Jenni's Story

My name is Jenni, and I loved your page on depression. I have been diagnosed with depression in 8th grade, but I knew I had it before then. I was put on medication, and then taken off of it just last summer. I was doing fine, but shortly after Christmas this year I crashed, and attempted suicide by wrapping a trash bag over my head. I started to get dizzy, but then my friend called, so I took it off and cried the rest if the night. I had hit a low. I got help though, and now I am back on medication, so I am doing better. But I agree with you about doing it just because you want to see if people cared. All I could think about was what would happen when my mom found me, who would cry, and who would come to my funeral. It's horrible being depressed. I think one of the worst parts of it is knowing that I can't see or feel the world like a normal person. It's like being blind, there are some things in life that I will never be able to feel without that heavy depression dragging me down and tinting my vision. Thank you for making your page, it's a big help. And I know there are people out there who need it 10 times more then me, and I am glad that it is there for them.
