For the longest time I was so depressed. I coped with it by cutting and just hurting myself in any way. My depression overcame me and I honestly wasn’t the same. I was never truly happy anymore. I never went out with friends and I never was okay again. The cutting would just get worse everyday. The urges to cut got stronger and stronger as each day went by. It was scary how depressed I was. But then I decided that I didn’t want to feel like this anymore.
I talked to people about it. I saw a therapist and I contacted TheHopeLine. With having so much support, I felt like now I had hope in getting better and felt like I had a purpose.
It was amazing how I can go from this depressed and anxious person, to a happy and free individual.
