Hello all, 

I have been dealing with depression my entire life. When i was in school I fought my parents to let me see a therapist, and when I finally saw one after 5 years, I was diagnosed with major depression, PDD-NOS, and social anxiety disorder. All those years were not fun. I made excuses to friends as to why I was busy every friday afternoon because I was embarrassed to say I was in therapy. I only trusted in a few close friends who were supportive, but to be totally honest I was relieved to leave my hometown for a college in a different part of the country. I thought things would change, and that my depression would disappear because I was finally away from my hometown, but i was wrong.  


I saw a counselor in my second year at college, but I was still too distracted by the newness of it all to really focus on my mental health. The winter after my second year, my depression returned. Upon returning to school for the next part of my year, i was unable to recognize that my depression had completely devoured me. I attempted suicide. the only reason I survived is because my friends realized there was something wrong with me that day and found me when they checked up on me. Afterwards, I dropped out of school, and went home to get the help i needed.

I went through a lot of different therapists and a lot of different medications before I found the combination that worked for me, Mirtazepine and Oxazepam, finally i started down an easier path. There are still many days that I force myself uphill again, but now my pack is a little lighter, I have the tools to make the going a little easier, and I know that I have loved ones who have and will continue to carry me on days when I just cannot walk anymore. And I'm proud of myself.

I finished my major in psychology and i want to help other people who are in the same situation like me. And with those people i mean people who cannot afford to get the help they need. But before i can do that, i need to pay off my debt from all the treatments i went through and the school i attented. I hope you all are so kind to give me the chance to help other people.
