Depression is an unbearable pain that no one can understand unless they have been through it. Pain so intense that death seems like a good option, an adequate escape path. Sometimes death even seems like the only way to escape the torment. BUT there IS a way out! I suffered from depression and anorexia most of my childhood and teenage years. I didn't know what was wrong with me. My depression worsened year by year, and I got increasingly suicidal. At the age of seventeen I completely broke down. I couldn't fight the battle any longer. I just wanted to die. I had written suicide letters, straightened out my belongings, and was ready to carry out a suicide plan. I was at boarding school, and it was late at night. I had waited until my roommate had fallen asleep, and was ready. Then a friend of mine came into my room for no reason; she just felt something was wrong. Having been miraculously stopped from committing suicide, I decided I wanted to live, but only if I could live without depression and anorexia. So I saw a psychiatrist and a counsellor, I took anti depressant medication, I read books and I studied everything I could find on depression. I then found out exactly how to overcome depression, and you can too. I now have a wonderful life, a gorgeous husband, and an awesome son. I now enjoy life, which I never thought possible.
