it because "being sad is weak" or "not normal" or whatever. I'm fed up.

Suicide is “worse” than pregnancy. After all, you’ve closed the book- that’s the end, whatever your thoughts on afterlife. You do have to forgive the curriculum- it’s more than fifty years old, and next to no changes in technique or approach have been implemented. School is designed to train students for factory life- 8-5 work days, bells, hour periods, “sit down, shut up, and listen” attitude about the whole thing.

Salad treatment is one of my many suggestions. Talking to a school councilor and getting information to lead to it will help ALOT. It's been 4 and a half months since I was admitted and was in North Star for a month. It took a couple of weeks for me to fully put myself in the treatment plan, but it really flipped a switch when the staff and other patients helping me through it. I've had depression since I was in 4th grade. And I'm a junior in high school and amazing staff members that understand what I'm dealing with and are willing to change up some assignments or let me sit with them for work things through.

In my case, yes you're right....recently my maternal grandfather passed away. My mother couldn't stop crying, my younger sister couldn't stop crying but me....It felt like I don't have any tears left to cry now. Maybe I'm way too insensitive or maybe this was the reason I couldn't cry that time. During the final ritual of my grandfather, my mother asked me how can I not cry and I had nothing to say maybe because I couldn't express how I was feeling and if I would express then I already knew what my parents' reaction would be so I didn't try at all.

I like this girl. she takes the aggressive way to approach suicide, depression, and anxiety. I like how she tells instead of asks what we're gonna do to prevent it, because I do better when I have instructions. I myself am fighting depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts for at least an hour about 3 times a week. I have yet to attempt suicide, but I don't want my parents to find out about it. today, one of my friends was like "if you're suicidal and you know it clap your hands" and the teacher told him "let's not say that because there are actual kids who have commit suicide here" and I said "or thought about it" and raised my hand. then the teacher talked to me and said "hey are you in a better place now?" and I tried to take it lightly and said "haha no" and he asked me "have you tried talking to a counselor about it?" and I started tearing up and mumbled "no" and walked away faster and tried to avoid him as much as possible after that. in that moment I wanted to turn around to him and just cry into his shoulder, because I wanted to say how just about 3 weeks ago I had contemplated suicide for 4-5 hours straight, and that was the first time I _really_ thought about it. he was the teacher I could tell just about anything to because he treats the students as if they were at the same social level as himself. I wanted to spill everything that has happened to me since the beginning of the school year, and just cry. I can tell other friends and people like that but it was never a good time, and I missed that chance to just talk to someone about me and me only. when I talk to friends about problems, it always turns around to them and their problems at home or whatever, it never just stays on me. but I have tried a few counselors and they didn't do anything except set goals and do stupid shit I didn't want to do. I just wanted to talk to someone and trust them with everything. plus, counselors may be professionals, but they're complete strangers. I need a school like hers with that kind of program but sadly none of the schools in my district really care about that. they have a crisis counselor but he only shows up after a tragedy happens. either, schools need a program like her school, or they need to teach students how to fully deal with a situation where a friend tells them "I'm going to kill myself" because we're all told to get the person a professional but what if they have anxiety about meeting new people? you can't just tie them down and make them talk, so we all need someone we trust to be able to handle things like that.

Megan Johnson As long as you think about it, you aren’t gonna do that. I actually made a game out of it. How many ways could I kill myself with the things I have? It became more and more ridiculous. Three hours in, I actually had a crazy thought. “So, I’m gonna make a trap magic stair case that makes you go faster for every steps you take. By the time I reach the top, I’m gonna go so fast that I break physics and recreate the Big Bang”. Seriously though. The more time you spend actively thinking or talking suicide, the less time you have in silence. Silent thoughts and idle hands- those are the real killers. In my two attempts, I have no recollection of events. My first attempt at seven I didn’t know what I was doing. I thought a three story drop would kill me. No, not even a three story drop killed me. I spent a year recuperating and cost the parents thousands. Second attempt at nineteen- and my greatest shame. Dunno how I survived drinking that much alcohol. It’s probably just my atrocious math that saved me. Just enough to pass out, go into coma, and starve to death. Or, enough to wake up a week later and nobody having any idea what happened to me. Thankfully, I’m a famous hard sleeper. Long, depressing story averted.

I completely understand the feeling of being trapped or unable to progress because everything around you feels so heavy. I would suggest talking to someone at school or home- having an outlet to just let all of your feelings out was incredibly helpful for me. I would also suggest trying various breathing techniques to calm down if you ever get super overwhelmed- I use this app to help me sleep and it has lots of cool options for meditation and stuff. Feel free to E-mail me if you would like to connect. Meganshinnick1@gmail.com I am happy you agree with me and hope you found this talk helpful :)

I remember fighting with my mum and accidentally saying that I’m suicidal then she said “well if you want to die, then go die” that broke me. I went to my room and cried then I came back and told her “you can’t just tell someone that they can go kill themselves‘ she then screamed at me and told me that I’m over dramatic she doesn’t believe me at all. The only thing that helped me cope with everything is my iPad I’m 12 btw, she took my iPad away from me you might think that this doesn’t mean anything but I couldn’t get everything out of me, I couldn’t forget, and I couldn’t feel safe when I’m around my parents mostly my mum. I don’t know if I have Depression cause my parents don’t bother to check if I have depression. It pains me to hear them think that depression goes away and comes it’s just a “sadness” I just wish they’d check if I had depression.

At my school we have a thing called "No Self Harm Contract" really, that's the actual title. When I was forced to sign it I felt humiliated. I felt so weak. I hated it so much and it is so traumatizing to walk by that door and to even see it. The counselors don't do anything helpful, they make you sign a contract and give you a list of hospitals to go to. They don't realize how humiliating it is to have that given to you and how they don't actually care. When I was in that room with my friend having the worst panic attack of my life and oh boy, she didn't fucking care. I want to get help, really, I do but not in the way that I did that day. Our school thinks that instead of actually consoling, helping, calming the students they make it worse. They call themselves professionals at this, instead they are absolutely shit at it. My different friend had to go over there and sign the contract as well and now has to be sent to California for a MH. I'm pissed, they can't fucking do their job. They are just sending kids left and right without actually trying to help them and calling it "helping". "Bridge" actually sounds a lot better and I would've gone to that program instead of my shit school counselors.

My school has like 'don't do drugs and alcohol' contracts and I know this is different from depression but it's still so dumb how they think that a contract would actually help. I think it's just to assure themselves nothing will happen. If there's ever a 'no self harm contract' or 'no depression or anxiety contract' at my school, I would stare the principal in his eyes and tell him I won't be signing it because a contract won't help or do anything

When i was younger and i heard about suicides, i kept asking myself why ANYONE would ever want to kill themselves. I mean you're given a life, go live it. A few months back, my loved one passed away unexpectedly. Initially, i felt ok. I thought i was ok. And then anxiety and depression hit me right in the mind. They hit me fast, and i didnt know what was happening to me. I was drowning and i didnt know what to do. My mind was constantly filled with the scariest thoughts that could push me past the edge of a high building, and i was crying everyday, trying SO hard to look around and feel safe, to feel okay again. I was alone, i told myself that people will only call me crazy, and i didnt deserve the attention. I got everything i wanted and yes, i am priviliged. Yet everyday i come home with my mind only overthinking everything, and bringing me to my knees, flooding me with tears as i sort my way through all the delusions present. It hurts, and it is SO difficult. All the respect to every teenager battling mental illnesses, its beyond scary and to get through it, you must be the strongest warriors alive.

I went straight to my room grabbed a razor and started slicing my arms up.I even went for my neck.. my mom was yelling my name.. she ran to my room and saw blood everywhere... that day I was called a fat emo queer. I was pushed down the stairs in the school and slapped around.. and the group of boys just has to finish it off. I remind you this was a on going thing for months.even years.. and I was.. that same day my mom has to drag me to her car and take me to the hospital.. I remember those days just like it was yesterday.. I would never want anyone to ever go through what I did.. but.

But they will never admit that, and instead just say its a chemical imbalance. I'm now just trying to heal from within, which is a long journey.

I got really bad tonsillitis this year and had to miss a day of school. and I was so so upset. it was my first time missing a day of school, I had missed school before but it was because of field trips or other school things, in three years. the reason why is because I refused to miss school. I couldn't do it. I knew I'd fall behind if I did. I go to school even when I don't feel well because if I didn't I know I'd miss things and if you miss things sometimes you can never catch back up in highschool.

You know what annoys me? I'm a twelve year old, so I just started middle school about a month ago. I've been having suicidal thoughts for about two years now, but I have a fear of blood so I've never cut, but I've done other things to myself that don't have as permanent of scars as that, but not the point. Since last year, a lot of my teachers have asked me if I was ok, and I was really confused. Do they think I look depressed? I haven't been diagnosed, so honestly I don't know myself. I always feel like I'm singled out from other students, but I know I'm not the only one who feels like this because all of my classmates get piled on work like this. Maybe I can't handle the stress as well as them. I'm not sure, but I think that school is a huge stress factor to kids like me and they need to *chill the fook out* Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

when i was 10 i was struggling with school, when i was 11 on christmas eve i got scissors and almost cut myself i did but i forced myself to stop before drawing any blood. on christmas i had some horrible scratches on my wrist so i decided to never hurt myself again. when i wanted to tell a teacher she got mad at me and told me i have loads of friends and to stop being petty, almost all by myself i've overcome my demons and i've never felt better. but the memories still haunt me. i'm sorry to anyone else going through that, stay strong

My depression started with my mom starting to act abusive against my dad and then later I found out that her “love” for me was only a way for her to get me in her side instead of on my dads. She wanted her kids to love her more than we love our dad and this hurt my dad so much to the point that he wanted to die. And when I found all this out I resented her. To this day my parents are still together but they have talked about how they’ve been wanting to divorce for the past 5 years. My dad loves the kids and my mom just wants us as an object that she can take away from my dad. My brother is the only one left for her to legally take from my dad so I can tell that she treats him a million times better than any of the other kids. She gives him whatever he wants and always lets him win arguments that I or anyone else in the family have with him. I see what she is doing and I don’t want my brother to be a snobby boy who feels like he has all the power so I try my best to help him but my mom just cradles him and puts him on the podium labeling him #1 when he should be equal to all of us. I try my best to talk back to my mom because what she is doing is wrong but the real problem is that I’m not supposed to know this. My dad told me everything and if my mom found out that he told me she would leave and then I know that my dad would become suicidal. This is the trickiest thing I have ever been in and this and other things in my life have lead me to becoming very depressed. I’m planing on graduating this year (or next year 2019) and I’m not even sure what I’m going to do after I do graduate. I thought that i would go to college right after but my mental state is just not doing good at all and my mind is just clouded up so much to the point that I can’t think at all anymore. And I don’t want to waste money in college when I know that I’m going to fail the classes. Life’s tuff but sometimes it be like that

@CYNTHIA ZHANG thanks for the comment. Currently doing quite a bit better. Got the job I’ve been dreaming about for a while and it’s so far going great and pays well. I’m currently in the process of moving out. Just in the planning phase and saving money but I’ve saved 5k so far so it’s going great. I started talking to the crush of my dreams like I’ve crushed on her for 6 years and we were talking and hanging out for a solid month but haven’t talked much since then about 1 month we haven’t talked. But I just asked her if she wants to go see a movie and she said yes like right away so she isn’t over me or doesn’t wanna just ditch me. So maybe it can go somewhere. And it wasn’t just a crush and I never talked to her. Like I crushed on her at first sight but we actually were good friends in school and have some stuff in common. And when I first saw her I had a gut feeling about her something I’ve never felt before and she is just my biggest crush I’ve ever had ever

@@talia4909 damn that was a while ago. But I was deep into depression at one point. What’s crazy now is that I’ve gone through that. I know exactly all the signs of depression and how to best help and I actually helped my dad understand why he feels the way he does in certain instances because he was becoming depressed after his wife of 25 years just stopped and called him a monster then left. (He is actually the best dad). I helped him and he is doing slightly better I’m helping push him but not being too pushy because let me tell you. No one can push you out of being depressed only yourself.

I know a friend who once told me she had depression. (I'll call her X for now). I was legitimately worried about her. That night I spent hours searching online for different ways to deal with the disease just so I could help her, I was also reading several experiences from other victims just so I can get an idea on how she felt. After writing down a full page of notes she sent me a text: "I have depression, please don't talk to me." I was pretty taken aback by the text since I was her closest friend at the time. But I just thought that she needed some space and was more comfortable doing that alone. The next morning, I was lining up outside class for first period and a girl lined up behind me, starting a conversation. This was the short conversation: (Not exact but close to it) Person - "Hey, did you know that X had depression?" Me - "How did you know? Did she tell you?" Person - "She told everyone..." When X joined the line a few minutes later, I asked her why she was talking to people when she texted me last night telling me not to talk to her. She said, "My mom brought me to a therapist yesterday so I'm fine now." As you can see, many of the information above showed that she was faking her depression and only doing it for sympathy. Firstly, you don't tell everyone that you have depression, cause there is literally no point in telling everyone when you could just tell one person. Secondly, people with depression don't recover within one therapy session. Maybe that might be possible for other recovery methods like Hypnosis but I don't think therapy works that way. Especially since she sent me the text late at night. What sucks about this was that people believed her. Of course not everyone for some were sceptical. But there could be people with actual depression around her which is heartbreaking when the needed attention was given to the wrong people. This happened in seventh grade, which was a year ago.

In New Zealand, we have health school, which is a program for kids who can't attend school due to mental or physical illnesses. I'm about to enrol in this since I've had months off school due to depression & anxiety. I'm actually really surprised that in other countries, not all schools have programs that help kids like us. It's a shame that there are schools out there who don't support kids with these illnesses

"so you are depressed about what? Your life's perfect" You only know what I want you to, a persons life goes so much beyond than just what you see. A girl who smiles and says every morning 'Hello friends' she can be depressed. That boy who always sits in the corner with music, he can be depressed too. No, depression does not have the same impact in everyone, some people are better at hidding about their feelings. Now parents, stop saying to your kids that if you are sad you just dont have anything better to do or should go outside! Depression is not just a fase, not just something every teenage has, and it is NOT common in highschool. If you ever need friend, I am here, I wont get done with you, I will support you every second for the rest of our lifes if that is what you need. Remember to stay informed. Now sending love and positivity to you 💕 I love you and you got this!

Im freaking 17 years old working towards my IGCSE's months away. It is just hilarious that we have to be studying so much for 8 subjects, 4 of which do not interest me at all. How can I not be fucking depressed when I have no time to do shit. I will go out and all I can talk with my friends is if they have finished their assignments for school. We had one Christmas break in which I had at least 5 hour study sessions per day, and still didnt manage to finish everything ! I did all-nighters to get everything done and now that we are back to school we just keep getting more and more and more and more and I cant fucking stand it anymore ! My school lacks freedom ! There is no students council or adviser or any of this shit. Its just the teachers, and the headmasters bullshit. We got no freedom of speech or expression !!!! AND DESPITE THE 8 HOURS PER DAY SCHOOL WE ALSO NEED ANOTHER DOZEN OF HOURS DOIN HOMEWORK.

Ho similar, though I don't blame my school. Parent's are constantly putting pressure where I live on schools to "add homework" kids should be learning more. I think if the government and public released the stress and pressure on schools to make perfect results every time (like not using random Ofsted inspections with a suit up guy checking out every corner and staying at you across the classroom), and also got parents to teach kids life lessons more like paying bills, instead of parents expecting the school to babysit their kids, hopefully this idea of perfectionism for a waste of time can subside. Otherwise there is going to be serious consequences on the mental health of young people, even more than now.

yes, that sounds like a lot of stress. have you talked with your parents about this? have you checked with other authorities not present in your school or higher in the hierarchy for policies that could help? are you the only one of your peers feeling this way? chances are, you aren't and you could all get together and persuade the teacher to give work that still allows you to be flexible. I encourage you to see if there were more efficient ways to manage the workload, or for the teachers to ease up on the workload, because all of the studying could backfire and you may lack balance

HappyMaskSalesman I agree with everything except the parents thing. yea its their job to teach their children things but not everyone has parents who care enough to feed or look after them let alone teach them. and lots of people don't have parents at all whether they were abandoned or their parents died. and sometimes the parents don't even know the things that their children need to be taught. or they are just terrible teachers. the fact is that parents are too variable. they could be too busy, too lazy, too inexperienced, too cruel or not even there at all to teach their children life skills. so school really should teach these things. Because the fact of the matter is that not everyone has the ability to be taught by their parents how to pay taxes, how to deal with mortgage, how to find the best deals in the store, how to fix their clothes. What school needs to do is calm down on the workload, shuffle the classes around. I personally feel like science shouldn't have to be pursued past middle school and that once you reach highschool it should be replaced as a core class with a life abilities class where you learn these things in.

Pixyire Productions firstly, sorry but I love in the UK so no idea what ages high and middle school are :p Secondary for me is 11-16 primary is 5-11 Anyway, I find that if a child has parents that struggle to teach everything to the child it should be the government's job to place services other than school to help them, but sadly that is on a perfect world and the government seems more happy to ignore struggling families and their relationships than creatively help them, other than maybe throw some money their way, which is unfair but hopefully as mental health is declining governments will be forced to help families in the future. Secondly (I managed to get my crappy internet to search up the ages of middle school) but quitting sciences that early doesn't bode well. How can you teach them all the basic sciences when by the time they're 13? I certainly wouldn't have remembered any of it until I was 15. What about the people who may want to learn science in the future? We desperately need more scientists, lowering the age to learn science will decrease that number. A lot of jobs need science, whether one likes science or not you will actually use it a lot in life (making it a life skill itself of sorts) and what's more it's highly useful to push certain people who feel academically unconfident. It's very vital to prevent ignorance, radicalisation and all the load, and leaving it at middle school is too risky. Furthermore I usually find school kids not listening in class for simple life lessons. This is why actually I have changed my idea and believe their should be more external governmental and private institutions to teach young people, as well as making it clear for them that they can learn online or through books or ask any adult if they want to learn things. I find many young people complain about this, but really if they were taught this you find that they don't listen until they're more mature. Therefore I think if you get external groups to help people out you can get more knowledgable and specialised teachers teaching you, school teachers can have reduced pressure, and what's more subjects can still be taught and won't be left in the cold (as someone who has to suffer the government cutting down on art and therefore less art classes for me, it really gets me fucking angry when main subjects taught less than others because they think they're "less important") But at the end of the day, one must realise if they truly want to know something, they can go find it independently. Yes, time constraints can be an issue or resources available, but it isn't that hard to connect to wifi somewhere to read up on how to manage basic bills, especially since a surprising amount of families like to get good phones instead of seeing food on the table. This is a generalisation, but as a young person myself I see a lot of my generation preferring to argue and complain instead of seeking ways to change it or independently finding the answer themselves, you obviously as you've considered ways to change it, are the minority, to a lot of people I've talked to.

I don't need to know everything about the periodic table or about gravitational lensing to pursue my chosen career. I didn't say it should stop being taught. I said it should stop being forced onto people when they don't want it. move it out of being a necessary class and make it an option for the people who want to be a scientist.

I realized that i was about to become depressed but fornutately my brother was here for me. During quarantine i was feeling so "low" and useless, i couldnt look at me in the mirror without crying and some days i wished i simply never woke up. One day, i couldn't take it anymore and cried out loud in my room. My brother came and hugged me, he asked me why i was crying and we talked about it. I felt safe and relief to be able to talk to someone who actually understands. I was litterally sitting on my brother's lap crying while he comforted me. From that day on i felt much better. So i encourage people who have been feeling terrible during quite some days to talk to someone you trust.
