Hello everyone,
I won't reveal my actual name, but you can all call me Ella. I am 20 years old and I am a sophomore in college. I have no siblings, just my best friend that is my "sister".
I have been suffering from depression/selfharm/suicidal thoughts since I was in 8th grade, so about 6 years. I go through different phases, sometimes I get a lot better, then I will go through a period of being so terribly low. I usually do not know what triggers these things, but usually it ties into me feeling alone or something happening that throws me for a loop.
I have never gone to a doctor/psychiatrist/psychologist because I rarely tell anyone about how I feel. When I do tell people I think I can trust, they always end up turning away, so I just don't mention it anymore.
I'm really hoping that being here can help me out somehow...I'm currently in one of my low periods and I just end up feeling hopeless, tired, stressed and completely alone in the world.
I look forward to talking to many of you.
-Ella
