I was able to break it off. it was a toxic relationship. he basically kept me on a leash and gave me rules. even though I loved him alot. it was the best move for both of us if we ended. I ended up having two panic attacks while driving and i’m doing a bit better. hutmy mental state is still so messed up and it’s going to take me a while to recover from it. it screwed me over mentally for letting it happen. I should’ve left after the first sign of him telling me who I can and can’t talk to and him telling one of my old best friends that he is better off dead...

My whole childhood my mom had severe depression which in turn made her very upset and sad whenever she was around the family. She has since gotten better but she missed out on a lot of my childhood and was very angry and sad during he majority of my memories of her.

My uncle had PTSD from his time in the military as a helicopter technician, and it made it difficult for him to enjoy parts of our family reunions. If we ever planned on setting off fireworks he would have to be informed before hand and told where they would be set off or he would think it was a bomb.

A friend of mine from earlier in my life had depression and anxiety which created a situation where she could not get through a normal day or even conversation sometimes without going quiet and battling with her own head. It got to the point where one night she had threatened to hurt herself with a razor if I said anything nice to her or complimented her in any way.

I have struggled with anxiety and depression since my sophomore year. It was triggered by a mentally and physically abusive relationship, which also caused me to start showing signs of anorexia. During the relationship, I was regularly self-harming. After that relationship ended, I started binge eating and purging. I still struggle with my body image every day, but it has gotten easier as time has gone by. Medicine and talking with professionals really helps, as does a great group of friends.

I have been around mental illness for the majority of my life, whether it had to do with me personally or members of my family. My mom struggled with severe depression and was being treated with medication for a large portion of my childhood; but her medication wasn't helping, it was making her sleep more, etc. With my dad often being gone, I was put in a situation where I had to take care of myself and my brother, find houses in the neighborhood with families that would help take care of us. My mom doesn't remember part of my childhood because she was so out of it. Personally, I've struggled with eating disorders and mental illness, but we have never been to someone who could diagnose anything out of my mom's distrust of doctors, because of what happened to her when she went to someone to seek help. I've learned to cope with some things, but saying its easy to deal with is a lie.

I myself battle with depression and social anxiety disorder. Each and everyday is a struggle, however I believe that there is nothing wrong with me, the chemicals in my brain just decided they did not want to balance, lol. I was diagnosed at the age of 16 however I think I have had it for much longer, I just felt like such a burden talking to people about how I felt. I was on medication for a little bit, but money is tight with our family so I have not taken it in a really long time and it has been quite hard. I wake up everyday and pick out multiple different outfits because I fear that people will make fun of me for what I have on. My head tells me that one outfit is too classy for school but another outfit is too casual. It gets to the point where I just have to try and ignore it that way I won't be late. My mind is always telling me that people are making fun of me. In the hallways people are laughing because of how I look, or in classrooms because of my weight. It is so frustrating because I know that none of it is true and in reality nobody is paying attention to what I am doing, but because of the anxiety, I believe everyone is paying attention to me. I would not wish depression and anxiety on my worst enemy. I have been suicidal and have attempted suicide before. I am glad I survived my attempts because while having a mental illness is hard, I have become a much stronger person out of it. After trying to commit and failing, I see that life is a beautiful thing and the sun doesn't shine every single day. Batting with depression and anxiety is hard, it's like going to battle with yourself all the time, and sometimes you can't win. However, it isn't impossible.

It was so difficult for me to watch and be there for her with out being able to make it better. I, myself, was never diagnosed with depression, but felt like I had it over this past summer. I was going through a very rough time in my life.

My brother's severe ADHD among other issues has led to no end of problems within our house. It is a more than daily occurrence that he will get into a shouting match with our parents.  This has led to my mother dealing with depression, making it hard for her to enjoy life.  My brother too has dealt with depression, though in very different ways.  He will tell himself that nothing's wrong until it all boils over.  He has become more careless with his life and even once said that he would kill himself.

It was a while back when one of my friends told the rest of the group that she had depression. She had been seeing a therapist and getting some help for it, but she admitted to us that there were some days when she thought she just didn't deserve to be alive, that she didn't deserve anything. She says she doesn't feel capable and she's super self conscious about pretty much everything. A little while later, someone else in the group suspected that she had depression as well, and then got diagnosed. She's a bit more assertive than the rest of us, but really that just means shes more closed off, and better at hiding it. I try to get her to open up to me, and she does sometimes, but other than that, she's not as open with the rest of us. Then during spring break, another member of the group confessed to having anxiety and depression as well. She's the type of person who's really quiet and apologizes for every little thing, and it breaks my heart every time.

My entire  mother's side has some sort of mental illness, mostly add, adhd ,anxiety,depression,bipolar disorder, and possible quite more. My mother suffers from all of them, and passed the add/adhd to both of my brothers. My aunt has been admitted to a mental hospital but refused to go. I also have some undiagnosed mental illnesses and have fallen into depression many times.  I have had friends in the past that suffered from depression. I am currently learning about how to help my younger brother while he is still young so hopefully he can learn to manage his add. I also am helping many other kids who have mental illnesses and it is a very important experience for me, probably more than it is to them. They are just some wonderful children who no matter what they keep smiling.

One of my really good friends was stationed in North Korea. He endured long cold nights and had to huddle with the other soldiers in his tent to not get hypothermia. Now he can't be in a dark room without becoming terrified. It's hard to watch when that happens. Luckily, my sister is trying to help him through it.

We had a family that was very close to us-my parents met them in college so I grew up visiting them. They were closer to us than most of our other family members. A few years ago, the husband began having serious depression. In December of 2015 he went to a park and was planning on shooting himself. Someone was driving past and he changed his mind, ran up to them, and asked them to call 911 for him. They did later his wife (and two young girls) told him that they needed him to be with them and signed him up for a mental health appointment. He couldn't get in for about a month from that day though. They came to visit us for Christmas and went home after about a week. That was the last time we saw them. Two weeks after they visited us, the husband killed his wife and two daughters, then blew up their house killing himself. It was NOT the man we were friends with and was very evident that the depression had taken over him. We believe that he killed everyone out of love, knowing that they wouldn't do well without him. It changed my life forever. Depression can turn you into someone you are very much not. Please seek help if you feel depressed.

My mom and dad both suffer from depression and my mom from severe anxiety. A few weeks ago i was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts and severe anxiety, and am being treated currently for both, as well as depression. My best friends have both been relapsing into their own depression and I'm afraid they might hurt themselves. Sometimes I think it's easier to deal with when I'm drunk, sometimes I wish that I'd gone through with it and I didn't have to deal with it at all.

My mom has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Its hard to really form a relationship with her because of it. She changes a lot and sometimes I am scared to talk to her.

She has no filter, its definitely upsetting, but we make it work.
