"i seriously used to cry everyday and wonder when my life would change. i felt like i was stuck and had no one to talk to that would understand the way i felt. i used to think of all different ways to end the pain but i knew suicide was not the answer. i felt empty inside and tried everything to make myself feel better. i would turn to food to make myself feel better and i felt i was spiraling out of control. i would isolate myself from everyone. i resulted in cutting myself and i felt a sense of relief. i knew i needed help immediately. i told my doctor everything i was experiencing with tears in my eyes. he prescribed me lexapro and after two weeks i felt like a different person. it made me feel so much better and i could recognize myself."
