💬 Their Story

I’m 16 and I don’t think my parents believe in depression. I tried to tell my mom I felt like I was underwater all the time, and she told me to go for a walk. I tried the walk. I still felt like I was drowning. So I write in secret, and I look for people like me online.

I wish they just understood how I really felt. I want them know that the truth is on the inside.


💌 A Message to Someone Who’s Struggling

stop and think what others would feel if something happened.
