a speech that a had to give for one of my classes!!!enjoy
Have you ever felt sad and alone? Have you ever not wanted to do anything but stay in bed all day and sleep? Did you just get emotionally over very little thing? For me, I a have felt that way, for everyday, for the past 8 years.
When I was about 13 years old, I became very sad and very depressed. I wanted to kill myself many times during this time. (Between 1999 and 2006) you see I have major depression. Major depression is a serious condition characterized by a persistent sad mood, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, and the inability to feel pleasure or happiness. Major depression typically interferes with day-to-day functioning like eating and sleeping. A person with major depression feels depressed almost every day. Many people, when they see me, do not think I suffer from depression, but if you would have seen me, at home sometimes, you would think very different. For a long time, all I did was go to school come home and sleep. That was it. Then my mother was scared for me, so she took me to a therapist and since then I have been on anti depressant and been going to therapy. Many people do not believe in anti depressant, but for me, they have worked for me.
Then I realize one day that I am stronger then I thought I was and I wasn’t my time to leave.
You see, I had taken some pills; I don’t want to say what they were, because I wanted to kill myself. But when I took them, all they did was make me fall asleep for about 3 hours and that was all. When I woke up and realize that I was still alive, it hit me like a tons me bricks, I realize just like that, I was a lot stronger and that god had a plan for me and it wasn’t over yet. From that day one I turned my life around and made things right again. I begin talk to my friends and family more and I actual started to smile.
Final I am on the right path for me, well at least I hope. But all I know is that I'm here for a reason, and as of today I have not completed my density.
