I’ve recently gotten out of depression. It sucked. I’m young by most standards and some would say that I’m faking it. I wasn’t. I was ‘smart’ to go tell my parents once it came to the point of self harm, and I went to therapy. It help for awhile, but then I got worse. I cut deeper, and my mask grew. I think I deserve a Grammy for my acting. To everyone else (my family) I was cured. But alone, I was planning the most efficient and painless way to off myself. At this point I’m about to trigger so I’m moving on. Then my brother got admitted into an in-patient hospital for addiction and depression. I thought I was apethetic to that, but when he called me on the day of his release, and when I saw him and he hugged me, promising that everything was going to be better while crying himself, I promised myself that I would stop. I wouldn’t let him down. I eventually noticed that I was getting better when I started dancing around the house. God (sorry for anyone who doesn’t believe in him, I just can’t find someone to swear to right now) I don’t remember the last time I did that. It’s been awhile since then, and self-recovery has been shaky. I’m a kid, and even adults have chance of relapse. But I think I’m done. A few tips tho, depressed people can still feel happiness, we can still have fun or laugh, but eventually all the feelings that we’ve repressed come surging over like a tidal wave, and that’s part of the reason I cut, so the wave would recede. Also, crap like ‘don’t worry! Everything’s gonna be ok!’ And ‘stop being so pessimistic! Smile!’ And for therapists and family/friends: ‘just talk to us about what’s going on! We’ll help you!’ Doesn’t help. Like, whatsoever. I mean sure, it reassures us, but it doesn’t help make our depression suddenly go away! Sorry for ranting, that’s about itV(^_^)V I just wanted to get some things out there for anyone who’s stuck w/ me this far. Bye!

I have to agree “you know you can talk to me right?” I feel like I hear that every week. You ever wonder why I don’t its because I don’t trust you with my feelings, they just don’t get it. It gets tedious.
