But then I did get better for a while, but it was a result of fake snakes. ]]> 2018-03-05 16:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162344 taylorn0400 https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162366 I have mild depression and severe anxiety. I used to think about taking my life away in 8th grade, but it has gotten much better, since I started taking medication. I also experience anxiety almost every night.]]> 2018-03-05 16:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162366 I have aggravated depression, which is like 0-100 stuff and personally happens when I cant see a future ahead of me or garbage like that. https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162571 2018-03-05 16:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162571 https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162675 I've had severe depression for about 5 months, and gone through "Generalized Anxiety". I would have 1-3 anxiety attacks weekly, and that was the most painful part tbh. It's not a fun process to go through, but I promise by the end of it you become a lot stronger as a person, and it gave me a new, and healthier perspective on life. At some point I'm glad I got help with it. Going through the stress of it by yourself at some point was unhealthy for me. 

A story I heard was someone who had severe depression and anorexia (or a eating disorder). This guy straight up told me he drank bleach, and I could tell he was not lying because he still had marks left on his eyebrows. I got to know him so well that day, there was so many things I couldn't relate with him about, but I just tried my best to listen and relate to similar, common experiences. ]]> 2018-03-05 16:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162675 My sister has struggled with both anorexia and depression since she was in High School. Her eating disorder got so bad that she had to be hospitalized for awhile. My dad also struggles with depression and lately I have been noticing some symptoms of depression within myself. https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162748 2018-03-05 16:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162748 Mental Illness Experience susany3789 https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162791 I don't know anyone personally with a mental illness, but I have ran into many mental ill people, and they all have someone following them around (for example, at school) and they don't seem to be able to control themselves]]> 2018-03-05 16:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162791 https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162826 I've suffered from mild depression when I was in middle school to about sophomore year. It was definitely the toughest time in my life but I realized that in order to get better, I had to find a way for myself. ]]> 2018-03-05 16:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162826 ryanp1589 https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238162838 My dad battles with depression and it is relevant in daily life. One of our family friends, who's basically family to us also has depression.

She is also bipolar, so it is hard to predict her emotions.

There were no signs her family could think as to why she did what she did. She had a lot of friends, a stable relationship with her boyfriend, and she was playing top line on her hockey team. Her friends however, remember having a weird conversation with her about death and they did nothing because they didn't it was anything. Since then, my family and I, have been very involved with teen 🤬 prevention with the organization Walk With Hope and her organization D.I.F.D. ]]> 2018-03-05 16:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163277 https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163323 I took a 4-week course on mental health and mental illness a few years ago. I learned a lot about silent disorders as well as others and a smaller subcourse about domestic violence and its effects on mental illness. I also studied mental health in schools and certain laws dealing with the recognition of learning disabilities in children and silent disorders in teenagers in high school and middle school. ]]> 2018-03-05 16:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163323 https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163328 While working at a hospital I met a few patients with mental disorders. People often come to me to talk about their depression or anxiety, so I have a bit of experience regarding this subject. I also took a class at Pomona College regarding psychological disorders. ]]> 2018-03-05 16:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163328 I have ADHD and ADD https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163333 2018-03-05 16:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163333 charlesl3134 https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163358 Many family members suffer from depression and ptsd]]> 2018-03-05 16:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163358 christyk4550 https://padlet.com/bbohn/Mentalillness/wish/238163552 My best friend has had depression and suffered from extreme anxiety for years. As her best friend, I have stood by her and helped her through some dark years in her life and tried my best to be the most supportive friend I can possibly be.

They went away for a long time but one day it came back so extreme while she was driving me to school and she almost passed out in the middle of the street while she was steering. I have slowly noticed how I get really small anxiety attacks in the morning before coming to school but my anxiety is not as bad as my moms.
