One challenging point in my life was last year. Last year I started having symptoms of depression, though i didn't know it at the time, and it hurt not just me but the people around me. I was very sad all the time and didn't know why.My grades fell and I turned to some unhealthy habits that caused me to lose a lot of friends and support from family. I even quit my sports team and let down my coaches and team mates which only made me feel even worse. Even though many people asked me what was wrong I delt with this all on my own because i was too scared to tell anyone how I felt. I didn't really even know how i felt, I just knew I was sad all the time.
It took a long time and many messages to the support hotline to finally get to a place where I felt strong enough to tell someone how I felt. After I did I couldn't believe I hadn't done it sooner! They helped me realize that i was not the reason I felt this was but rather a chemical imbalance in my brain. I felt a relief, though I was still sad, at least now I knew why. My mom took me to the doctor where they asked me a ton of personal and repetitive questions. In the end I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety. They signed me up with a therapist that really helped. Now, even though I still get sad, I am back to a simi-normal lifestyle. Though this was a really challenging part of my life, I'm glad it happened because it made me a stronger person
