This is my story: The first thing that has affected me most is when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and I was fine at first but as the years went by I got more and more depressed. As a 6th grade student I was bullied to depression ( didn’t help that I was already depressed),so much to where I thought my only way out was suicide. Before I could try, my parents put me in a phycreatric hospital. I got out 8 days later feeling better. But sadly it didn’t last long. I got depressed again and there was nothing I could do. Didn’t help that last year when I was in grade 9 I was diagnosed with ADHD and chronic depression. I couldn’t help but eat my lunch in the corner outside where no one was and cry until the bell went. All I had was marching band it was the only real place I had friends. Sadly not long after, everyone was in my family was depressed and I felt like it was all my fault. I kept thinking my life is so dark and the only way out was suicide but I resisted the evil voices. All these feeling I held in. When I went to the presentation today, and the presenter said all those who are struggling stand up I stood up and when he said tell the people standing up that they are amazing and that you are there for them I started crying. All those feelings I held back for years just flowed out of me and the football team huddled around me and said that they are there for me and that meant a lot knowing that I had no friends in any other year other than a few. They cared sooo much that they talked to the coach and got me on the team. Finally someone someone cared about me. I felt like I could never be normal because of my diabetes but when they put me on that team I was normal, I was accepted as who I was.
This is my story and for all those who feel the way I felt just remember never give up your moment will come
