I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I totally related to some of the things you said and it made me feel less alone. That’s why sharing our stories are so important! So Thankyou!

I was also deeply depressed from a very young age, even as young as 10 or 11 when I wanted to end my life. I am so lucky and forever grateful for the person who found me. But like you said in your story, I ended up going to a psychologist alone, my parents not knowing how to deal with me. I look back on the time and can still feel the pain, but I just hope anyone reading your story and any comments can know that with a bit of age and experience it does get easier. My favourite quote and one that I KNOW is true is; “ You can’t stop the waves coming but you can learn to surf” ( I’m not sure of the author).

Thanks again for sharing your story. ❤️🤙🏻
