I’m currently 15. My battle with depression started when I was 1, but even before then I had always had suicidal thoughts. When I was 12, I started abusing over the counter cough medicines to robotrip. Then I started experimenting with more drugs and different things. Eventually I had done almost every drug out there before I was even 14. When I turned 14, I started cutting myself. I still cut myself occasionally till this day but not as much anymore, but I do still battle with the suicidal thoughts. I’ve been sober from all my drugs since January of 2022. I have a lot of stuff that is very hard for me to live down.  My mom almost committed suicide 3 different times and every time has been because of something I have done or related to me. My father was in my life but he wasn’t really a father figure. The only time we would talk is when we fought because he would say racist stuff to me (I’m mixed). Since my 15th birthday I’ve had lots of trouble with the law. I have anger issues and bipolar. Thank you for reading my story.  Hopefully we will all be happier one day.
