Hey guys,
some of you may remember me and more of ye newer members mightn't, but I've been battling with depression, self harm and anorexia for a looooooooong time now.
In the past 2 years my life has changed alot. I joined VT and finally spoke openly about my problems, some amazing people on here got me to tell my family how I felt and my dad got me professional help.
I resisted this help at first but this time last year I made one friend from here who changed my life and because of them I started cooperating in my sessions.
In the past 6 months or so I think I have progressed alot. Granted its still not easy and I have alot of bad days still but I am standing up for myself more and speaking out about things. I have increased the length of time I can go without cutting for (I can make it usually around a month between relapses).
I'm not sure if things will ever get better or if my depression will ever go but I know that if I keep working and with amazing friends like I have that I will be able to face the bad times without breaking down. Well thats my goal anyway.
If your feeling hopeless and you read this I hope it helped in some way. I have been to the bottom and I know how bad things can feel but things DO get better. I have proof of it and if you try you can get proof of your own too.
