I hate living. I hate it when others rule my life. drag me out of bed for medical exams I don't care about. I know I'm just a 16 year old kid, but I'm not allowed to object? I've been depressed for more than a year now and things only get worse, but my parents are sure it's nothing to do with depression, they think I'm sick physically so that's why I'm always tired and lost my interest in living. they just don't realize the problem. once when I got into a fight with them about that I showed them the scarring on my arms and hands and said "see that? where do you think that came from? am I a carpenter that I have scars on my arms like a pirate?" they were so shocked. they asked me why am I risking myself like that and I answered because my life sucks. they didn't answer ....

It was a Thursday afternoon at around 3:00 and I was 14 at the time. I had just started high school a few months ago and I was just feeling lost and unwanted. On top of that my uncle had committed suicide and passed away a few weeks prior and now my best friend told me she was attempting. I came home from school and I got in a fight with my parents so I went to take a shower to give myself time to breathe and relax. In the shower I cried as I thought about everything that was going on and I remembered something my small group leader had said the day before. She said “if you’re ever feeling hopeless and don’t know what to do and you just need to hear God, talk to him- tell him everything that’s going on. Talk until you have nothing else to say. Then wait. Wait and just breathe, be still. He will talk to you. Maybe he’ll remind you of song lyrics or something a friend said to you once, but the way you know that it’s God is that it will bring you peace.” So with tears streaming down my face I told God everything that I was feeling and everything that I was struggling with. And then I sat down on the bottom of the tub and I waited. I sat there and conditioned my hair and eventually stopped crying. Then I was reminded of the song that goes “you are here, moving in our midst. I worship you. I worship you…” and I started softly singing it. And then I closed my eyes and sang “you are waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness, my God that is who you are” and I sang that verse over and over until I had tears running down my cheeks again. And then I got to the part of the song where it says “even when I don't see it you're working, even when I don't feel it you're working. You never stop, you never stop working” and I sang that a couple times as I stood up with my eyes still closed. And in that moment I realized- even though I don’t know what to do, he does. He’s got this. He is a way maker. He is a miracle worker. He is a promise keeper. He is a light in the darkness. And most importantly he is my God and I can trust that the God who created the heavens and the universe can bring me out of this storm. So I opened my eyes, and I smiled. My problems weren’t miraculously fixed and my pain didn't fully go away, but as soon as I shifted my focus to God, my problems and the pain I was feeling got a whole lot less important. You see God doesn’t create us to fill space. He didn’t create us to just lay around and go through life without feeling any pain. He created us to walk beside him and lean on him for whatever we need help with. Think about it this way- you can’t fight a bear with your bare hands. You need some kind of weapon- right. It’s the same thing for whatever you are going through. No matter how hard you want to conquer your trials and fight your bear by yourself, it just won’t work. You need God. And sometimes it may not seem like he’s there and you wonder “Why God? Why is this happening? Can’t you fix this!?” and sometimes you just feel like crying and screaming “Where are you, God!?”. Well he’s right there beside you. And he cares about what you’re going through. Don't ever feel like your problems are too small for God. If they are big to you, then they are big to God. But no matter what, God is bigger. And if you trust in him then you can find peace and know that it’s out of your control. It is in the hands of the one person that can get you through it. And as I sang that song that clicked for me. I don’t need to fight alone- I have God on my side. So that not only brought me peace, but it also brought me joy. And I know it’s strange how I was able to smile and feel joy even though my pain and my problems were still there. Well there’s a big difference between joy and happiness. Happiness comes as a result of an event or an object. You got a new car or you’re hanging out with your friends and that makes you happy. Happiness is surface-level and temporary. Joy on the other hand is way deeper. You can be in a situation where you feel overwhelmed and alone and still feel joy. You can have pain and problems and still have joy. Because joy doesn’t come as a result of something tangible. Joy comes from knowing that God is with you and that even in the hard times, you can still worship, and even in the sad times, you can still smile. Because you can be struggling mentally and physically but have joy. And we can thank Jesus for that.

So for anyone fighting a battle and wanting to give up, don’t. Every morning that you wake up you are still needed. Every morning you take that breath and you open your eyes, God still has a plan and a purpose for your life. It’s not over until God says that it’s over.

Also, I do need to say, if you are feeling anything, no matter how hard it is, get help. For me, I can go to my parents, if you can't go to them, then I would go to a counselor at school, a trusted adult, and if you go to a church, go to a youth leader, the pastor, or someone you trust.

For anyone who reads this, I want you to keep reading. Middle school for me made me very depressed, so my mom gave me these bible verses, and had me carry them with me everywhere. Whenever I felt sad, or doing something stupid, I would read these cards:

Matthew 11:28,
Come to me all you who a weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Psalm 23:4
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Jeremiah 29:11
"I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you, and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope, and a future."

These are only a few, but I know that they can work. They worked for me, and they worked for my friend. Remember that God loves you, and he has a purpose for you!

Do you know what 🍦tho? It's the fact that the ones who care the most are always the loneliest. The ones who laugh the most are always crying on the inside. I mean ever since the beginning of time, I've been the one to ALWAYS help and talk to literally anyone who might need help. But who's there for me? no one. And I should tell my parents? believe me, I have.
So ever since this started, I have gone through some noticeable changes. I've started to chew my nails all the time, I bite my lips till they start to bleed like crazy, and everything I used to be good at, is now just another load.
My parents can notice it when I'm hiding a freaking chocolate bar in my room. Why can't they understand depression?
I even tried being vocal about it but it just never works. They said "you're too young for depression"
Ummm..... Is there supposed to be an age?? like I turn 18 and I'm suddenly prone to anxiety and Depression?
I mean idk maybe they're right. Maybe wanting to end my life is just a phase! Maybe self harmm is like an emo thing. It doesn't matter. Right????

Please, show them this. I know it is hard. But they will believe you. Trust me. It might feel like they don't understand, but they will. Trust me. Please get help, would you rather be ashamed or dead? Because that is how it might end up

Ps. Watch "It's a Wonderful Life"

I don’t know what to do. I don’t understand me, my parents dont understand me, and my friends expect me to be someone im not. I feel like i dont matter. I know that my problems are insignificant in comparison to the world, and in the long term, my life is meaningless. I think if i died id just disappear. I dont think people would really care. I need help, i dont know what to do. I havent cut myself or anything but i think about it a lot. I went from crying once a year to three times a week.

Thanks for reading this if you did.

What should i do?
