I struggled with depression and self harm for years. I met a guy and we started dating(still are). at an early age of 13, I became pregnant with his child.

If you struggle with self harm or depression, try reading. It may sounds stupid at first, but just try it. :) It saved my life, and it may help you too.

When you're at the lowest point in your life, and you feel like you cant go on anymore, reach out for help. After being down for many years I finally reached out for help, I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. After hospitalization, therapy, and medicine I can honestly say I would not be a live if I wouldn't have asked for help. Its never too late to ask for help, as long as you are willing to receive it. As Buddha once said, "No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again."

I used to self injur it started when I was 15 and went through a traumatic event. It didn't stop until I was 18 but not before I tried to take my own life.

I think I understand what ur going through. Ur NOT alone. Ur NOT crazy,

Don’t be worried about other students’ stigma or that teachers will find out and your grades will be affected, if anything, talking to my counselor helped my grades because it helped my depression.

I'm getting better. Having not cut for 3 months is a big deal for me...

Don’t be worried about stigma
