Maddison Saunders, depression story.
My name is Maddison Saunders and my life is kinda messed up. I live in the USA and from age five (Starting kindergarten) to age 12 I was bullied. My mom lost one of her friends to suicide and I didn't know that until I was 11. When I hit age 12 or the beginning of fifth grade I realized I was Bisexual. I (accidentally) came out around the middle of sixth grade. I had already been out to the school. I realized I had depression when I started feeling completely random moments when I felt nothing about everything and felt such a burden to others I had started to cut. I put most on my knee at first. I was sent to therapy after the school finding out I had cut three times on my forearm. To this day people ask me if I cut or if I'm depressed. Yes, I still have depression. Yes, there are times I wonder whom all cares and if I really am a freak, but I've been shown that suicide never helps It just makes people worry and blame themselves. Believe it or not, it's hard for me to share bits and pieces of my story but I will do anything to help save a life. On the day I posted this to the website I am surrounded by good friends that care about me to their death. I hope all of you my age (teenagers) can find those friends. -Author, Maddison Saunders
