I am a 17-year-old boy and I suffer from depression. I never had a normal childhood. I used to be isolated in my room and wasn’t allowed to play with friends. I used to stay with my mom, and my dad was not around. Their separation affected me. I had no one to vent to. I could feel myself absorbing so much negative energy. At school it was hard finding friends and it still is. At some point I would think of ending my life. The only thing that helped me to be where I am right now is prayer, and I am still praying to fully recover because those memories haunt me every single day.
