Hey, my name is Gaia. I was severely depressed for as far back as I can remember. I went through periods (exam periods of all times) where all I'd do was go to school; daydream; go home; bath; cut; sleep; bath; cut; sleep; bath; cut; eat; sleep. And so that ONE day repeated. I tried to kill myself a couple of times and got caught up a lot in minor drugs.
I have always refused, although I do understand those who need it, to take anti-depressants for myself. I believe that for me, healing internally is the only way truly move through the darkness. And, so far, it's been working. I've been steadily, constantly happy, with only 1 extremely minor breakdown.
I'm here to listen if all you need is that, and for advice if you want it. You may think your problems are silly or stupid or minuscule in comparison to what others have been through. Nothing is too small. If you feel it, it matters. Everybody has their own path to walk.
