i'm only 15 but have suffered depression since i was ten. i live in new zealand and have spent the last 6 months in a adult mental health ward. my parents no longer want me and i live with a foster family, but that doesn't hold me back. i've tried to commit suicide over and over, but every single time something has happened to stop it, i now realise that maybe i'm just not meant to die. i can't say i'm not still depressed, coz hell that's far from it. but i'm slowly learning better ways of coping than resorting to bulimia and self-harm.
the people i have met on my journey inspire me beyond words, and many of them i worry about every day but what's the point of worrying about things you can't change right?

Hi there
Maybe the most important thing I want to say to you in this message is that You are not your past...You exist in the Now...and right now, in every moment of your life you chose who you want to be

I promise, you were not born a depressed baby, you were not born with the drama, and pain...or a Curse...you are not Chosen by a greater power to suffer and to never get a break from depression

You are just You...not a person with a past...all you have is the Now and the choice of who you want to be Now

Ask yourself where are you now and where you Want to be, and when you find the answer I can help you out to decide what to do in order to get there...if you're not happy with where you are in your life right now, you can make a decision to Move, and it is as easy and making a choice

I know where you come from. I've been there myself. You can change if you want, but the change may start only when you wake up mentally and realize that life is suppose to be good and that there is nothing more important than for you to feel good
