I'm a 16 year old girl who figured out that i had depression the middle of freshman year of high school. My name is Kimberlee. I tried taking my own life in 6th grade. I realized that moving wasn't the cause. I try to joke around about it so i don't feel like I'm the only one with it. Living with depression has been hell for me. Now I'm getting better, and i understand a lot better than I did before.

what happened was that i knew that i wasnt alone

i was trying to get along with everybody

my long ass recovery started with talking to a theripist

after that i thought i was crazy

then i talked to a pschycologist

then i got put on antidepressants

i used to get very pissed off about it

i hated them

i knew that one day that i would get better

im getting better

im in couceling now

im in a group that specializes in depression

i think that is about it

keep up that long fight. There is an end,I know I'm not there yet. I knew a friend who has depression,she's very encouraging keeping me going. Find someone in your life or maybe something to look forward to, until the raging waters of a hurricane abate.

Keep on going

Don't stop for nothing.
