My Depression story TW Suicidal thought and emotional abuse
Hey all! I'm a 16 yr old and this is my story, I think I've been depressed since grade six, and tbh life was never perfect but after I hit puberty I started to gain weight and things at home started to go bad, my parents argued over everything and my dad removed all his frustration on me by cursing at me and this became a daily ordeal. I pretended everything was normal and still continued to excel at school. People started to ignore me in school and I started to hate myself and I tried to cut myself thrice but I continued routine life as though everything was fine. Cut to 9th grade I had my first bf and things were going good until we got suspended from school becoz we hugged in school and I was put thru compulsory therapy where I jus got insulted further and I got called names like a bed climber and a loose woman(my school is pretty conservative) and above all they knew abt my issues and said I seeked male attention and comfort due to my strained relationship at home, it hurt me deeply and I started to give up but my bf kept me going. But during the lockdown things got worse as my family started to fight more and my bf left me and I conflicted with my sexuality, my academics and it felt as though my world came crashing down. I felt suffocated and trapped and then I broke down to one of my friends, she knew my situation and suggested 7cups to me and here I am! I jus Hope I'll get better and things get normal (I've gotten over my suicidal thoughts thankfully) but I'm here for all of you all and we'll get thru this together. <3
