    • Close Depression
      : Post Partum Depression

      Earlier in my schooling I was teased alot and didn't think I was worth much. Plus it was hard dealing with my parents fighting night after night. I used to go online to talk to people because I felt like they were the only people who understood me. In sixth grade though one of those people made me feel like i was so special and I tried to meet him. Turned out he was just another scumbag wanting to get laid. After that I got teased more and more. Everything got worst. I struggled with ripping my arms up with scissors to covering it all up the next day like everything was alright. I really didn't believe something was wrong with me until 8th grade when I looked at myself in pictures from a year before and seeing how ugly i was. All I saw was someone of pure fat. I stopped eating. I remember during school hearing my stomach growling but telling myself it was alright that in the end people would actually look at me like I was normal. In one week there was a 13 pound drop in my weight. If it were to drop any more I would be underweight. Not eating wasn't the only thing I did though I would exercise nonstop. If I were to sit on the couch once I would just feel all grossed out and fat. Then I started wearing these really tight bracelets. I could feel the circulation being cut off in my arms and watched as my fingers turned purple. I often checked the bracelets to see how many marks I got. at one point they cut through the skin. Then later I started trying to choke myself. One Friday night I tried to choke myself three times. A week later I started overdosing on my anti depressents and my sleeping pills. It all started before a movie I was going to with my mother. I didn't want to feel my anxiety that night so I took three of my anti deppressents. The next day I snuck them into the bathroom of a hotel room while my mother was sleeping and took five sleeping pills and 4 anti depressents. A couple minutes later in the car I took 2 sleeping pills. That day I remember feeling so tired I sat down on the couch and immediately fell asleep. Before school a day after I took three sleeping pills. And it kept going on though I stopped taking so many anti depressents so my parents wouldn't notice them gone. To this day I am still trying to get over my depression.

      Writing Not Working
      I tried to write possibly to tone down how depressed I was. But thing was that just made me think too much about what was happening and it made it way worst then it ever was.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      I would try the best I could to think positively but in the end I ended up thinking negatively. But I would try and try It was somewhat helping but not really. Nothing really worked.

      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Everything they said I just refused to listen. I just really wanted for people to think I was skinny. I wanted my mom to think I was gorgeous like she called all my friends.
    • Open Bereavement - Teens

      When I was around 6 years old i learned that I had lost a twin sister. As time went on I clung more and more to not having her. It just felt like half of me was missing. Now every time I think if it I find it hard to believe thinking that I killed her and that because i'm living she isnt.

    • Open Depression - Teen

      So I was 13 when I learned that I was depressed though it started when I was 12. During my depression I went through things such as annorexia, overdosage on pills, ripping up the skin on my arms, and cutting off the circulation in my arms. I still am not completly over it.

      I think it is really woring...well that is when i remember to take it. Although I tell you never overdose on Prozac. I made that mistake and I couldn't even walk down the stairs for about a month without falling over. Plus my hands wouldnt stop violently shaking.
