I have an anxiety disorder and suffer from social anxiety and panic attacks, as well as trouble sleeping. In the last few years I have been depressed and suicidal, but I have mostly gotten over it during the pandemic. I have never told any family members if friends about any of this, but i believe that getting over it alone made me a stronger person. I am only 13, but I will try to help anyone suffering from similar things.

I believe that having the courage to tell people you love makes you strong. If you feel confertable with it, I recommend telling someone

Here is a quote that helps me" It will[get worse] But then it will get better. Then it will get worse again. Then better. This is like and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth. I promise you Kaladin: You WILL be warm again" From Rhythm of War

I have a-typical depression, PTSD, and a gene that will kill me. 2021 has been a bit harder than 2020 though 2020 was rough. There's been some family drama that flipped almost every trigger my PTSD has, so I'm back therapy again. I'm going to be starting anti-depressants this month. It's been a few years since I've been on them but it's also been a few years since I was that close to a nervous breakdown. I'm okay right this moment. There have been a lot of struggles. Luckily I know myself well enough to know what I can stubborn my way through and when I need to seek help. I've had multiple nervous breakdowns, I don't want another one.

I'll be okay, sometimes everything just gets so overwhelming and life never gives you a break.

Heres something I read that helped me "Who is the strongest of mind? The woman whose emotions are always on her side, Or the woman whose thoughts always betray her? You have fought this fight every day of your life, shallan. And you are NOT WEAK" Also "Our weakness dosent make us weak. Our weakness makes us strong. For we had to carry it all these years" (From Rhythm of War)

It's mostly because of Covid and sexuality and gender and stuff (which I started figuring out during covid) but I am often feeling really down, my therapist says I have depression but I never really think of it that way. I also have very very very bad anxiety and paranoia about everything, I can never sleep (im an insomniac) and I'm never tired, I stress an unnecessarily large amount about the littlest things. I never thought I was good at covering it up but my mom says shes scared how different I act around her and my friends than I am to one friend who I trust with more than my life, so I guess I am? I am currently suicidal (not gonna act on it don't worry, I still gotta marry my girlfriend and meet thomas sanders before I die) but it's getting better, less and less thoughts like that every day. I just heard the vaccine for 12-15 year olds was released so hopefully once I get that and am able to go to school again everything will go back to what it used to be and I'll be genuinely happy all the time again, so.

I was so happy before the pandemic, and all of a sudden I don't know myself. No one knows myself. There have been times when I thought I was going insane, almost like there were voices in my head, but that hasn't happened for a while. I used to self-harm and I actually cut myself with nail clippers (?) recently because things are really complicated between my ex(???are we still together???)-girlfriend and I.

Please stay safe out there guys, don't turn out to be a psychopath like me

I have suffered with anxiety and depression ever since my childhood. I finally realized something was wrong when I was twenty two years old in 2007. When I was in middle school, I felt suicidal and I felt like that again as an adult. I have not felt that way in almost two years. I get help for my mental health and I have a very supportive family.

for the first time in too long, it’s actually ok

some of the people in this world? they’re amazing. really. they’re filled with love and compassion and the little quirks that make them laugh. i’ve met so many other people with adhd like me that makes it seem like i’ll be ok and living a productive life is possible.

dogs are incredible and funny and so fluffy. cats are too. their noses are so soft and velvety. spring has come and summer is around the corner and the world is bursting with green. the horses by my house have shed their winter coats and their fur is glistening. the world is beautiful.

about this time last year I was contemplating whether or not I still wanted to exist. the world was cruel and dark, and I couldn’t see any way out. I was suffocating. I had a single glimmer of hope in my life, and that was one of my friends that became my closest friend as we talked constantly throughout quarantine. now he is my boyfriend, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. he is amazing and he saved my life. I have yet to tell him that, but someday I will. the end of covid 19 is coming closer every day, and I get to go out to a movie with him tomorrow.

I know life is not always easy, but right now I just feel absolute bliss. I’m looking forward to my future and I hope I can remember this feeling for the rest of my life.

My mental health sucks so bad that if it were sucking a lollipop it would take a minute to finish it by sucking alone.

Depression.
