“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe. I have been fighting depression for 3 years and self harming for two. My father left once I was born, he never wanted a girl. He now verbally and emotionally abuses me and physically abuses my brother. My mother is my rock. Through everything she has been through, she still supports me and treats me well. I have anxiety, and I refuse to go to school because of it. My entire life I've felt so weak and as I recover, I am starting to feel stronger. I am currently in treatment for my depression and anxiety. I'm not complaining, I'm telling you this because people need to know, there is a reason why your's or mine, suicide attempt didn't work, because we weren't meant to die. Don't give in, fight for your life!
