To anyone who says it doesn’t get better and that they can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel I promise you it does and it’s there . Ever since I was 9 I couldn’t see any light and knew I wasn’t gunna see 16 , last year I remember crying my eyes out in front of my school telling my mom how 16 was never an option to me so I didn’t know what I wanted to do for my birthday .. I’ve never seen my mom so happy on my 16th birthday and she pulled me aside and said “baby girl when you turn 17 we’ll do something special bc it’ll mean you overcame a year you didn’t think you were gunna have” I turn 17 in 2 months , my depression is there at times but I can manage to get out of bed , eat, shower , and go to school, there was a time where I couldn’t do that, where I laid in bed for a week and wouldn’t get out except to use the bathroom and drink . My anxiety is worse than ever BUT I’ve learned that I won’t let it hold me back from doing the things I need to do, I learned that it does not control me but I control it! So for anybody who doesn’t think they’ll make it to a certain day or year … Believe in yourself that you could and hell you might surprise yourself because I know I sure as hell did
