Trigger Warning:
Hi there! I'm Teyanna. I'm 21 years old. From the time I was 12 years old I have had depression and anxiety. It has made my life challenging to say the least. When I was in school it was the worst because I had to act like I was fine everyday to everyone. Have you ever been there? It sucks. It started out small, little thoughts that I couldn't seem to get out of my head. Anxiety attacks at the worst times possible. I for the life of me could not do presentations, if I had to do one, I took the fail instead.
Around the time I was 14, I met some rather, how do I say this kindly? Not nice people, and they made my anxiety worse. I got depressed, I never wanted to do anything or spend time with anyone. More often than not I was told to kill myself, and at one point I was depressed enough I really thought about it. I think the only reason I'm still alive today is because I'm not great with my own blood, I found that out from a whole different story.
Everyday my mind would tell me things like "you're not good enough"
"try harder"
"you're a failure"
somedays, even now my brain still tells me that, but I'm not going to give it the satisfaction.
The reason I'm telling you this is because I know what it's like to be in a dark place. I've been there, and I understand. I choose everyday to live, and you can too. You are needed, and you are wanted, and I know your brain tells you the opposite, but you are so important. You are loved, and you are worthy of loving yourself. You deserve it. You all do. I know what it's like to feel like a burden, but it is not true. I want you to know you are not alone. Thank you for being here. I'm proud of you. Keep going.
YOU DO MATTER.
