I’m 18. Ive had depression, an anxiety disorder, eating disorder, OCD and experiences Bipolar episodes and episodes of mania ever since I was 12 years old. I felt so different growing up at school and so one knew or understood what I was going through. I go through phases all the time where I relapse but have been doing better recently. Some days in high school I couldn’t leave my bedroom for a week straight in fear. I used to experience anxiety attacks daily and could be sat in bed for a month straight in a depression state. I’ve contemplated suicide before various times and self harmed on various occasions but I’ve been good recently. Depression along with everything els I suffer is ridiculously tiring and doing one thing in my day takes all of my energy. I have a great supportive family and boyfriend, exercise when I’m able to and eat the best I can as well as do work I’m successful in. This is a genuine health problem I am sick it’s not just something I can get over. I hope I can help anyone els out if they need I’m always free to talk. It doesn’t get better but you do ive always tried to tell myself.
